We offer skip bin hire for general waste and green waste for your convenience. So, what is your ideal size of a skip bin based on your waste? We have a quick trick on how to determine what size you will require per cubic metre.

Other questions about skip bin hire
- Each skip bin will have a weight limit that must be adhered to. If you have heavy waste and the weight is exceeded, this will affect how the skip bin is collected and extra fees may apply.
- Angel Waste is available for skip bin hire to remove your general waste and green waste for either 3 days or 7 days at a time.
- There is a specific way on how to load your skip bin. A skip bin can be filled to the top of the skip bin but needs to remain level and the contents can not exceed the top of the skip. Additional fees will be charged if the driver cannot level the skip upon collection.
