Wondering if you can fill your skip bin over the rim? You’ve come to the right place! Unfortunately filling your skip bin over the rim is not an option. The reason for this is due to road safety. Pro Skip Australia always ensures that we are keeping our clients, staff and the general public safe when it comes to waste management. When a skip bin has rubbish overfilled and it goes over the rim, it presents many dangers. It endangers road users as the material could possibly fall out of the bin and onto the road.
A way to avoid filling the skip bin you hire over the rim is by measuring your waste beforehand. If you have an approximate size, you can determine the suitable skip bin size that you’ll need to ensure you don’t have that problem. We provide skip bins ranging from 2 to 12 cubic metres in size. With no weight restriction on the majority of our bins, the size would be the only thing you need to worry about.

Our standard skips cannot be used for hazardous waste and should not include mattresses, tyres or tree stumps unless previously mentioned. If found, such items will incur a surcharge. Visit our Skip Bins page for more information.
Each of our bins come with a painted line that indicates the height limit of your load. If, however, this line is not clear, your waste should not exceed the rim of the bin.
Our skip bins do not have a weight limit which means, as long as your waste does not pile over the rim, you can fill it as much as you like.
