Which CUBIE size should I choose?

Choose your CUBIE based on the type of waste, not just how much you have.

Choose CUBIE1 for heavy waste

CUBIE1 is designed for dense materials where weight matters more than volume.

Dimensions: 1 m × 1 m × 1 m (1 cubic metre)

Maximum weight: 1,000 kg

Best for: soil, bricks, concrete, rubble, and mixed heavy waste

Capacity guide: roughly 7 standard council red-lid bins (140 L each) or 1.5 standard 6×4 trailer loads

Customer insight: Over 95% of customers stay within the 1,000 kg limit

Choose CUBIE3 for bulky, lightweight waste

CUBIE3 is designed for larger volumes of lighter materials.

Dimensions: 2.1 m × 1.5 m × 1 m (approximately 3 cubic metres)

Maximum weight: 1,000 kg

Best for: household junk, green waste, furniture, and renovation debris

Capacity guide: roughly 21 standard council red-lid bins (140 L each) or 4.5 standard 6×4 trailer loads

Customer insight: Over 95% of customers stay within the 1,000 kg limit

Important weight information

Both CUBIE sizes have a maximum weight limit of 1,000 kg

Loads exceeding this limit incur a surcharge of $45 per additional 100 kg

Important restriction

If you are unsure which CUBIE size is right for your project, contact our team for guidance before ordering.

Does the CUBIE suit small jobs?

Yes. CUBIE is ideal for small clean-ups where a traditional metal skip bin isn’t necessary or practical.

CUBIE is designed for projects like small renovations, garden clean-ups, garage clear-outs, and DIY jobs where space is limited and flexibility matters. The bag can be placed on private property, filled over time, and collected when you’re ready.

CUBIE is available in two sizes, so you can choose the option that best matches the scale and type of waste for your job.

What is a skip bag?

A skip bag is a flexible waste container that provides an alternative to traditional metal skip bins, particularly for small to medium clean-ups where space, flexibility, and timing matter.

Skip bags are delivered flat-packed, placed on private property, filled at your own pace, and collected when ready.

Key benefits of skip bags

Durable: Lightweight but made from heavy-duty materials designed to hold construction, household, and garden waste

Easy setup: Delivered flat-packed and simple to position

Flexible timing: No hire window pressure — fill the bag over days or weeks

Convenient delivery: Can be delivered without you needing to be onsite

Surface protection: Less likely to damage driveways, lawns, or paving

Low visual impact: Neater and less obtrusive than metal skips

Space efficient: Suitable for tight or restricted areas

Easy loading: Wheelbarrow-friendly access

Reusable presence: Can be stored and used when needed

Skip bags are commonly chosen by homeowners, renovators, and trades who want a simpler, more flexible way to manage waste without the disruption of a traditional skip bin.

Where will my waste go?

CUBIE operates within Australia’s regulated waste management system and aims to minimise landfill wherever possible.

After collection, your waste is transported to licensed and accredited waste and recycling facilities. At these facilities, materials are assessed and processed so that recyclable and recoverable waste streams are diverted from landfill whenever possible. The exact outcome depends on the type and condition of the waste.

CUBIE works with approved operators to ensure waste is handled safely, legally, and responsibly.

CUBIE rebates

Sorting your waste into separate CUBIEs by material type makes recycling more efficient and reduces disposal costs. Where lower-cost recycling streams apply, CUBIE passes these savings back to you as a rebate.

This means you can save money while supporting better recycling outcomes.

Examples of rebate-eligible waste streams

Clean straight brick
Clean segregated concrete (under 500 mm)
Brick and concrete
Mixed heavy waste (brick, concrete, asphalt, sand, soil)
VENM-certified material (sand, soil, clay, shale, sandstone)
Garden waste (no stumps)
Clean gyprock (no horse hair plaster)
Untreated wood

Rebates depend on material condition and compliance with recycling requirements.

If you would like guidance on how to sort waste, which streams qualify, or how to claim a rebate, please contact the CUBIE team before booking or pickup.

What can I use a CUBIE for?

