There are a lot of skip bin hire options in Canberra. Whether you’re starting a renovation project, moving house or looking for commercial and industrial waste management options, hiring a skip bin is a great way to quickly dispose of your general waste and garden waste for any task. The placement of your skip bin during your hire period is an important factor to consider before the date of hire. In this article, we will go through why it’s important to consider where you can place your skip bin, including accessibility and the places in which a skip bin cannot be placed under any circumstances.
The best spot to place a skip bin
The best spot for skip hire placement is generally on your driveway, pavement (not the pathway or nature strip) or your lawn. Before you book your next skip hire service in Canberra, consider the size of the area you would like to place the skip for your rubbish removal and if it is a large enough area for the skip bin hire company to access without issues. Every attempt will be made to place the skip in your specified location on site, though in some instances, at the discretion of the company, the driver may have to choose another spot to place the skip bin if the area originally chosen is too small or is deemed unsafe and/or is inaccessible. Upon the date of delivery someone should be at home and available to provide precise instructions should the driver require assistance.
Making your skip bin and area accessible
We understand that you would like your skip bin hire as close to the area of your home or business project as possible. This isn’t always possible depending on where you are conducting the project on the property. A good indication on whether your area is accessible is by analysing the area and making sure you can fit a large truck in without disrupting or having to pull down any existing objects or infrastructure. For example, if you are wanting a skip bin in your backyard, the truck will most likely be unable to access the back of your property. It is your responsibility to ensure that the driver of the skip bin can access the delivery area as smoothly as possible. If the driver has restricted access upon delivery, they might be unable to deliver the skip bin. In this instance, the driver will have to redeliver at another time and an extra charge will apply.
Where not to place a skip bin
Working out where you can and can’t place a skip bin can be quite confusing. Many people choose to place a skip bin in their front yard or driveway. But not everyone has the luxury of using this space around their home. In these cases, some choose to use the nature strip outside the home and commonly next to the driveway. While this may seem like a good idea and save you on space during your hire period, there are some things to consider when you use the nature strip. As it is government land and not part of the land lease of the residence, this means you will typically require a permit to use the nature strip at any time. The reason for this is that most nature strips often contain essential infrastructure services such as energy, telecommunications, water and wastewater. By placing a skip bin on top of this area, you could possibly be physically blocking off these essential services should the ACT City Services or Access Canberra need to access them. It is recommended you check with your skip bin provider on your intended place for the skip bin. The provider can give you general information on whether you might require a permit prior to your skip bin hire date. What goes into a skip bin is also an important area to consider as there are many things that cannot be placed inside a skip bin under any circumstance. This is in cases of toxic and bulky waste.
In case damage of skip hire
Damage to your yard during skip hire
Every precaution is taken by the skip bin hire company to ensure the skip bin is delivered and collected safely and securely without damage, though in the instance that there is possible damage to your driveway, pathway, pavement, lawn or other area, the liability for this damage lies with the homeowner or person who purchased the skip bin. We suggest you review the terms and conditions before committing to a skip bin hire. Angel Waste does not accept responsibility for damage past the curb side based on the client instructions of delivery and collection.
If you’re concerned about potential damage to your yard, you can place wooden planks on the ground of where you plan on having the skip delivered, that can minimise damage to your yard while the skip bin is moved upon delivery and collection.
Damage to the skip bin
In the instance that the skip bin is damaged during the hire duration period, the client is to take full responsibility for any damage to the bin that might occur. This includes if the bin has been defaced, altered, vandalised or in any other way damaged. Once the skip bin has been placed onto your property, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that it is not damaged throughout the duration of the hire period.
