Planning the drop in Perth
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Perth is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
Things to check before you order

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
