RAW Skips

What RAW Skips does

RAW Skips is a privately held, female and Indigenous-owned waste management and recycling company headquartered in Caboolture, Queensland, founded in 2014 and operating across South East Queensland. The company's core offering is skip bin hire (3m3 to 8m3 Marrel bins) and hook bin hire (15m3 to 40m3 roll-on roll-off bins) delivered and collected through a directly operated fleet of 35 trucks and 2,500+ bins out of four facilities spanning Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast/Gympie hinterland. Underlying the rental business is a vertically integrated processing stack that includes a purpose-built resource recovery facility, primary shredding (900Hp), secondary shredding (650Hp) and crushing equipment, plus regulated-waste transport licenses (ERA 57) covering asbestos, contaminated soil and other listed wastes. As a member of the AKM Earth Group of Companies, the collection operation feeds a closed-loop ecosystem alongside sister businesses AKM Earth (recycled sands and gravels) and Precast Concrete Aust (precast concrete from recycled inputs).

Revenue is generated through unit-priced skip and hook bin rentals on 7-day pay-as-you-go terms ($545–$1,060 inc GST for skips, $2,145–$2,340 for hook bins across four delivery zones), plus higher-margin specialty service lines: product destruction (with certificate of destruction), regulated waste transport, mattress and tyre shredding (up to 60% volume reduction on tyres), food waste collection, construction dust disposal, cargo nets/load restraints, and Greenstar-compliant waste reporting. Customers span residential homeowners, commercial builders (single dwellings through to highrise and hospital projects on multi-year contracts), industrial operators requiring bulk cartage, and special-waste clients. Go-to-market is sales-led via phone (07 3878 7533), email ([email protected]) and a website quote form, with no app, public API or AI-driven product features disclosed. The company is Greenstar-accredited as a waste contractor and processing facility, Supply Nation-registered (Indigenous ownership ≥50%), and deliberately landfill-free, with diversion framed as a core operating principle rather than a marketing tagline.
