Fence posts, palings, rails and mesh generate a mix of timber, metal and concrete that does not belong in a regular household bin. In Geelong and surrounds we drop a skip at the kerb or on-site so you can load as you pull the old fence, then we take the load away during our weekday or Saturday hours. Mixed fence waste is heavier than it looks once you add broken concrete footings and rusty wire, so choosing the right bin size up front avoids a second trip or overfill fees.
Colorbond sheets and steel posts nest differently from treated pine palings. Sheets can be stacked flat to save space; timber with nails still in it needs more volume and can snag liners. We see plenty of jobs where the last metre of fence sits against a neighbour’s boundary or a driveway crossover in Geelong, so placement has to leave enough room for the truck to lift without blocking traffic. Tell us what the fence is made of and how many linear metres you are pulling so we can match the bin rather than guess.
Concrete around posts is the part most people underestimate. Even a modest run of palings can leave several barrow-loads of broken footing that fill a small skip fast. If you are also taking out a gate or lattice, that extra timber and hardware should be counted in the same load. We work Monday to Friday 8am–6pm and Saturday 9am–2pm from Geelong, Vic 3220, so you can book a drop that lines up with when the demolition crew or you are actually on site.
Technician insight
In Geelong the thing that catches most people out with fence removal waste is the concrete around the posts. A run that looks like it will fit a small bin fills up once you barrow the broken footings in, especially on older blocks where posts were set deep. Stack Colorbond flat and keep timber level with the rim so we can lift without a second visit.
Boundary palings plus footings on a Geelong block
A homeowner was pulling a timber boundary fence and assumed a small skip would do. Once the posts came out, the broken concrete filled the bin faster than the palings. We swapped to a larger size on the next drop during Saturday hours, they finished loading level, and we collected without an overfill issue.
