Tweed Heads skip hire, just over the border
Three Tweed Heads homes in four are units or townhouses, so most jobs start with the building manager. Allow 36 hours, then choose from the dates the card opens.
Our bookings, delivery dates and hours run on Queensland time. While NSW daylight saving is on, early October to early April, we're an hour behind Tweed Heads, so when the card says tomorrow, it's counting in Queensland days.

Twin town at the Tweed's mouth
This is the most northerly town in NSW. The Tweed River reaches the ocean here, and Coolangatta is its twin on the Queensland side of the line. Point Danger, site of the Captain Cook memorial and a lighthouse, has been the boundary marker between the states since 1863. For years the town's official name was Cooloon; Tweed Heads only became formal in 1965. Minjungbal Drive, which used to carry the Pacific Highway, and Wharf Street take most of the local traffic. Bins come across from BOSH Bins' yard in Burleigh Heads.
Units, townhouses and building managers
Fewer than a quarter of homes here are separate houses. The 2021 split was 44 per cent flats or apartments and 30 per cent townhouses or semis. Start with the building manager or body corporate. They'll say whether a visitor space, the loading zone or one end of the driveway can take the skip, and you'll want to confirm the truck has open sky for the lift. A 3m³ or 4m³ uses less shared space and covers most unit clear-outs.
Downsizing and village moves
The median age in Tweed Heads was 55 at the 2021 Census, and retirement villages are common across the wider area. Moving into one, or into a smaller unit, usually means letting go of furniture, boxes, what's in the garage and some garden waste. One General Household bin handles that mix. Villages set their own rules on bin placement, so ask management before booking.
Tweed Shire Council approval
A skip that stays on your property needs nobody's sign-off. Kerbside placements (roadway, footpath, verge) need Tweed Shire Council's Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place, plus the fee council sets. Lodging it is your task, as is the responsibility, so start early if the building has nowhere off the street. Prices and rules are identical to the Gold Coast.
Sizes for Tweed Heads jobs
Unit clear-out or one-room refit: 3m³ or 4m³ (twelve or sixteen wheelie bins' worth), and both slot into a visitor bay more easily. Leaving a bigger house, or renovating all of it: 6m³ (24) or 9m³ (36). Soil tops out at a 4m³ bin, concrete at a 6m³.
Tweed Heads 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.

Tweed Heads questions
I'm right on the border. Which rules apply?
Go by your address. Tweed Heads is in NSW, so Tweed Shire Council's rules apply. Coolangatta, a street away, is in Queensland and has its own council rules. Our prices are identical on both sides.
Is my building's car park an option?
Only if the body corporate or building manager says yes, since the car park is common property. The lift needs open sky, so an uncovered visitor bay works where an undercover car park won't.
Helping a parent move into a village. Which bin?
General Household for furniture, boxes and old household items. Check the village's rules on bin placement before you book.
What time zone is the AM or PM preference in?
Queensland time, like every date on the site. During NSW daylight saving that's an hour behind your clock. Morning or afternoon is a request we aim for, not a locked-in slot.
