Skip bins come in a range of sizes to accommodate different amounts of waste. Common sizes include 2 cubic meters, 4 cubic meters, 6 cubic meters, 8 cubic meters, and even larger sizes like 10 or 12 cubic meters.
The most common sizes we carry are 4, 6, 8 and 10 cubic metre bins
Skip bins are typically used for general waste, such as household waste, construction debris, green waste (e.g., garden clippings), furniture, and other non-hazardous materials. However, there are certain items that are not allowed in skip bins, such as hazardous waste, asbestos, chemicals, batteries, and other prohibited materials.
It's important to check with us about any restrictions.
The rental period for a skip bin can vary depending on the provider and your specific arrangement. It is common to have a rental period of 7 to 14 days, but some providers offer shorter or longer rental durations.
If you need the skip bin for an extended period, you can usually arrange an extension with the provider for an additional fee.
Skip bins are usually placed on driveways, construction sites, or other open areas where they can be easily accessed by a truck for delivery and pickup.
It's important to ensure that there is enough space for the skip bin and that it does not obstruct any public areas or cause any inconvenience to others.
When hiring a skip bin, consider the size of the bin you need, the type of waste you will be disposing of, the duration of the rental period, and the cost of the service.
It's also important to check the skip bin provider's reputation, their waste disposal practices, and any additional terms and conditions they may have.
Whether you need a permit depends on the placement of the skip bin. If you plan to place it on your private property, such as a driveway or yard, you generally do not need a permit.
However, if you intend to place the skip bin on public property, such as a road or footpath, you may need to obtain a permit from the local council or relevant authorities.
