Fantastic service replied instantly to my email and was able to deliver a second bin instantly after picking up the first. Can not fault them service with a smile and very prompt. If you need a skip bin highly recommend and reasonably priced.

Just had a skip for a week. Was only going to have for over the weekend (3 day hire) but the guy was so cheery on the phone and very informative and gave me prices on a few sizes then suggested prices for a week's use as well. I'm sure Ben gives the same information over and over again daily and busy working but out of the several that I called for prices he definitely made me feel like I wasn't just another call. Thank you again for your prompt delivery and also leaving it in a suitable location for us. Will be definately using again when we need a skip!

I have dealt with Cairns Skips on a regular basis for over 5 years now, we have never had a bin delivered late or left sitting on site for collection once we booked the pick up. Ben is an extremely professional and helpful person to deal with and since we have started using Cairns Skips we have not used any other skip bins in Cairns - Good prices and very quick service, i wouldnt use any other company in Cairns.
