 AI reviews summary 

Mobile Skips receives high praise for its convenient, trailer-based rubbish removal service, with users frequently highlighting the professionalism and punctuality of individual franchisees. The operation is noted for its efficiency, particularly the ability to place skips in tight driveways or on streets without council permits. While the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, there are specific warnings regarding strict weight limits and automated marketing communications.

Pros
Operational Convenience: The trailer-mounted design allows skips to be positioned in carports, narrow driveways, and on-street locations where traditional truck-delivered bins cannot fit, typically without requiring council permits.
Security Features: The inclusion of lockable lids is a highly valued feature, preventing unauthorised use by neighbours and securing the contents overnight.
Exceptional Communication: Staff and drivers are consistently praised for providing proactive updates, including ETA texts before delivery and collection, and for being flexible with scheduling.
Value-Added Services: The provision of complimentary gardening gloves and the option to include charity donation bags for recycling are frequently cited as thoughtful and practical additions to the service.
Cons
Weight Limit Charges: Multiple users flagged significant additional fees for exceeding weight limits, with some noting these charges are applied automatically to cards on file and can feel unexpected if the "small print" is not thoroughly reviewed.
Marketing Persistence: There is a reported difficulty in being removed from the company’s mailing list, with at least one user noting that direct requests to unsubscribe were not actioned.
Inconsistent Initial Booking: While the delivery is usually seamless, some users experienced technical issues or confusion during the online booking and payment process.
Verdict

Mobile Skips is an excellent choice for residential clean-outs where space is limited or street permits are a concern. To ensure a smooth experience, users should be diligent about weight limits and "fill lines" to avoid extra charges, but can otherwise expect highly professional, punctual, and communicative service.

5 Kat  · Couldn't be easier and we have a steep driveway! Punctual and efficient.
5 KIDDOS  · Always on time and never any hassle. I always contact Steve when I need a bin.
5 Andrew  · Delivery and pick-up were both on time and the skip was placed exactly where i wanted it. Hassell free service and a good price.
5 Nicole S  · Easy to use, great communication, reasonably priced, love the lockable lids and the drop off fill and take away approach
5 Pete  · Mobile Skips runs a slick operation, the skips (my second time) are well built. Can park on a street without getting Council approval. A good service.
5 Clive  · Richard from Mobile Skips provided great service and the Mobile skip is very convenient. Highly recommend these guys.

Jack was fantastic. The service of delivery and collection of skip is great. Ability to lock the skip is brilliant. Jack is likeable and helpful. I have no hesitation on using him again 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.

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

Absolutely fast, efficient and best service you can get. I requested a quote at 9am and the team (Nathan / Chris) rocked up at my door by midday on the same day. Reasonable pricing - $365 for 1 queen mattress, wooden bed frames, 1 heavy TV and a few minor items. Highly recommend to anyone who’s in the process of moving. Show reply

Excellent communication from start to finish. Cannot fault the team's customer service. The delivery and pick up was smooth and timely. I received a text from the delivery/pick up driver Miguel, before delivery, before pick up and after pick up. The bins are secured with lids and locks which provides extra security. Thanks Mobile Skips! Show reply

Chris Fulton and Mobile Skips were absolutely fantastic in the drop-off and pickup of the skip. He was flexible with timing of pick-up which was incredibly appreciated. The initiative to also offer to bring Vinnie's clothing bags is also such a thoughtful touch. A phenomenal company, service and experience - I will use them again in the future, and would highly recommend anyone to do the same. Show reply

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.

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. To the rescue: Mobile skips Qld. Found online 1am in morning, .Website explained everything simply ( great when stressed and no sleep) . Ordering and payment so simple… Read more ·  1

efficient ( i struggle with internet) . Delivery time set an name of driver as well. . Arrived on time and we were kept updated with notifications.( amazing when your under stress and everything falling apart. You don’t have time to call people) . Delivery guy friendly supportive and empathetic. . Skip on wheels so no damage to drive way and there for could have right next to house. . Held so much stuff. We got the 1000kg so worth it . Land lord turned up morning on leave date we promised that skip would be gone the next morning. . Received confirmation from mobile skip QLD skip picked up on time. .next day landlord approved release of bond.

Thank you mobile skip QLD for last minute rescue . A simple informative quick reliable friendly service. They rock thank you .

10/10 no stress rubbish collection. Easy to order, arrived and picked up on time. Friendly and professional service! Bin was perfect size for a general clean up of mostly indoor items. The lock on the bin lids was a nice addition - to prevent sneaky neighbours using it for themselves. The charity bags are also a great way to further recycle and minimise land fill. Show reply

High charges for small bins – Charge for bin hire is extremely excessive compared to other companies so I’d strongly recommend going elsewhere. I ordered 4 cubic metre bin which appeared tiny and half the size so you are limited to size of items you can dispose unlike the normal size bin. Also be aware they charge for overweight so all up charges are high. 4 cubic metre bin… Read more

with excess charges was $578 and that was after first time user discount applied. Never coming back

Bin didn't show up – I booked a bin for first thing in the morning and because it wasn’t going to arrive in the allocated time I requested for a discount as I only have 1 day to do the job but the owner Andrew Maher decided to cancel the job.

Its a skip, ruined by Bunnings – You see a skip on wheels and think - that's convenient. Then you discover its significantly more expensive than a normal skip, and you cant take it back it Bunnings when its full - they have to collect it. Why bother putting it on wheels then! I hired on a Sunday when i couldnt get a skip delivered. But if i got another skip - i'd wait until… Read more

Monday and get a normal skip.

Oh, and what will your rubbish weight? asks chap at the Bunnings Trade Counter? "Are you serious?... i have no idea"... would you say it was more or less than 16 wheely bins worth?

At this point i'll pause. There is a reason you cant buy paint in wheely bins - because its a meaningless measurement. I paid an extra $50 to get a 1T load (rather than the standard 500kg) because there is a penalty of $25 p/100kg if you're overweight.

Service and communication has been good... but at the end of the day i ended up paying an extra $100+ dollars for the convenience of a skip on wheels that spent a day and a half infront of my house once full pending pickup. Wont hire again.

Very happy with the service we received. The skip was dropped off and collected on time, and communication was excellent. The skip was as you'd expect - it had seen some action - but we had no problem unlocking or opening it up. The whole thing was easy and efficient. I would definitely recommend this service to others in the area. Show reply

Matt was friendly and prompt, the big bins with lids on wheels are secure, clean and can go anywhere. We did a big house and garden clean out with the skip driven under our carport into the drive.

The process was extremely convenient being able to pick up the skip bin immediately from Bunnings up the road from me.
