Labrador skip bins for townhouses, duplexes and units
Only about one Labrador home in five is a stand-alone house, so where the skip goes usually needs agreeing before what size it is. Allow 36 hours' notice when you book; hire lasts 14 days.

36 hours from booking
We need 36 hours' notice. Book before midday, Queensland time, and tomorrow is the earliest date you can pick.
Broadwater frontage, packed-in streets
Labrador fronts the Broadwater. Marine Parade hugs the foreshore, and along it are Ian Dipple Lagoon and a boat ramp at Broad Street; Frank Street handles the through traffic. The 2021 Census showed townhouses, duplexes and apartments making up most homes, with separate houses at roughly 20 per cent. Close to half of homes were rented.
Common driveways and tight blocks
Shared driveways and visitor parks in a townhouse or duplex complex belong to the body corporate. Get its yes first, then book. Apartment blocks can be tighter still, and when no on-site space works the street becomes the fallback. Houses with a private driveway are simpler, and a 3m³ or 4m³ is a reasonable first pick there. Leave neighbours room to reach their garages.
Move-outs, refits and garden tidies
With so many rentals, end-of-lease clean-outs suit a skip, whether you're the tenant leaving or the owner preparing for the next one. Unit kitchen and bathroom updates, downsizing and garden work on house blocks are the other regulars. Garden makeovers on house blocks can go to a Green Waste bin, prunings and clippings only.
Street placement in Labrador
Body corporate land and your own lot are private, so neither needs a council permit. Put the skip kerbside, on the verge or across a footpath and that changes: a City of Gold Coast street permit is then needed, and sorting it out, plus the responsibility, falls to you. ASAP Skip won't apply on your behalf. Allow time for it if your block has no room on site.
Sizing a Labrador job
A typical unit or townhouse clean-out starts at a 3m³, about 12 wheelie bins, or a 4m³, about 16. Refitting the kitchen or bathroom of a two- or three-bedroom unit could need a 6m³. Lifting courtyard pavers or digging soil? Those weigh a lot, so soil can't go above a 4m³ and concrete can't go above a 6m³.
Sizes for Labrador units and courtyards
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.

Labrador questions
I'm a tenant moving out. Can I book a skip for the clean-up?
Yes. Check with the building or body corporate where it can go, then book with at least 36 hours' notice. The walk-in door, $30 on a 3m³, 4m³ or 6m³, makes loading furniture easier.
Does a skip on our complex's shared drive need council paperwork?
No council permit, because it's private land, but the body corporate must approve it. Only street placement brings in the City of Gold Coast permit.
Can garden clippings and household junk go in together?
Not in a Green Waste bin; a contamination fee applies if anything else goes in. Use General Household for mixed loads.
What happens if I book after midday?
Notice is 36 hours, so after midday Queensland time tomorrow is no longer available, and the earliest date moves to the day after.
