Pacific Pines, from an 800-hectare plan
Stockland bought 800 hectares in 1990 and planned about 5,800 house lots. It gained suburb status in 2003, and Nerang, Maudsland, Gaven and Oxenford surround it. Central Park's lake is the local landmark, right on Pacific Pines Boulevard, the main road through. The 2016 and 2021 censuses both put the population at around 16,700.
Hedges, trees and tired beds
Plantings from the 1990s are now well grown, so cutting back hard or starting the yard over is a regular job. Green Waste takes the prunings; soil, rocks or timber mixed in brings a contamination fee.
One house, one driveway
Because the estate was laid out as house lots, most homes have a driveway of their own, which is the natural place for the bin. Shift the car to the street the evening before so the truck has a clean approach from the kerb. Garage clear-outs, a spare bedroom becoming a home office and bathroom updates are common here.
Old paths, pavers and patios
Ripping out concrete or pavers makes heavy waste with size limits: concrete and clean rubble may fill a bin no bigger than 6m³, soil no bigger than 4m³. Ring 1800 462 674 and a bigger load can be shared between bins. A walk-in door on a 3m³, 4m³ or 6m³ lets you barrow material in rather than lifting it.
Permits in Pacific Pines
On the driveway or in the yard, no permit applies. Should the skip need to sit on the roadway, the grass verge or a footpath, a City of Gold Coast permit must be in place first; you obtain it and carry the responsibility. Permits aren't something ASAP Skip lodges; if the driveway can't be used, get yours sorted early.
Matching bins to Pacific Pines jobs
A typical yard overhaul fills a 4m³ or 6m³ Green Waste bin, which hold about 16 and 24 wheelie bins. A garage or spare room fits comfortably in a 3m³ or 4m³ general bin. Pulling up pavers or an old path? That's Concrete & Clean Rubble, 6m³ at most. Soil from levelling goes in a Dirt bin, 4m³ at most.
Popular bins in Pacific Pines
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.

Pacific Pines questions
Can I put soil in my green waste skip along with the prunings?
No. Prunings are fine, but soil, rocks and timber aren't, and contamination fees apply if they turn up. Book a separate Dirt bin, 4m³ or smaller, for soil.
How much does the walk-in door add?
$30, and it's available on the 3m³, 4m³ and 6m³ only. It helps when you're barrowing pavers or rubble.
What's banned from every bin?
Batteries, tyres and asbestos, plus chemicals, wet paint, liquids and gas bottles.
When's the earliest a Pacific Pines bin can arrive?
You need to give 36 hours. A booking placed by midday Queensland time shows tomorrow as the earliest date, and AM or PM counts as a preference only.
