Pros
Verdict
Mobile Skips delivers a highly convenient and efficient rubbish removal service, backed by strong customer communication and punctuality from local operators. The trailer-mounted skips offer superior placement flexibility compared to traditional bins, while lockable lids provide added security. Overall, the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with numerous customers indicating they would gladly use the service again.
Quick and easy to book and on par with other skip bins pricing, but much easier to have a skip on wheels. Great communication skip was delivered early and promptly picked up. Will definitely use again.
What a great company. Brian was reliable, showed up when he said he would, communicated and very reasonably priced. If we ever need skip hire again, Brian will be our first point of call. Thanks Brian Show reply
Fantastic service. Excellent communication - including a really helpful chat about the likely weight of our rubbish pile. Helped us plan how we were going to deal with it! Show reply

Easy pick up for the skip bin trailer from Bunnings and real easy to back into location for our shed clean up. Also bin pick up also was simple. A great service for house / yard clean-up. Show reply
My skip was delivered so I had it for the long weekend to clean up before a move. Brian was great to deal with communicating before drop off and pick up. The process to book was so easy. Parking it in my garage was great and meant it was safe from scavengers and kept it out of the way. I filled it up and the process was so very satisfying. 5 stars for the team and the process. Do it. So much better than tip runs and other nonsense. Show reply
Price was very reasonable, and very easy to order skip online. Mobile Skip arrived early and it was placed perfectly outside our property. Completely stress-free experience. Thanks Richard!! Show reply
So easy to organise. Arrived on time. Contacted directly prior to pick up. Can’t fault the service. Show reply
Super easy to organise, on time, lockable & great that it can be parked inside the property Show reply
I could not recommend mobile skips more highly. We had a tricky situation where we could not fit a traditional skip in the driveway so needed it parked on the street. The booking system was easy. It turned up when we asked for it and it was picked up on time. We received text communications to keep us up to date with the skip status. I loved… Read more · 1
the security with the lock on the lid so we hand no problems with neighbours adding to our skip under darkness if night. Overall, professional, reliable and good value for money.
Fantastic service, easy delivery and pick up. Nathan was extremely helpful, so much so that we have ordered another skip for this weekend. Show 3 replies

Absolutely perfect for what I needed. Communication was excellent from time of booking through drop off and pick up. They were unable to meet my initial drop off time however they were good a resolving a new time and service was excellent. I will happily use this service again - the free gloves was a nice touch for a first time booker! Show details · 1

Follow-up · Convenience was with the online booking process getting a quote, booking a date and paying no need to wait on quotes or call this guy on this number etc. after booking they then texted me Chris’s number who let me know his specific eta which was appreciated so we could secure our dogs and get the yard ready for the skip.

