Flexibin and Flexi Bag Comparison

Flexibins are purchased for an initial upfront cost which starts from $43.90 for a 2m³ sized bag and $54.90 for a 3m³ bag which is the biggest you can buy. Flexibin collection costs are where things start adding up. You will need to factor in another approx $125 (2m³) or $149 (3m³) per bag for the Auckland area. It’s also worth checking reviews regarding reliability and timeliness.

Junk Run pickups are not fixed at a set amount as we can fill up to 12m³ per truck. Our rate per m³ is higher but we do everything for you including all the lifting and carrying. See our comparison of Flexibin vs Junk Run prices here. These prices were up to date as of  1st July, 2022.

Flexibins must to be placed inside your property (unlike this one), but the collection truck needs to have a 3 metre wide drive and 9m high clearance for pick up. The bag cannot have anything poking out the top. You cannot load them with tyres, fluorescent tubes, chemicals, gas or petrol or any food waste. Junk Run can take tyres and fluoro tubes for a small extra fee. Junk Run only needs a height clearance of 3m or less, or we can park on the road and our Junk Runners hand collect items from anywhere on your property.

Your Flexibin pick up will need to be prepaid and booked in advance. Once you have done this you will need to wait for pick up which can take up to 5 working days. If you make any mistakes your loading or positioning it will not go ahead, and the bag will be left behind. You will have no such worries with Junk Run collections. We take lots of calls from people caught out and still waiting much longer than 5 days, and up against a deadline (moving house/ big special event/ builders). We can be there the same day or next day.

A Junk Runner is shown above removing waste from a Flexibin. We are not associated with the Flexibin Company but sometimes get called in to remove them if they haven’t followed Flexibin’s rules or the client can’t wait longer for a pick up.