CUBIE is suitable for a wide range of residential, renovation, and light construction clean-ups. It is designed to handle common waste types generated during home projects, DIY work, and property maintenance.

Common uses for CUBIE include:

DIY projects and home improvements
Demolition and renovation waste
Construction and building waste
General household clean-outs
Garden and green waste
Kitchen renovations
Bathroom remodels
Flooring replacements
Pre-move and end-of-lease clean-ups
Spring cleaning projects
Moving house
Property renovations and house flipping

CUBIE provides a flexible, space-efficient alternative to traditional skip bins, allowing waste to be collected when your project is complete.

How does the pricing work?

Buy one or more CUBIE bags and then only pay for collection when you are ready. Our pickup service includes the disposal cost which is based on the size of your CUBIE.

Both CUBIE1 and CUBIE3 bags include maximum weight limits. If you happen to go over these limits a charge of $45 per 100KG over the combined bag limit will be incurred.

Bag pricing assumes that each CUBIE purchased will ultimately be collected through our service. In rare situations where it appears a bag is being purchased with no intention of future collection, we may decline delivery. This helps ensure fair use of the service and keeps pricing simple for everyone.

CUBIE rebates

When you sort waste into separate CUBIEs - like keeping bricks and concrete separate from garden waste - it makes recycling easier and more efficient. This reduces disposal costs, and we pass those savings back to you as a rebate. It's a simple way to save money while supporting smarter waste management.

Rebate streams

Clean straight brick
Clean segregated concrete
Brick and concrete
Mixed heavy (brick, concrete, masonry)
VENM certified (sand, soil)
Garden (no stumps)

Please contact us for more information on how to claim your rebate.

All fees listed on the website include GST.

How do I pay?

We offer all major payment options including VISA, Mastercard and Amex.

What if I want a refund?

We offer a full refund for unused CUBIE bags within 14 days of purchase.

If you have requested collection and then cancel, we are able to offer a full refund unless the driver is already on their way to your location.

If our driver is unable to pick up your CUBIE due to non-compliance (e.g. placement, prohibited materials, excess weight), we will contact you to discuss secondary collection options.

Please contact us for assistance.

How will I receive the CUBIE?

Your CUBIE will be delivered by a courier, and you don't need to be present to receive it.

Do I need a council permit?

How do I set up the CUBIE bag?

Setting up your CUBIE bag is easy:

1. Unfold the flatpacked CUBIE bag to ensure it takes shape properly

2. Ensure the base of the bag is flat and well-aligned on a stable surface for stability and safety.

3. Begin by rolling the sides of the bag down outwards to keep them upright. As you fill the bag, gradually roll the sides back up.

4. The bag includes a drawstring cover to secure its contents. While filling, it's best to keep this cover folded down over the outside of the bag.

5. To prepare the bag for collection, close the drawstring cover securely.

How do I fill the CUBIE?

To properly fill your CUBIE:

1. Ensure all waste remains below the upper edge of the CUBIE. This allows the drawstring cover to securely close and keeps the bag safe for transport.

2. Do not place any prohibited waste in the bag to ensure compliance with guidelines.

This method helps optimise safety and efficiency when using your CUBIE.

How will the CUBIE be picked up?

The CUBIE will typically be picked up using a crane truck.

In cases where this is not feasible, alternative methods will be used to complete the collection.

When will you collect the CUBIE?

If you request collection by 4:00pm, we will generally pick up your CUBIE the next day (excluding weekends and public holidays).

How do I request collection?

When you're ready, simply tie up the bag using the drawstring and request collection either through our website or by contacting us directly.

If you request collection by 4:00pm, we will generally pick up your CUBIE the next day (excluding public holidays).

Do I need to be present during collection?

No, you do not need to be present at the property when our drivers pick up your CUBIE.

If you have any special instructions, please include them when submitting your collection request.

Do you collect from any area in Australia?

We service suburbs in Sydney.

Can I cancel or reschedule a collection request?

Yes, it may be possible.

What can I do to make the collection smooth and easy?

There are a few things you can do to help ensure that the collection of your CUBIE runs smoothly:
