Hire Skip

I thought I was using a local supplier as they falsely advertised my area. Same day delivery. So I booked online. Waiting , waiting , after lunch time , I call. No answer . I call again , they say they’ll let me know within the hour . At 4.35pm on Friday afternoon, they tell me they can’t find anyone to take on my request. They’re not even based… Read more
where I live, they’re in Sydney. So I plan for 3 days to use bin, now , no bin, maybe Monday. I email to say forget it , cancel it and refund me. I then call a local guy and delivers same day as advertised, not like these guys. Hopeless, waiting on my refund.
Difficult to communicate with and they do not let you know the skip hire business that they select to provide your skip bin. No communication… Read more
regarding time of delivery and time of collection.
I upgraded my order of a 2 cubic metre bin to a 3 cubic metre bin. A 2 cubic metre bin was delivered and I was charged $60 extra for the upgrade that did not happen.
Avoid this web service and deal directly with a local skip hire business.
CLEAN FUTURE MANAGEMENT PTY LTD trading as Hire Skip Solutions,
Follow-up · - Bin size was way too small - Bin was collected, after a hurry-up ‘phone call - Delivery communication was non-existent. No communication from the bin company.
Follow-up · - No ‘phone number on the bin - No size marked on the bin
DO NOT USE, absolutely hopeless. Ordered a skip bin for a deceased estate and told it would be delivered today, i got told at 1.44 that they wouldn’t be delivered so i called them 16 times at once and not one answer. Got a call back at 3.15 to be told i can have a refund. Do not waste your money with this company, they are pretty much the in… Read more
between people for company’s.
Unfortunately when i searched up skip bins in my area they came up with my suburb name and said next day delivery which is not true.
Ordered and paid online never received a confirmation email but the money came out of my account. I contact them they are not very helpful at all and a few hours later I get a confirmation email for delivery the next day now. I accept as I have already paid and am vacating so time is tight. Again it didn’t arrive so I contacted them again. They… Read more
don’t answer my calls or emails all day and then at 10 pm sent an email asking me to confirm I had received the bin. I start trying to contact them again in the morning still no response so I organised another one. I continue emailing and calling to try and cancel now still no response I called off my sisters phone and he called her back within minutes. Would not recommend at all I was calling and emailing him and the company he was actually sending the bin from and nobody would respond at all until they thought I was more money.
I believe they don't actually own any skips but purely work as a broker for skips. Poor communication and had to chase them up several times. Mostly unanswered calls and took a while to finally talk to them. I put payment on hold with PayPal until skip finally arrived. Received an addition bill for fuel surcharge but decided to hold off on paying… Read more
it. Not sure if it was legal to send an additional bill after paying for the original quote anyway. Skip arrived from a local skip company. They were great to deal with and there was no surcharge for fuel. I informed Hire Skip of this, but no response. Obviously, a rip off tactic they use to get extra money from uninformed customers. Stay away from these guys, find a local and deal direct.
11 days and still waiting for someone to collect our bin….. communication via phone & emails is hopeless. They continue to say we don’t know
Initially booked online then advised bin couldn't bed delivered. Agreed for delivery 3 days later. All good. Then as per agreement it was to be picked up on a certain day. After 4 days, email,SMS and numerous phone calls I was left with a bin on my lawn effectively leaving me unable to use/work in my yard. No responses, no return phone calls very… Read more
annoying. I had to locate and call the contractor myself to get the bin removed. Do not go with this 'middle man' and save yourself the hassle. No apology received. No contact received. Very bad customer service.
Steer clear! I booked a skip in advance through this company on a Wednesday for Friday drop off. They take your money on booking ($516 for a 4m3 skip). Expensive but hey I needed the skip for Friday as had that day off + weekend to clear up my yard before returning to work. Friday comes - no skip by 2pm so I ring to check in as to when it will… Read more
arrive. Get through to someone who says it's being managed by someone else and would I like to be transferred. Yes, I said. (Obviously). Wait a while and lady returns to say no one is answering but they will have them call me back within about 5 minutes. By 4pm still no call or skip so I try calling again - this time I only get voicemail so I leave a message. Then I also email following up my skip.
Wake Saturday to a Friday evening email saying sorry we haven't been able to secure a provider for your skip yet but have one more we are waiting to hear back from. Sorry for the incovenience. I wait half of Saturday before trying to call again - 3 attempts to both numbers provided, no answer. So, I write another email requesting an update and solution - give me a different skip size or two smaller ones or refund my money and compensate me for the stuff around. Radio silence all day Saturday.
That evening, I manage to book a skip locally (via Word of mouth referral) not until a few days later which is super frustrating but at least they communciated back and forth and were up front about availability. This new company skip (same size) only costs $280 cash and they also don't ask for your money until it's delivered.
I did get an email Sunday from Hire.Skip.com.au saying my money would be refunded in a few busienss days and the skip had been cancelled. There was a cut and paste apology included but no compensation.
This is despicable servcie. POOR COMMUNICATION, impossible to reach them in a timely manner CHARGING FOR A SERVICE BEFORE IT'S CONFIRMED should not be legal. APOLOGY was half hearted and compensation should have been provided - even if it was by way of a voucher.

I booked a skip bin through hireskip.com.au with a clear agreement that the bin would be picked up after 12 January. Despite this, the bin was collected empty on 28 December, weeks earlier than agreed. When I contacted HireSkip to resolve the issue, they were completely unhelpful and ignored my calls. No accountability, no solution, and no… Read more
customer support. This caused major inconvenience and shows a total lack of professionalism. I would strongly recommend avoiding this company and using a more reliable skip bin service.
Worst company i have ever dealt with. Do not use. Skip did not show up, then cancelled order and promised refund. It has been over a month now and I'm still waiting. Use these guys at your peril.
Would give 0 if I could, I have never come across a company with such horrible communication, they don't answer their phone, pretty sure they blocked my number and they don't reply to my emails And when they do reply its like they haven't read what I wrote or what they originally wrote as they contradict each other I still don't know when my bin will be getting collected because they won't tell me, they just lie and lie and lie
I ordered through this company for a clients house i have been working on. I have been waiting 19 days for a skip bin to be picked up after collection date and still counting!! Contacted 3 times to have bin removed. My client is refusing to pay until its picked up.
Fast and reliable! Good customer service. Highly recommend. Would definitely use again.
If I could go with zero stars, I would! I hired a bin a week ago for delivery the following week. I received an email confirmation for the dates requested. Onthe day of expected delivery, the bin had not arrived. I tried calling on the number listed in the confirmation email and was re-directed to custmer service and then instantly a recording… Read more
advising the call could not be taken right now. I emailed and left messages and still no response. In the meantime I have contractors waiting to commence the demolition work and cannot proceed as there is no where to leave the debri. Of course this means I have other trades who are also unable to commence their work too. A major inconvenience all round. I will never suggest this company to anyone or book them again myself. Total lack of communication and absolutely zero empathy for their customers.
