Red Brick Road - A Story of Upcycle

This month, we would like to share various ways of how we up-cycle the bricks, which come to our Recycling yard in the Skip Bins, which we collect from customers.

Bricks are a very valuable material and  particularly in Australia is a very popular material, which is used in building houses, brick fences, brick pedestrian walks, landscaping and other applications.

To re-use the bricks again, there are a few steps involved in our Recycling yard:

Step 1- separate the bricks from all other rubbish, via Excavator, Sorting Trommel and by hand

Step 2 - place all the bricks into a Brick Bay in our Yard

Step 3 - Clean the bricks, which are whole and are good enough to be re-used

Step 4 - Stack the Cleaned Bricks to a pallet, to be used in our Recycling Yard or to be transported to another site, where second hand bricks are required.

The highlight of this month - was the completion of our own Red Brick Road - by our talented brick layer George, who has created a very safe walk-way in our yard, to separate people from the machinery.  This satisfies our OH&S requirement and at the same time creates an opportunity for up-cycle of bricks.

Another important highlight was the high quality of our second hand bricks, which we have delivered to a luxury town houses construction in Highett, Vic, to be used as a double brick party wall, to ensure noise insulation between the town houses.

If you are getting rid of any bricks from your brick wall or brick fence and have a 100% brick ONLY waste, we are also able to provide a deeply discounted skip bins for 100% Bricks ONLY waste, for instant bin quotes please visit our secure website.

If you have your own story to share about bricks up-cycle or would like to comment on our post, we welcome all your comments :-)

Where Should I Place a Skip Bin - Road or Driveway?

As there are cons and pros in both scenarios, please read our latest analysis, directly from our website blog post.


While most customers prefer to risk their driveway, at the end of the day, it is much cheaper to pay for the permit than to fix any damage to either driveway, fence, landscaping or cross-over.  In particular when ordering large bins from 6 cubic meters and above and filling with heavy waste.

Please consider all the factors of placing a bin on your driveway carefully, when making a decision.

For all the Skip Bin Quotes, Bookings and Council Permit Prices, please contact us!
