Summary
Established mobile skip-bin hire business with 22 registered trailers, 22 mobile skip bins and substantial unused fleet capacity. Low fixed overheads, no employees and major expansion potential.
Location Details
Melbourne South-East
Currently focused primarily on Melbourne’s South-East, leaving significant untapped expansion potential across greater Melbourne, Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula. The mobile model is highly scalable into additional service areas.
Potential
Significant growth potential remains largely untapped. Current operations have focused primarily on Melbourne’s South-East and recent trading has been generated using only around 10 of the 22 available units.
A purchaser therefore acquires substantial existing fleet capacity without the immediate need to invest in additional trailers or bins.
Expansion opportunities include greater Melbourne, Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula, along with increased direct marketing, trade accounts, repeat customers and commercial partnerships.
Skills
The business is straightforward to operate and no previous waste-industry experience is required. It would suit an owner-operator or an existing waste, landscaping, rubbish-removal, property-services or equipment-hire business.
A suitable tow vehicle and the ability to safely deliver and collect trailer-mounted bins are required. Full operating handover and training can be provided.
Hours
Owner currently operates approximately 5 days per week, averaging around 3–4 hours per day.
Lease
No lease attached, giving the purchaser flexibility to operate from a suitable low-cost location of their choice.
Employees
No employees or contractors currently operate the skip-bin business. The business is presently owner-operated, making the transition straightforward for a purchaser.
Reason for Sale
After many years in business, the owner is looking to step back, travel around Australia and enjoy a more flexible lifestyle. The business is performing well and is being offered for sale as part of this planned lifestyle change.
About the Business
Established mobile skip-bin hire business with a substantial 22-unit registered trailer fleet and significant unused growth capacity.
The business is currently focused primarily on Melbourne’s South-East and provides registered trailer-mounted skip bins as a convenient alternative to conventional truck-delivered skips.
The sale includes 22 registered mobile skip bin trailers, 22 mobile skip bins and a specialised low-hour Handymax 4x4 all-terrain forklift fitted with a custom 360° bin rotator specifically configured for the operating system.
Recent trading has been generated using only around 10 of the 22 available units, providing a purchaser with substantial existing capacity to increase revenue without immediately purchasing additional fleet.
Key advantages include:
• 22 registered trailer units
• 22 mobile skip bins
• Specialised forklift and custom rotator system

• No previous waste-industry experience required
Revenue is generated from direct bookings, repeat customers, referrals, paid changeovers and established online skip-bin marketplaces.
The current service area has been concentrated mainly in Melbourne’s South-East, leaving significant opportunity to expand across greater Melbourne, Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula.
The business would suit an owner-operator, first-time business owner or an existing waste, rubbish-removal, landscaping, property-services or equipment-hire business. Previous industry experience is not essential, as the operating model is straightforward and full training and handover can be provided.
The owner is looking to step back from day-to-day business commitments and spend more time travelling and enjoying a more flexible lifestyle. The sale is therefore a planned lifestyle decision rather than a performance-driven exit.
