After a southerly buster or a winter front rolls in off the water, Geelong yards fill fast with mixed storm waste that does not belong in a regular household bin. Fallen limbs from established gums in Highton and Newtown, smashed terracotta and Colorbond from older roofs in Geelong West and Belmont, and sodden carpet or plaster from leaky eaves all need a dedicated skip. We place bins on driveways and nature strips across Geelong and surrounds, including Corio, Lara and Leopold, so you can load as you go rather than stacking wet debris against the house. Mixed loads are common; we talk through what can share a bin so you are not paying twice for a second drop.
Older weatherboard and brick-veneer stock around Geelong CBD and Newtown often sheds tiles and guttering in one hit, while newer estates in Grovedale and Armstrong Creek tend to lose fencing and lightweight sheds. Clay soils in parts of the Geelong area hold water after heavy rain, so a full skip can sit heavier than it looks and needs a firm pad or boards under the wheels. We flag that on delivery so you are not left with ruts or a stuck bin. Hours run Monday to Friday 8am–6pm and Saturday 9am–2pm from our Geelong 3220 base, which covers most post-storm call-outs before the next front arrives.
Do not mix treated pine, asbestos-suspect fibro from pre-1990s outbuildings, or chemical containers with green waste—those streams need separate handling. Storm-soaked plasterboard and insulation add weight quickly; overfilling past the rim is unsafe on Geelong’s windy days and can delay pickup. If you are clearing a whole roof or a large tree, say so up front so we send a size that matches the volume rather than a too-small bin that fills on the first load. We keep quotes upfront and the workmanship of the placement something you can see before you start filling.
Technician insight
In Geelong, the thing that catches most people out with storm damage skip hire is how fast wet plaster and clay-heavy soil add weight after a Bass Strait front. Homeowners in Newtown and Highton often book a small bin then fill it with soaked carpet and limbs, so the skip sits too heavy on a soft nature strip. Say if the load is wet and mixed before we come, and we will pad the drop and size up rather than leaving you with a stuck bin.
Wind-stripped roof in Belmont
A Belmont weatherboard lost a run of terracotta and guttering in a southerly. We found mixed tiles, timber and wet insulation stacked against the fence on clay that had already puddled. We placed a standard skip on boards off the driveway, talked through keeping fibro out of the load, and collected once the roof was sheeted. The yard was clear for the next trade without a second bin.

Fill during our hours; keep mixed streams legal and do not heap past the sides in Geelong wind.
