How to Make the Most of Your Skip Bin Rental

Looking to manage your waste for a residential or commercial project? Renting a skip bin can be a great option to save time and take a lot of hassle in the disposal process. Whether you’re renovating your home, clearing out an office, or undertaking a construction project, a skip bin is a handy solution that can save you multiple trips to the landfill. But to make the most out of your skip bin hire, there are a few things to keep in mind. In this article, we’ll guide you through some key steps and tips to ensure that you get the most out of your skip bin rental so you can enjoy the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and convenience to the max.

Choosing the Right Size Bin

When it comes to hiring a skip bin, one of the most important things to consider is selecting the right size for your needs. It can be tricky to estimate how much waste you’ll generate, but it’s important to get it right. If you hire a bin that’s too small, you might need another bin or face extra waste removal fees. And if you hire a bin that’s too large, you’ll be paying for space you don’t need.

Don’t worry, though; there’s an easy way to find the perfect size for your project. You’ll want to think about the kind of waste you’re getting rid of and then have a chat with our team. We’re more than happy to help you find the best option for your needs. We’ve got a wide range of skip bin sizes available to suit different types of jobs. You can check out our handy chart to compare skip sizes to get started. Take your time, consider your options, and don’t hesitate to ask for guidance if you need it!

Understanding Waste Types

It’s important to know that different types of waste need different methods of disposal. Luckily, hiring a skip bin can help with that. We offer skip bin rental for both green waste and general waste. We have a comprehensive list of what you can put in skip bins, so you can make sure our skip hire options suit your needs.

Knowing which category your rubbish falls into can help you comply with local regulations. Certain materials, like asbestos or hazardous waste, can’t be placed in standard skip bins and require special disposal procedures. To ensure safe and compliant waste removal, it’s essential to be clear about what you’re disposing of. If you need clarification on what waste types or disposal methods to use, we can always provide helpful guidance.

Effective Skip Bin Placement For Easy Delivery

The placement of your skip bin can make a huge difference in terms of efficiency. You want to make sure you choose the right spot for easy access and convenience. The best spot to place a skip bin is usually on your driveway, footpath, or lawn. But make sure you have enough space for the skip bin and that it won’t cause any issues upon drop off. It’s also essential to make sure the delivery area is accessible and that the driver won’t have any trouble getting the skip bin to the spot you want it. 

While you might be tempted to place your skip bin on the nature strip outside your home, this can cause some problems. It’s government land and requires a permit from the council to use, and you could be blocking off essential services like water and telecommunications, so it’s best to avoid this. 

Strategically Filling Your Skip Bin

Efficient use of your skip bin can save both time and money. Fill your bin strategically to maximise space by starting with flat items at the base of the skip bin, then heavier items at the bottom and lighter items at the top. This ensures you get as much space as possible out of your rental. 

Even though it can be tempting to try and fit too much into your skip bin, overfilling it is never a good idea. Each skip bin has a limit on how much rubbish can be placed safely inside. This limit is the rim of the bin and is where your rubbish load should stop. If you overload your skip bin, our delivery driver will not be able to collect it because it’s at risk of toppling during transportation. It goes without saying this can cause a massive road hazard.

The last thing you want is to have to either remove items above the rim of the bin or be hit with extra charges or fines for overloading your skip. Therefore, making sure your skip bin is loaded correctly can save you money and precious time!

The Cheapest Skip Bin Hire Doesn’t Mean The Best

It’s important to keep in mind that cheap skip bin hire might not always be the best option. Often, the low price may come at the cost of quality. It always might be too good to be true – there’s nothing worse than getting slapped with unexpected fees at the end of the rental. It’s a general rule that the lowest price doesn’t necessarily mean the best value for money.
