Asphalt waste in Geelong and surrounds usually comes from cracked or lifted driveways on brick-veneer homes in Belmont, Grovedale, Highton and Newtown, plus carpark patches in Corio and Lara. Those surfaces sit on volcanic-plain clay that swells and shrinks, so the old mix often breaks into thick, dense slabs rather than light chips. That density is what decides skip size: a 4 m³ bin can hit weight limits fast if you load full-depth driveway sections instead of millings. We place bins on the street or hardstand where access allows, then take the load for recycling rather than general landfill.
Mixed loads are the main edge case. Homeowners in older Geelong streets often throw in concrete edging, pavers or soil, which can reclassify the whole skip and add handling time. Keep asphalt as clean as possible so it can go to a recycling stream. Placement also matters on narrow Newtown and Geelong West frontages: we need a legal spot that does not block footpaths or stormwater inlets. Book within Mon–Fri 8am–6pm or Sat 9am–2pm so delivery lines up with your demolition day and the bin is not sitting idle on a wet clay verge.
Once the bin is on site, load from the low side and keep the load even so we can lift it without over-weight issues. Asphalt millings from a resurfacing job are lighter and stack better than solid slabs from a full tear-out. If you are doing a Highton or Waurn Ponds driveway yourself, break large pieces so they sit below the rim. We collect on the agreed window, weigh, and send clean asphalt for reuse as road base where the material allows. Contaminated or over-weight loads are the usual extra cost, so a quick photo of the pile before we arrive saves everyone time.
Technician insight
In Geelong, the thing that catches most people out with asphalt waste removal is how fast full-depth driveway slabs from clay-reactive sites in Belmont and Grovedale hit the weight limit. Homeowners book a big household bin then fill it with thick old mix and we cannot lift it safely. Break the pieces, keep it clean, and match the bin to density rather than volume.
Highton driveway tear-out on a narrow frontage
A homeowner had lifted, cracked asphalt from a 1970s brick-veneer driveway and had already booked a large light-waste bin. We found solid slabs mixed with concrete edging that would have overloaded the lift. We swapped to a shorter heavy bin, they broke the pieces and kept soil out, and we collected on the Saturday morning window without a failed lift or mixed-waste surcharge.

Pricing
Asphalt is dense, so price follows bin size plus actual weight and how clean the load is, not a flat household-waste rate. Smaller bins often suit full-depth slabs; millings can use a larger bin. Extra applies for mixed concrete, soil or over-weight lifts.
