Kingscliff skip bins on the Tweed Coast
Thirteen kilometres south of Tweed Heads, Kingscliff mixes holiday units along Marine Parade with family beach houses. Give us 36 hours' notice, then pick from the dates the card opens up.
Every date and time on this site is Queensland time. During NSW daylight saving, October through April, our clocks trail Kingscliff's by an hour, so a date shown as tomorrow is tomorrow in Queensland.

From Sutherland Point to Marine Parade
The town has worn three names. Cudgen Headland came after James Cook's 1770 label, Sutherland Point, and lots were cut up for sale from 1915. Kingscliff, borrowed from a nearby estate, arrived in 1926, partly to stop people confusing the place with Cudgen. Around 8,400 people call it home. Marine Parade does the job of a main street, lined with cafes, shops and accommodation that look out over the beach and the creek. The coastal oceanway path joins the original town centre to the newer estates. The beach has had its battles with erosion, and foreshore revitalisation work began in 2016.
Holiday lets and unit buildings
Roughly 21 per cent of Kingscliff dwellings are flats or apartments, and the holiday trade is a big part of local life. Before refitting a unit or freshening up a let, ask the body corporate or building manager whether the driveway or a visitor space can take a bin. Undercover car parks rarely work, because the truck needs open air above it. Most unit jobs fit a 3m³ or 4m³.
Houses, gardens and full refits
Detached houses make up 62 per cent of the housing here, and the median age sits at 47. Expect kitchen and bathroom renovations, whole-house refits and backyard landscaping. A driveway drop keeps it simple and needs no council approval. Landscaping spoil is heavy: soil goes in a 4m³ bin or smaller, concrete in a 6m³ or smaller.
Tweed Shire approval for kerbside bins
Keep the bin on your block and nobody needs to approve anything. Out on public land (roadway, footpath, verge), you must hold an Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place from Tweed Shire Council, which has a fee attached. You organise it and you wear the responsibility. Our prices and rules don't change at the border; there's no NSW surcharge.
Kingscliff sizes, unit to whole house
Refitting a unit or turning over a holiday let: 3m³ or 4m³, about a dozen and sixteen wheelie bins. One kitchen or bathroom in a house: 4m³. A full house renovation: 6m³ (24) or 9m³ (36). Demolition or a big commercial clean-out: the 15m³ hook bin, around 60. Soil can't go above 4m³; concrete can't go above 6m³.
Kingscliff bin sizes
The big number is the green waste price; general waste is underneath. GST, drop-off, collection and 14 days of hire are all in the figure.

Kingscliff questions
Does the hour's difference matter when I book?
It can. From October to April, NSW daylight saving puts Kingscliff an hour ahead of us. The midday cut-off, your delivery date and the AM or PM preference all run on Queensland time.
Will a bin fit under our apartment block's car park roof?
Usually not, because the truck needs clear space overhead. An open visitor space or driveway works better, with the body corporate's approval. If only the street will do, sort the Tweed Shire Council approval before delivery day.
Is there a NSW surcharge?
No. A Kingscliff bin costs exactly what it would in Burleigh Heads, from $340 for a 3m³ of Green Waste, and the 14 days of hire come with it.
My reno is running over. Can I keep the bin?
Yes, if you plan for it at checkout: $35 for one more week, or $50 for hire with no end date. It's one or the other.
