Knocking down a weatherboard cottage in Newtown or a 1960s brick veneer in Belmont produces mixed loads that do not belong in a general household skip. Plaster, tiles, timber framing, bricks and concrete all travel together, and the weight and contamination rules at Geelong-area transfer stations decide what we can accept. We place bins on-site so you can load as you go rather than stockpiling on the nature strip. Access on older inner-Geelong streets is often tight; we talk through driveway width and overhead wires before delivery so the truck can actually get in.
Older Geelong housing stock—period homes around East Geelong and Geelong West, plus post-war builds toward Corio—often hides mixed materials in one wall. That means you cannot assume a ‘clean’ brick load. We treat demolition waste as mixed unless you have already separated it, because a single load of plaster or treated timber can change the disposal path. Wet winter days make soil and rubble heavier; we factor that in when recommending bin size so you are not paying for extra weight you did not expect.
If you are stripping a kitchen or bathroom as part of a larger demo, keep hazardous items out of the skip. We do not take asbestos, chemicals or tyres. For everything else—rubble, timber offcuts, plasterboard and fixtures—we supply the bin, collect on the agreed window, and take it to the appropriate facility serving the Geelong area. Hours are Mon–Fri 8am–6pm and Sat 9am–2pm so weekend knock-downs can still get a lift on Saturday morning.
Technician insight
In Geelong, the thing that catches most people out with demolition waste removal is assuming an old weatherboard or brick veneer will give you a ‘clean’ load. Period homes in Newtown and Geelong West and 1950s–70s stock toward Belmont mix plaster, timber and brick in the same wall, and wet winter soil stuck to footings adds weight you did not budget for. Separate what you can on site; mixed loads cost more at the gate and we cannot take asbestos or chemicals.
Rear lean-to strip in East Geelong
A homeowner was removing a dilapidated rear lean-to and expected a light timber load. We found mixed plaster, tiles and brick piers plus wet soil from the footings. We placed a mixed demolition bin that could take the combined waste, collected once the structure was down, and left the block clear without a second truck run.
Demolition Waste Removal Services We Offer
✓Mixed Demolition Skip Bins
One bin for plaster, timber, bricks and tiles from a full or partial knock-down so you are not running multiple loads across Geelong.
✓Brick and Masonry Rubble Bins
Heavier loads of brick, concrete and tiles from chimneys, paths and walls, sized for the weight limits that apply at local disposal sites.
✓Timber Framing and Fit-Out Waste
Bins for studs, floorboards and cabinetry from weatherboard cottages and renovations in Newtown and Geelong West.
✓Plasterboard and Internal Strip-Out
Dedicated space for gyprock, cornice and linings so mixed demolition stays within what transfer stations will take.
✓Site Clean-Up After Demolition
Final sweep bins once the structure is down, so leftover rubble and offcuts leave the block in Geelong and surrounds.
✓Partial Knock-Down and Extension Waste
Smaller or mid-size skips when you are only removing a rear lean-to or garage rather than the whole house.

How it works
- 1
Confirm The Load Type
Tell us whether the waste is mixed demolition, mostly masonry, or mostly timber so we match bin size and disposal path for Geelong-area facilities.
- 2
Check Access And Placement
We confirm driveway width, overhead wires and street parking typical of inner Geelong streets before the truck arrives.
- 3
Deliver The Bin
Bin dropped on the agreed day within Mon–Fri 8am–6pm or Sat 9am–2pm so your crew can load as demolition proceeds.
- 4
Collect When Full
You call when the bin is ready; we lift it and take mixed demolition waste to the appropriate local facility.
Pricing
Price depends on bin size, how mixed the load is, and weight. Mixed demolition usually costs more than a clean brick load because of sorting and disposal. We give an upfront range once we know the job, not a surprise at pickup.
