Miami skip hire, beach side to Pizzey Park
Miami fits houses, duplexes and units into about three square kilometres, so where the bin sits matters as much as its size. Book with 36 hours' notice and the card shows your first available date.

From Miami Shore to the highway
The name goes back to the early 1920s, when a real estate venture at North Burleigh was called Miami Shore after Miami Shores in Florida. Estates like it filled with timber and fibro bungalows, and Miami Shore Parade keeps the old name alive. These days the Gold Coast Highway carves the suburb into east and west halves. Hythe Street runs from the highway down to the sand; heading inland are Christine Avenue and Pacific Avenue, the latter home to the Pizzey Park sporting complex.
A three-way split of homes
Housing in the 2021 Census split almost evenly three ways. Units and apartments: about 37 per cent. Attached homes (townhouses, duplexes and the like): 32 per cent. Separate houses: 31 per cent. So sort out placement before size. A driveway of your own usually fits a 3m³ or 4m³. A shared duplex driveway needs your neighbour on board, since the bin can stop them getting the car out for the full hire. In a unit complex, read the body corporate rules first.
Fibro cottages and asbestos
Plenty of older Miami homes include fibro. According to the QBCC, Queensland's building regulator, homes built before 1990 are likely to have some asbestos in them, and no ASAP Skip bin can take it. Get suspect sheeting tested before any demolition starts. Gutting a cottage typically lands in the 6m³ to 9m³ range; flattening the house for a rebuild calls for the 15m³ hook bin, sometimes two.
On your land or on the street
Your own land needs no permit. The roadway, footpath and verge are public, and a skip left there needs City of Gold Coast approval in the form of a permit, which you apply for and answer for; ASAP Skip doesn't arrange them. No room on site at your duplex or unit block? Sort the permit before your date.
Miami sizes by type of home
Unit or townhouse bathroom or kitchen: 3m³ or 4m³, near enough 12 and 16 wheelie bins. Gutting an older cottage: 6m³ (24) to 9m³ (36). Full knock-down: the 15m³ hook bin (roughly 60 wheelie bins), and possibly a second. Heavy material has caps, dirt at 4m³ and concrete at 6m³; for anything beyond that, phone 1800 462 674 and we'll book it over more than one bin.
Miami's starter 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.

Miami questions
We share a duplex driveway. Can the skip go there?
Yes, with your neighbour's agreement, because the bin can block their way out for the whole hire. A private driveway needs no council permit, and a duplex under a body corporate may add rules of its own.
Our cottage has fibro. Can it go in a skip?
Not if it contains asbestos, which no bin accepts. The QBCC warns that pre-1990 homes often contain some, so have suspect sheeting tested first.
How much notice does a Miami booking need?
Thirty-six hours. Book by midday and tomorrow opens up as the first choice. Morning or afternoon? Request one at checkout; we aim for it, but it isn't fixed.
Who applies for the permit for a street skip?
You do. The City of Gold Coast issues it for public land out front, and the customer arranges it and carries the responsibility. ASAP Skip doesn't lodge applications.
