People love working in their gardens to create a beautiful outdoor space. Gardening and landscaping projects range from little garden spring cleans to large yard and garden makeovers, tree removals, and large-scale renovation projects. The biggest thing you’re left with after all this is green waste and garden waste. Skip bin hire makes eco-friendly waste management so much easier and saves you from a bunch of trips to the tip.
Benefits of using bins
Hiring green waste skip bins on site offers several benefits. First, it’s an efficient way to dispose of a lot of garden and green waste – after all, it’s called ‘playing in the dirt’ for a reason. Green waste skip bins save you multiple trips to the tip to dispose of garden waste.
Piles of garden waste and debris can also attract pests and spread disease, plus they make your garden an eyesore. Skip bins allow all the waste to be organised and out of the way, leaving your garden clean and safe.
Skip bins are eco-friendly since they make it easier for the skip bin company to recycle. Green waste is often recycled into mulch or compost.
Types of waste
Gardening and landscaping projects generate different types of waste, and skip bin hire services offer bins for each type.
Green waste skip bins offer green waste removal for grass clippings, leaves, flowers and plants, weeds, mulch and wood chips, sticks and tree branches. At Angel Waste, we accept branches that are less than 20 centimetres in diameter and less than 2 metres long. We do not accept bamboo in green waste bins.
Depending on what you’re doing in your garden, you may also have household rubbish, soil, or renovation waste.
We offer light or heavy general waste bins. They are meant for mixed waste like old pots, lawn implements, decorations, or furniture.
If you’ve removed the top layer of soil and turf, we also offer a skip bin for soil and turf only.
Our bins for renovation waste hold either concrete and rock only or mixed masonry such as bricks and pavers.
Skip bin sizes
How do you choose the right skip bin size for your project? A skip bin’s volume is measured by cubic metre. Here are some common projects with the appropriate skip sizes.
Small garden tidy-up: 2 cubic metres
Garden or yard clean-up: 4 cubic metres
Mid-range yard and garden projects: 6 cubic metres
Major garden renovation or landscaping projects: 9-10 cubic metres
Tips on making the most of a green waste bin
For the most efficient waste management, follow these three tips.
Separate different types of garden waste
- Don’t mix types of waste in the same bins unless you’ve hired general waste bins.
- Separating waste types helps make sure you get the right skip bin for your waste disposal needs.
- It also makes recycling services more efficient.
Never put hazardous waste in green waste or general waste bins
- Generally, hazardous waste consists of toxic materials that are dangerous or environmentally unfriendly.
- If you’re in doubt about whether something can go into a bin, ask our friendly staff.
Maximise the space in a bin
- Place heavier materials at the bottom and lighter materials on the top.
- This may help to avoid exceeding weight limits and incurring associated fees.
