What waste does a garage cleanout produce?

Garage clutter is general waste — timber, boxes, old furniture and general junk. A general-waste bin suits most garage clean-outs. Take special care with chemicals, oils and paints, which are never accepted.

What goes in the skip

  • Timber, offcuts and old shelving
  • Boxes, packaging and paper
  • Old furniture and general junk
  • Bikes, tools and non-gas items
  • Light garden and green waste

What size skip do you need?

Most garage clean-outs suit a 3m³–4m³ skip; a double garage or workshop clear-out may need a 6m³ bin. See the skip sizes guide or the 3m³ skip page for details.

Important — what's never accepted

Garages often store paints, oils, fuels, chemicals, gas bottles and batteries — these are never accepted in a skip. Dispose of them through your council's chemical, oil and e-waste programs. Hazardous items such as asbestos, chemicals, paints, gas bottles and batteries are never accepted in any skip bin — if prohibited items are found after collection, contamination and disposal fees will be charged and the load may be rejected. See the waste categories guide.
