When the weather warms up, many of us get stuck into backyard projects—landscaping, gardening, or cleaning out the shed. But these jobs often create more rubbish than expected. Rest assured that with the right planning, you can stay on top of the mess and keep your outdoor space clean and green.
Quick Summary
- Landscaping projects create heavy soil, turf, and green waste.
- Gardening clean-ups in summer mean branches, weeds, and clippings.
- Shed clean-outs generate bulky rubbish like timber, scrap, and tools.
- Hiring the right skip bin saves trips to the tip and keeps disposal clean.
- Budgeting ahead helps you choose the right bin size without overspending.
Landscaping Projects
Big landscaping jobs—like laying new turf, pulling up pavers, or removing old garden beds—generate a lot of heavy waste. Soil, rocks, branches, and offcuts can fill a bin fast.
How to manage it: Our landscape waste disposal service is designed for these projects. Choosing a larger skip, such as a 7m³ or 8m³ bin, gives you room for mixed green waste and heavier materials.
Gardening and Summer Yard Clean-Ups
With Perth’s summer sun, gardens grow quickly. Trimming hedges, cutting back trees, and pulling weeds are common jobs that produce piles of clippings and branches.
How to manage it: Hiring a bin for seasonal garden jobs makes disposal simple. Our green waste disposal service ensures everything is handled in an environmentally conscious way. For most summer garden projects, a 4m³ or 6m³ skip is ideal.
For more detail, see our guide on types of garden waste and how to dispose of them.
Shed and Garage Clean-Outs
Cleaning out an old shed or garage often reveals years of stored junk—rusted tools, broken furniture, scrap timber, or metal parts. These items can quickly pile up and are awkward to fit in your council bin.
How to manage it: A mixed waste skip is best for shed and garage rubbish. Depending on the amount, you may only need a 2m³ mini skip for small clear-outs, or up to a 10m³ bin for larger garages.

How to Budget for Rubbish Disposal
One of the most common mistakes DIYers make is underestimating how much waste they’ll create. Hiring a bin too small leads to overflow, while going too big wastes money.
- Estimate waste volume in cubic metres.
- Match your project type to the right bin size using our bin size guide.
- Allow a little extra space so you don’t risk overfilling.
- Factor in hire duration—Backyard Bins offers flexible hire periods, so you won’t be charged unfairly if your project runs longer than expected.
Fairness is essential to our company. You’ll always get the right bin at a fair price, with no hidden extras.
Keep Safety in Mind
Some waste can be hazardous if not handled correctly. Old chemicals, paints, and sharp items are common in shed clean-outs and should be managed with care. For guidance, see our blog on hidden hazards in household waste.
