What can I put in a Soft Skip? Timber, (timber with nails, plasterboard, plastic, metal, clothing, furniture, computers, garden rubbish, general household and even whitegoods - etc.
What can't I put in a Soft Skip? Bricks, concrete soil or tiles - it's a weight limitation of the cranes used to pick up the loaded Soft Skips. We also will not accept asbestos or other hazardous waste.

Can I put a washing machine or large item in the Soft Skip? You sure can, but this could waste a lot of valuable space. Just put it next to the filled Soft Skip and for a small additional fee we'll take it away. But you are welcome to put it in the Soft Skip if you want.
What if I don't know how much rubbish I have? Sometimes its difficult to work out quanties of rubbish and once you start you may find that you have more than you first thought. Just take additional Soft Skip(s) and any unused will be refunded. We have also introduced a system we like to call POFSU - Pay Only For Space Used . After the first skip, we'll charge by the half skip ($80 - for up to half a Soft Skip, $139 for an additional full skip).

How much is the Soft Skip service? $139 including pick and tip charges
How much weight can go in the Soft Skip? Up to 1 ton (which is a huge amount)
What are the dimensions of the Soft Skip? 1700mm long x 1500mm wide x 1200mm tall
How do you pick up the Soft Skip? We have crane trucks that lift the Soft Skip straight up, thus minimising damage to valuable driveways
What happens to my rubbish? What can be recycled, will be. We use various transfer stations and landfills around Melbourne, depending on the type of rubbish to be disposed of. As a company we are conscious of the effect our actions may have on the environment and do whatever is practical to minimise adverse effects. It is helpful if you can put recyclable objects on the top of the Soft Skip.

Will the Soft Skip puncture?
Yes, with sharp objects like nails, glass etc - but it doesn't matter . It does not diminish its use in any way and because of its unique design we can still lift the Soft Skip with the crane and remove all your unwanted rubbish
How do the sides stay up so that I can load the Soft Skip?
By turning the top edge of the Soft Skip out and down to the ground the sides will stay up firmly enough to load. This method also halves the height and allows you to step into the skip and load to maximum efficiency. Load it like a suitcase and build up, pulling the sides up as you go.
Where should I place the Soft Skip?
Place the oft Skip in a sensible position for pick up. It needs to be within 2 metres of the truck, truck access has to be clear from fences, parked cars and tight corners or drives. Please be aware of overhead obstructions as we use a crane to lift the soft skip. *Only place the Soft Skip on the nature strip if you have checked with your Council and have a permit if needed. Give us a call if you’re in anyway unsure - its easy!

What if I have awkward or heavy items additional to my Soft Skip load? Easy, peasy. Just let us know so that we can allow the room on the truck when we pick up. Additional items will cost the following - mattress -$25, washing machine/dryer/dishwasher $20, one door fridge or freezer $20, sofa 2/3 seater $40 and an armchair $20. Hope this gives you an indication - just call us if you need to know more or if you're unsure.

Can I pick up a Soft Skip if I need it straight away? Absolutely. At this stage 7eleven on the corner of Oban and Ringwood-Warrandyte Rds in North Ringwood and BP in Park Orchards are pick up points fot the Soft Skip, we hope to expand this network in the very near future.
How long will it take to get a Soft Skip delivered? Most of our Soft Skip are couriered and so delivery is usally the next day, but just let us know if you need it sooner and we'll try to accommodate your needs.
How long can I keep the Soft Skip for loading? As long as you like. There is no time restriction on how long you keep the Soft Skip, although we recommend that once you have placed the skip outside in the open for loading, that you call for pick up within a month.
