From Potts Point to Pottsville
The village takes its name from Bill Potts, who owned its first house. It started out as Potts Point and was renamed to avoid confusion with the Sydney suburb. Coronation Avenue is the centre; the Cottage on Coronation still stands there, as does the old Pottsville Store, both from the village's early days. Mooball Creek meets the sea close by. The 2021 Census counted 7,238 residents.
Four estates, one postcode
Growth has come through estates such as these. With 76 per cent of homes being houses at the 2021 Census, a driveway drop is the norm and needs no approval. Renovations, garage clear-outs and landscaping are the bread-and-butter jobs, and a 4m³ handles most of them.
Complexes and common property
About one home in six (18 per cent) is a townhouse or semi. On common property, it's the body corporate's call whether a skip can sit there, so get an answer before you book, then size the bin to the space you're given.
Council approval in Pottsville
Private land needs no approval. Put the skip on a public roadway, footpath or verge and Tweed Shire Council expects you to hold its Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place; a council fee is charged. Applying is down to you, as is responsibility for the bin. ASAP Skip doesn't apply for approvals.
Which bin for a Pottsville job
Clearing the garage is 3m³ work. Renovation rubble and heavier loads fit the 4m³ better, while a whole-house renovation wants a 6m³ or 9m³; demolition is the hook bin's job at 15m³. Landscaping often means two bins: Green Waste for garden material, and Dirt, capped at 4m³, for soil. Concrete stops at 6m³.
Bins sized for Pottsville driveways
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.

Pottsville questions
Is Black Rocks or Koala Beach inside your delivery area?
Yes. All of 2489 is in the delivery area, Black Rocks and Koala Beach included. Your street address at checkout is all we need.
Can I get a door on the skip?
Yes, for $30, but only on the three smaller sizes, up to 6m³. It makes barrows of soil or heavy items easier to load.
What's banned from a Pottsville skip?
Asbestos, tyres and batteries, without exception, plus gas bottles, liquids, paint and chemicals. Unsure about an item? Call 1800 462 674 before it goes in.
When is my cut-off for a next-day date?
Midday Queensland time, which is 1pm in Pottsville over summer. We need 36 hours' notice, and AM or PM is a preference.
