Mobile Skips

Mobile Skips is redefining rubbish removal in Australia with an innovative trailer-mounted skip bin system, award-winning customer service, and a low-overhead franchise model designed for owner-operators. Since launching in 2006 and franchising from 2011, the business has grown into a nationally recognised brand backed by strong partnerships, proven systems, and a customer-first approach.

A Proven Customer Experience

Mobile Skips has earned recognition as one of Australia’s best rubbish removal companies through its “Celebrity Service” approach: reliable delivery, clear communication, transparent pricing, and local operators who take pride in every booking.

By combining innovative logistics with community-minded service, Mobile Skips has transformed skip hire from a frustrating necessity into a convenient, customer-friendly experience.

Why Mobile Skips Stands Out

Proprietary trailer-mounted skip bin system
Unlike traditional skip bins that sit on the ground, Mobile Skips bins are mounted on registered trailers. This means no council permits, no crane trucks, and access to places regular skips can’t reach, including driveways, narrow streets, and underground car parks.

On-time or it’s free guarantee
Customers select a 3-hour delivery window, and if the skip doesn’t arrive on time, the hire is free. This operational commitment helps build trust and repeat business.

National Bunnings partnership
Mobile Skips is the official national skip bin hire partner for Bunnings Warehouse, giving franchisees access to a powerful retail channel and high customer visibility across Australia.

Centralised sales and booking centre
Head office handles inbound calls, online bookings, and customer enquiries. Franchisees can focus on deliveries, collections, and customer service instead of managing phones and admin all day.

Low-overhead, home-based model
No shopfront, warehouse, or staff are required to start. Many franchisees begin as single operators using one vehicle and trailer, keeping startup and operating costs lean.

Established system with nearly 20 years of operations
The model has been refined through different market conditions and expanded across multiple Australian states, giving new franchisees a tested operating system from day one.

Comprehensive training and ongoing support
Initial training covers operations, customer service, and business management. Ongoing support includes marketing, accounting assistance, technology systems, and operational guidance.

Exclusive territories
Each franchisee receives a clearly defined territory with protected boundaries, helping reduce internal competition and support long-term growth.

Experienced founder leadership
The business is led by Jacob Spencer, who brings more than 20 years of franchise experience from brands including McDonald’s, Pret A Manger (London), and Boost Juice.

Partnerships with Purpose

Mobile Skips combines commercial strength with community impact through partnerships with:

• Bunnings Warehouse – national retail visibility and customer access.
  
• Vinnies – every skip hire includes a donation bag so reusable goods can support local communities instead of landfill.
  
• Carbon Neutral – one tree is planted for every skip hired, helping restore biodiverse habitats across Australia.
  

Ideal Candidates

A Mobile Skips franchise is designed for people who want to build a practical, scalable business with strong brand support behind them. Franchisees operate locally, build customer relationships in their communities, and benefit from centralised systems that streamline bookings, marketing, and administration.

Ideal franchisees are:

• Full-time owner-operators.
  
• Comfortable towing a registered trailer (appropriate driver’s licence required).
  
• Customer-focused and reliable.
  
• Financially capable of establishing and operating the business.
  
• Looking for a hands-on business with growth potential.
  

No prior waste industry experience is required. Full training is provided.
