Skip hire for Mermaid Beach units, townhouses and houses
Mermaid Beach squeezes units, townhouses and houses into the strip from the sand to the Mermaid Waters canals, so where the bin goes matters as much as its size. Book online and the card names your earliest date under the 36-hour rule.

Know your block before you book
The name dates from the Mermaid Beach Estate land sale of about 1924. These days about six homes in ten are flats or apartments, and the remainder divides evenly between townhouses and separate houses (2021 Census). Nobby Beach forms the southern end, while the Gold Coast Highway runs straight through the middle.
Duplexes off Hedges Avenue
The Gold Coast Oceanway path follows Hedges Avenue, east of the highway. Lots of duplexes and small unit blocks share one driveway, so agree on a bin position with the neighbours ahead of delivery and leave room for cars. A 3m³ or 4m³ usually sits more comfortably on a short drive.
Renters, owners and rebuilders
Nearly half of households rent, which makes end-of-lease clear-outs a regular job. Apartment and townhouse owners lean towards kitchen, bathroom and flooring updates. House blocks bring garden clean-ups and the occasional knock-down for a rebuild, and that's when the 15m³ hook bin makes sense, block size allowing.
Before the truck pulls up
Empty the spot where the bin will land and shift vehicles out of the truck's path. Choose AM or PM at booking to plan around; it's a preference, not a fixed time. If the work will outlast the standard fortnight, $35 buys another week and $50 removes the end date altogether.
Driveway, front yard or the kerb
A driveway or front yard is your own ground, and no permit is needed. The road, footpath and verge are public land, where a skip is only allowed with a City of Gold Coast permit. Getting one, and answering for the bin while it's out there, is your job; permit paperwork is outside what ASAP Skip does.
Matching the bin to the block
Start with the space. One-room renovations and unit refreshes are 3m³ or 4m³ territory, roughly 12 to 16 wheelie bins. Full-house renovations and major garden overhauls suit a 6m³ or 9m³. Dirt is limited to a 4m³ and concrete to a 6m³.
Mermaid Beach sizes, short drive to big block
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.

Mermaid Beach questions
Our duplex shares a driveway. Where should the skip go?
Pick a spot every household agrees on that still lets cars through, inside the property so no permit applies. If the property has no room, the bin can only go on the street once you've obtained a City of Gold Coast permit.
I'm moving out at the end of a lease. Which waste type?
General Household suits furniture, boxes and general clutter. A mattress can go in if you declare it at booking, at $100 each.
Can a knock-down rebuild use a hook bin?
Yes. Demolition is what the 15m³ hook bin is built for, provided the truck can fit it onto the block. No bin accepts asbestos, so get older materials checked first.
What's the shortest notice you'll take?
At least 36 hours. A booking before midday Queensland time can choose the next day as its first date.
