Core offering

Mobile Skips is an Australian skip bin hire company that rents trailer-mounted, road-registered mobile skip bins delivered to customers' doorsteps within 3 hours of booking. The company offers 4 cubic metre skip bins in Standard (500kg) and Heavy (1000kg) variants, plus on-demand rubbish collection services, operating across 10+ Australian cities via a franchise network and national Bunnings Warehouse pickup partnership.

Product overview

Mobile Skips is a skip bin hire company operating a fleet of trailer-mounted, road-registered mobile skip bins across Australia. The core product line consists of two variants of its 4 cubic metre Mobile Skip: a Standard model (500kg waste limit) for general household cleanups, and a Heavy model (1000kg waste limit) for builder's waste including bricks, concrete, and soil. Both skip types feature lockable lids, permit-free parking, and 3-hour same-day delivery. An additional Rubbish Collection service provides on-demand pickup for smaller volumes of loose waste. Customers can book via the website, the Bunnings Warehouse pickup channel, or by phone.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Junk King: Large North American junk removal and mini-dumpster franchise brand serving residential and commercial customers on demand. Comparable on-demand waste collection model and franchise-led scale, though US-focused and broader in service mix.
• Cleanaway Waste Management: Australia's largest listed waste management company, offering skip bin hire, commercial waste collection, recycling, and resource recovery across all states. Directly overlaps with Mobile Skips' core skip bin hire offering but at much larger scale, with depot networks that could easily replicate Mobile Skips' trailer-mounted mini-skip service.
• Veolia Australia and New Zealand: Global waste, water, and energy management services company with significant Australian operations including commercial and industrial waste collection. Operates broadly in the same waste services category as Mobile Skips, with the scale and council relationships to disrupt the permit-free mini-skip segment.
• Suez Recycling and Recovery Australia: Major Australian waste management and recycling services provider serving municipal, commercial, and industrial customers. Competes in the broader waste collection market and could leverage its recycling infrastructure and council contracts to compete directly with Mobile Skips' permit-free positioning.

Emerging players

• Hippo (Waste Clearance): UK-based skip bag and waste removal service offering an alternative to traditional skip hire. Adjacent category player addressing the same customer pain points as Mobile Skips (convenience, permit friction) with a different product format.

Direct peers

• 1300 Rubbish: Australian skip bin hire aggregator and operator serving residential and commercial customers across multiple states. Direct competitor to Mobile Skips in the same skip bin hire category, with similar online booking and same-day delivery positioning.
• Bin There Dump That: North American franchise of small, driveway-friendly mini skip bins for residential and small contractor customers. Closest international analog to Mobile Skips' product format and franchise-led go-to-market strategy, validating the concept outside Australia.

Others

• TAXIBOX: Australian portable storage company that has an existing partnership and mutual referral relationship with Mobile Skips. Adjacent rather than competitive, serving overlapping DIY/renovation customer base with complementary storage and waste removal offerings.
