Everything You Need to Know Before You Book

How much does it cost to hire a skip bin?

Pricing depends on your bin size and waste type. We confirm your flat price on the phone before you commit. That price covers delivery, hire, and collection. No weight surcharges. No hidden fees.

How quickly can I get a skip delivered?

We offer same-day and next-day delivery across the greater Cairns region, from Palm Cove to Gordonvale. Saturday delivery is also available. Your bin arrives as early as tomorrow.

What size skip bin do I need?

You don't need to figure that out yourself. Tell us what you're getting rid of and roughly how much there is. We'll recommend the exact bin size for your job.

Why should I choose Tropical Skips over other companies?

790+ five-star Google reviews. Cairns' largest fleet with 800 bins and 10 trucks. A flat price locked on the phone before you commit. The Full Transparency Guarantee. Locally owned in Kamerunga.

I've had bad experiences with other skip bin companies. How are you different?

We hear this a lot. Your price is confirmed before you commit. Your delivery window is locked. We answer the phone. We can't undo what the last mob did, but we can show you what it's supposed to look like.

What if I'm not happy with the service?

We back every job with our Triple Guarantee. The Full Transparency Guarantee means if a cost wasn't discussed before you booked, you don't owe it. The On-Time Guarantee means we deliver and collect when we said we would. And our Environmental Guarantee means we divert recyclable materials from landfill with every collection.

What if I can't lift heavy items into the bin?

You don't have to. We offer walk-in door bins so you can wheel, drag, or walk heavy and bulky items straight in at ground level. Fridges, washing machines, broken furniture. No lifting over the side. No wrecking your back. No hiring someone off Airtasker to do it for you.

How do I know the price won't change after I book?

Because we confirm every cost and explain every scenario that could change it before you say yes. That's our Full Transparency Guarantee. If we didn't mention it, you don't owe it. Our reviews confirm we charge exactly what we quote. Read them yourself on Google.

What happens after I get my quote?

We confirm your bin size, flat price, and delivery day on the phone. Your skip is delivered as early as tomorrow, placed exactly where you need it. You fill it at your pace over up to 7 days. When you're done, we collect on the day we promised. The whole process from first call to clear yard takes days, not weeks.

How a Kamerunga Local Built Cairns' Most Trusted Skip Bin Hire

In 2019, Jared Lacco started Tropical Skips right here in Kamerunga to give Cairns a skip bin hire service that actually does what it says. One flat price. Show up on time. No runaround.

Before starting Tropical Skips, Jared spent years working in the waste industry across Cairns and saw the same thing over and over. Customers getting quoted one price and billed another. Bins not showing up when they were promised. Phone calls going unanswered. He knew it didn't have to be that way. So in 2019 he started Tropical Skips with a simple idea: tell people the real price, show up when you say you will, and actually give a damn.

Starting with a small fleet and a simple promise, the business has grown into Cairns' largest skip bin operation. 800 bins. 10 trucks. Every suburb from Palm Cove to Gordonvale.

But the size hasn't changed how we operate. Bre still answers the phone by name. Our drivers still place bins with a smile, even up the steep ones.

We provide honest, transparent quotes and service that your neighbours already trust.
