Main Beach skip bins for apartments and houses
Most Main Beach homes are apartments, so the building's rules come before the bin. With the go-ahead in hand, choose a size and lock in the soonest date our 36-hour lead time permits.
Earliest date you can book
36 hours from booking
We need 36 hours' notice. Book before midday, Queensland time, and tomorrow is the earliest date you can pick.
Surf on one side, Broadwater on the other
Main Beach is a slim strip with surf on one side and the Broadwater behind it. It starts at Narrowneck and finishes at The Spit, beside the Gold Coast Seaway. Tedder Avenue is lined with high-rises, Seaworld Drive heads past Marina Mirage toward Sea World, and Macarthur Parade is home to the Southport Yacht Club marina. Apartments dominate, close to nine in ten homes when the 2021 Census was taken, and freestanding houses are rare.
Building manager first
Car parks, driveways and loading bays in apartment buildings are usually common property. Whether a skip is allowed, which spot it gets and how many days it can stay are all up to the body corporate or building manager, so get their answer in writing before you book. The 3m³ has the smallest footprint we offer.
Downsizing and dated units
At the last Census the median Main Beach resident was 57, and plenty of skips here are booked for a downsize. Older units also give up tired kitchens, bathrooms and floors, plus furniture that won't suit the next home.
The few freestanding houses
Own a house? Keep the skip on your driveway and council isn't involved. A full renovation or knock-down can step up to the 9m³, or to the 15m³ hook bin, roughly sixty wheelie bins, if the truck and the bin both fit on the block.
Permits on Tedder Avenue and the side streets
Private land, no permit. Kerbside on Tedder Avenue or any side street, whether on the verge or across the footpath, you'll need a permit from council (City of Gold Coast) before it lands. Arranging it and carrying the responsibility are both on you, as ASAP Skip doesn't apply for permits. In an apartment building, anything on common property also needs the body corporate's okay.
Sizing an apartment job
Refitting one kitchen or bathroom: a 3m³ (roughly twelve wheelie bins) or a 4m³ (sixteen), and the smaller sizes are kinder to a shared car park. Clearing a whole apartment, furniture included: a 6m³ (twenty-four). House renovations and knock-downs: a 9m³, or the 15m³ hook bin where it fits.
Main Beach bins, priced
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.

Main Beach questions
My apartment refit could run past 14 days. What are my options?
Add a week for $35 at checkout, or take unlimited hire for $50. They can't be combined, so pick whichever suits the schedule.
What's the most compact skip for a building car park?
The 3m³. It takes about twelve wheelie bins' worth, enough for a single kitchen or bathroom refit.
When can a bin reach my Main Beach building?
No sooner than 36 hours after booking, so a booking placed before noon Queensland time can have the next day as its date. Keep the loading area clear for the AM or PM half you prefer.
Does a skip outside the building need a permit?
If it's on the road, verge or footpath, yes, and you apply to council for it yourself. Inside the property it's the body corporate's call instead.
