Between Tallebudgera and Currumbin creeks
Two creeks set the limits of Palm Beach: Tallebudgera up north, Currumbin down south. The Pacific Motorway closes off the western side. To cross from the highway to the M1, locals take Palm Beach Avenue; past the motorway it continues as Nineteenth Avenue into Elanora. Bins for 4221 run from the 3m³ for light clean-ups through to the 15m³ hook bin when a house is coming down.
Canal blocks around Awonga and Waidup lakes
If your block sits on the Awonga or Waidup lakes, your own driveway is generally the best place for the bin. Housing here is mixed: the 2021 Census had apartments almost level with separate houses, and roughly 20 per cent of homes were townhouses, duplexes or semis.
Duplexes and unit blocks
Shared driveways and visitor bays are common property. Get the neighbour next door, or the body corporate, to agree before booking. If a shared drive is the only private space you have, settle that conversation first.
Rebuilds, renos and rentals
Gutting a dated beach house before it's rebuilt, new kitchens and bathrooms, and landscaping on canal blocks are all regular jobs. Over a third of local homes are rentals, so clean-outs between tenants come up too. Renovation waste suits General Builders. Leaves, lawn clippings and hedge cuttings need a Green Waste bin to themselves.
Kerbside skips in Palm Beach
Your own driveway, lawn or paving needs nothing from council. When kerbside, a verge or a footpath is the only spot available, the City of Gold Coast requires its own permit for that spot. Applying, and the responsibility for the bin out there, sit with you. ASAP Skip doesn't handle permits.
Palm Beach sizes
Clearing a unit, or ripping out a single bathroom, generally fits a 3m³ or 4m³. Replacing the kitchen and bathroom of a house or duplex: the 6m³ holds about 24 wheelie bins, the 9m³ about 36. Gutting a beach house ahead of a rebuild? The 15m³ hook bin is worth a look, as long as the block has room. Soil maxes out at 4m³ and concrete at 6m³; anything heavier is split over more bins by phone.
Palm Beach bins and rates
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.

Palm Beach questions
Can I keep a skip through a staged renovation?
Yes. Fourteen days come standard. At checkout, add one extra week for $35, or move to unlimited hire for $50 so the bin stays until the last stage is done.
We share a duplex driveway. Is that allowed?
With your neighbour's agreement, yes. It's common property, so ask before you book.
Can a skip sit on a Palm Beach street without council sign-off?
No. Kerbside, verge and footpath spots need a City of Gold Coast permit, which you lodge yourself. Driveways and lawns need nothing.
Where do hedge clippings go?
Into a Green Waste bin on their own. Any other rubbish in there adds a contamination fee.
