FAQs — Tip Runs in Melbourne
Common questions about using a trailer for tip runs.
What size trailer do I need for a tip run?▼
A 6x4 or 7x4 cage trailer handles most household tip loads. For renovation debris or large items, a 8x5 or bigger is worth the upgrade.
Can I put green waste in a hired trailer?▼
Yes — cage trailers are ideal for green waste. Just make sure to check if green waste needs to go to a specific bay at your transfer station, and clean any soil out of the trailer before return.
How do I find a transfer station near me?▼
Search your council website for the nearest resource recovery centre or transfer station. Most Australian metro councils have at least one facility within 20 minutes.
