Roro bin price in Malaysia (sewa tong roro): sizes, rental rates and rules
Roro bin (tong sampah lori) sizes and prices for renovation and bulky waste in Malaysia, by height or by weight, extra charges, what can't go in, permits and free bulky-waste pickup.
Roro bin sizes and prices
Malaysian roro bins are sold by their height: they are about 6 ft wide and 12 ft long. Klang Valley prices per trip (2026), usually including delivery, about 7 days on site, pickup and disposal within the weight limit:
| Bin height | Holds about | Price per trip |
|---|---|---|
| 2 ft | 4 m³ (5 cubic yards), up to about 3 tonnes | about RM230–RM340 |
| 4 ft | 8 m³ (11 cubic yards), up to about 4 tonnes | about RM350–RM480 |
| 5 ft | 10 m³ (13 cubic yards) | about RM480–RM520 |
| 6 ft | 12 m³ (16 cubic yards) | about RM500 |
Market estimates, not CariLori prices. Other states are often cheaper (for example from about RM240 in Negeri Sembilan). Extra days on site are charged per day.
Which size?
- 2 ft: heavy waste such as tiles, bricks, concrete and soil from a kitchen or bathroom renovation.
- 4 ft: a small renovation, or clearing a store or a few rooms.
- 5–6 ft: bulky but light waste such as old furniture, boxes and garden waste from a big clean-up.
Priced by weight instead
Some suppliers sell bins by the weight allowed rather than the height; bigger 12–24 cubic-yard bins are used for big projects. Published prices (2025):
| Weight allowed | Price per trip |
|---|---|
| Up to 3 tonnes | about RM300–RM450 |
| Up to 5 tonnes | about RM450–RM600 |
| Up to 7 tonnes | about RM600–RM850 |
| Up to 10 tonnes | about RM900–RM1,200 |
Landfill fees are charged by the tonne (for example about RM95 a tonne at Jeram, Selangor, in 2026) and are part of these prices up to the weight limit.
Extra charges to ask about
- Overweight: every tonne over the limit is charged extra, and a very heavy bin may need a second trip.
- Extra days: about 7 days are usually included (some suppliers allow 2 weeks), then a daily or weekly charge.
- Household or mixed waste: some suppliers charge more than for renovation debris.
- Banned items in the bin: charged extra, or left behind for you to remove.
What can't go in
- Asbestos, paint, solvents and other chemicals.
- Batteries, gas cylinders and tyres.
- Electrical and electronic waste, and clinical waste.
- Anything flammable. Scheduled (hazardous) waste must go to a licensed contractor under DOE rules.
Permits and where the bin goes
Inside your own compound you usually don't need a permit. If the bin must stand on a public road or pavement, suppliers say you need a temporary permit from your local council (PBT), which can take 3–7 working days. Ask the supplier whether they arrange it, and check with your council.
A few old items? Try free pickup first
For a mattress, a sofa or a broken fridge, your area's waste collector may take it for free on its bulky-waste day: SWCorp, SWM Environment and Alam Flora collect bulky waste on a schedule, and in Selangor you book a pickup in the iClean Selangor app.
