Concrete and brick waste is a different job to household mixed rubbish. In Geelong, Vic 3220, a lot of it comes off older brick veneer and solid masonry homes—driveway slabs, paths, chimneys, garden walls and leftover pavers. That material is dense. A skip that looks half full can already be at legal road weight, so we size the bin for mass, not just volume, and we keep the load to masonry only so it can go to the right recycling stream rather than general landfill.
Access matters as much as the bin size. Many streets in inner Geelong and the surrounds have narrow nature strips, parked cars and low power lines. We need a firm, level drop zone the truck can reverse onto without chewing up the verge or blocking a neighbour’s driveway. Wet clay after rain makes that worse: a loaded masonry skip can sink, so we talk through placement before we book rather than guessing on the day.
Do not mix timber, plaster, soil or green waste into a concrete-and-brick skip. Contaminated loads get rejected or reclassified, which costs more and delays the empty. Clean brick and concrete can usually be crushed and reused; mixed junk cannot. If you are knocking out a small slab plus a timber deck, you need two streams, not one overloaded bin. We will tell you that up front rather than surprise you at pickup.
We operate Monday to Friday 8am–6pm and Saturday 9am–2pm from Geelong, Vic 3220. Same-day or next-day drops are often possible when the truck run allows, but heavy bins still need a clear window for delivery and collection. If council permits are needed for an on-street placement, that is your responsibility—we will flag it when the site looks like it sits on the nature strip rather than private driveway.
Technician insight
In Geelong, the thing that catches most people out with concrete and brick skip hire is underestimating weight on older brick veneer and masonry jobs—especially inner suburbs with narrow drives. A skip that looks half empty can already be at legal road mass, and wet clay after rain will let a loaded bin sink into the verge. Keep it masonry-only and leave room at the rim; if the pile is denser than you thought, we would rather swap the bin than drag an overloaded skip off a soft nature strip.
Broken driveway slab on a tight inner-Geelong block
A homeowner had a cracked concrete driveway and leftover brick from a garden wall, with cars parked along a narrow street. We found the pile was almost all clean masonry but the only drop zone sat on a soft verge after rain. We used a smaller heavy bin on the driveway instead of the nature strip, kept timber out of the load, and collected once the slab was broken small enough to sit below the rim. The skip came off without rutting the verge and the masonry went as recyclable rubble.

Concrete and Brick Skip Hire Cost in Geelong, VIC
| Service | Typical Range | What Affects It |
|---|---|---|
| Small heavy rubble skip (tight sites) | $220–$380 | Shorter hire, limited volume; weight still caps how much slab you can load. |
| Standard concrete/brick skip | $280–$480 | Most driveway and wall jobs; contamination or extra days lift the price. |
| Larger masonry skip | $380–$650 | Bigger slabs; access, crane-truck needs and full-weight loads move the range. |
| Contaminated or mixed load surcharge | $80–$250+ | Timber, soil or household waste in a masonry bin can force reclassification. |
| Extra hire days | $20–$50 per day | Depends on bin size and how long it sits on a Geelong street or driveway. |

How it works
- 1
Describe The Waste
Tell us whether it is clean concrete, brick, or mixed masonry, roughly how much, and whether soil or other materials are in the pile.
- 2
Check Access And Placement
We confirm driveway or nature-strip space, overhead wires and a firm pad so a heavy skip will not sink or block neighbours.
- 3
Drop The Right Bin
We deliver in our weekday or Saturday window, leave it level, and remind you what must stay out of a masonry-only load.
- 4
Fill Within Weight
Load below the rim, keep it masonry-only, and call us if the pile is denser than you thought so we can swap rather than overload.
- 5
Collect And Recycle
We pick up in the booked window and send clean concrete and brick to the appropriate recycling stream.
Pricing
Heavy masonry costs more to cart than light household waste because of weight and recycling handling. Price moves with bin size, how clean the load is, access, hire length and whether we can recycle it as brick and concrete. We quote before we drop the bin—no invented ‘from’ figures on the phone.
