Skip hire in Varsity Lakes
Varsity Lakes dates from 1999, when Delfin Lend Lease bought the land that sat between Stephens and Robina; Lake Orr was created during that development. Pick a bin; the card shows how soon it can come.

A suburb since 2002
Varsity Lakes was formed in 2002 by merging Stephens, Andrews and a section of Robina. If you're unsure whether your street counts, the boundary follows the motorway on the west and Reedy Creek Road along the south, while Mattocks Road and Bermuda Street mark the eastern side. Inside it you'll find the train station hard against the M1, Janette Green Park (it has the skate park) and Varsity College on Varsity Parade.
Townhouses, apartments and double driveways
Separate houses made up about 43 per cent of homes in 2021, with roughly a third semi-detached or townhouses, and apartments almost a quarter. A double driveway generally takes a 4m³ or 6m³. In a complex, common property is controlled by the body corporate, so get its permission for the bin first.
Laneway garages: Provence and Tannerone
A number of houses are accessed from rear laneways, Provence Lane and Tannerone Lane among them. If your garage opens to a lane, the skip has to stay within your block, with the neighbours' access left open.
Move-outs and quick refreshes
Most work here is clear-outs and freshen-ups: a house move, a storage cage or garage that needs emptying, a bathroom update or a backyard tidy. A townhouse job often fits a 3m³ or 4m³; emptying a whole house usually needs a 6m³.
Permits in Varsity Lakes
No permit is needed inside your boundary, including a lane-side spot on your own land. Put the bin on the street, verge or footpath and you'll need council's permit (City of Gold Coast), with you taking full responsibility for it. ASAP Skip doesn't handle permit applications.
Varsity Lakes sizes
A townhouse or apartment move-out, or a small reno, usually fits a 3m³ (twelve wheelie bins) or a 4m³ (sixteen). A full house clear-out or bigger renovation suits a 6m³ (twenty-four). Extensions or building work can step up to the 9m³ or the 15m³ hook bin. Weight caps heavy waste: soil at 4m³, concrete at 6m³.
Varsity Lakes bins and prices
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.

Varsity Lakes questions
If I book before lunch, when's the first delivery date?
A booking placed before 12pm, Queensland time, can select the following day, which keeps within the 36-hour notice rule. AM or PM is a preference only.
Our garage opens onto a laneway. Where does the bin go?
On your own land, clear of the lane so neighbours can still get through. A street placement needs a council permit that you apply for.
Can I add more hire time?
Yes. Standard hire is 14 days; at checkout, take one extra week ($35) or unlimited hire ($50).
Can the skip use our complex's visitor parking?
Only if the body corporate agrees, because visitor parks are common property.