In-depth reviews
Not recommended. Expensive, only suitable for light rubbish. Avoid for anything heavy – Lockable skips and free pick up / delivery (even though you’re able to tow the skips yourself) are good perks. Weight limit is a serious issue though. I originally booked a "heavy" skip via the Bunnings website for $460. Mobile Skips contacted me the next day to say that the Bunnings website was 'mistakenly' displaying the WA price so I had to… Read more
cancel the order and book direct with Mobile Skips for $530 instead - already pretty pricey.
Then came the overweight issue (my load apparently came in at 800kg over the limit), which ended up costing me another $300 - the "cheapest" solution according to the manager. It was also nearly a week after pick up before I was advised of the additional cost - this was 3-4 days after I'd been sent messages saying my waste had been "disposed of responsibly" (messages which led me to believe everything had been dealt with and resolved).
All up nearly $850 to dispose of 1800kg of timber, rubble and soil!
When booking, the only available options are 500kg (medium) and 1000kg (heavy), but you’re given a 4 cubic metre skip no matter what option you pick. A 4 cubic metre skip holds a lot more than 1000kg (as I've now learned the hard way), so it’s incredibly easy to exceed your weight capacity without knowing it. 500kg and 1000kg really ought to be labelled "light" and "medium", not medium and heavy.
You can find estimates of what you can put in a 1000kg skip on the Mobile Skips website, but this info isn't at all obvious when booking via Bunnings (if Mobile Skips are going to partner with organisations, they need to ensure their messaging is consistent). I also had conversations with two people from Mobile Skips during booking and drop off, and neither brought this issue up as something to be cautious of.
I'd be extremely cautious about ever using Mobile Skips again. Cost me nearly 3 times what it would've with an open skip.
Good learning experience for me at least.
Best rubbish removal company out there! – Absolutely the best rubbish removal service you could ask for using Mobile Skips! This is the second round using them (first time was back est 6-8 years ago when lived in Dee Why at home) - so note the long standing service! I will be using them again 10000%. The service is incomparable to any others I’ve used prior (in every aspect) -… Read more · 1
highlighting the cost comparison and effort it takes if you were to do multiple trips yourself to the tip ( a costly and stressful time consuming mistake we made previously). The website and booking is so simple, informative and communication is top tier and so quick. Chris F is an absolute legend and a blessing for helping us out from end to end, I couldn’t speak more highly of the whole deal. So efficient, friendly, and all the stress was removed. Having a 5 month old Bub and a husband that works long hours - the skip hire was a no brainer. Better still is that you dont have to have a driveway or have the skip parked on your lawn (which we had neither available, as pictured) - they come on a registered trailer and can be parked on the street! Can’t wait to use them again and have already been telling everyone in ear shot to keep Mobile Skips in mind and back pocket for next move and to consider starting the new year off with a cleanse / clear up. Thanks again Chris F - actual life saver.
Last minute rescue – Desperate for a skip during moving homes we had underestimated the junk we had. We had 12hrs to get everything cleaned and removed or lose the bond. Could not get a skip in time.

I messed up and ordered for the day after I needed the bin. Without hesitation, Will got a bin to me as soon as possible on the day I wanted. Great size bin. I filled it that afternoon and he collected the next day. Great customer service. Side note, I was quoted $1162 for a company ( won't name them) to send 2 people to remove the rubbish that… Read more · 1
we (2 non "professionals") did in 2 hours including the clean up!! 125sqm of ceiling, insulation and aluminium strapping,,, I will 100% use mobile skips again
Great service from Steve and the mobile skip bin team. Delivered on time, fitted in the carport perfectly and provided great rates when we asked to extend the hire. No damage to my lawn or driveway that you usual get from the normal skips bins delivered. Show reply
Thanks Richard and Mobile Skips. We used the skip for a school fete and everything was exactly as promised. Will continue to use these guys again and again. Thanks! Show reply

Careful not to fill the skip, or else you may get an extra sizable charge for going over weight. It's in the small print they say. Also... I wish they would take me off their mailing list. I emailed them requesting this but they won't do it, so now I have more junk mail in perpetuity.
Follow-up · The increase was from $560 to $736 for being 280kg over weight. So if you fill the bin like I did you may get charged extra. I have used fixed price bins ever since.
Only to be used if you get rid of lightweight waste, not worth it for brick or concrete disposal.
This franchise owner was an absolute fraud. I booked a small skip online, it wouldn’t accept payment, so the operator called me. She took my credit card details supposedly on a secure line and I didn’t know they would store them on their system. Then on the morning of pickup I get a notification from my bank an extra $120 has been charged to my… Read more
credit card. An hour later I get a text from this franchise owner saying oh your bun was very full I had to charge you more. I never authorised it, there was no line on the bin saying where to fill to and in fact I was never told by the operator I could only fill it a certain amount. I text the franchise owner and he was so rude and the operator said he should have asked before charging my card. So many issues, they jelly my card on file without my authority, they never told me I could only fill a certain amount (very deceptive advertising as it was less expensive than other skips but they clearly do this knowing they will then charge you more!) and the owner was so rude. I asked them to refund my card as I never authorized this and got no reply. Do not use this company they are terrible.
