Choosing the right skip bin type depends on the waste you need to dispose of. Here are the different skip bin types available:

  • General Waste Skip Bin: For general rubbish, white goods, old toys, furniture, clothing, green waste, household, and electrical items.
  • Green Waste Skip Bin: For grass, leaves, weeds, bark, shrubs, tree branches, and untreated wood (no other waste allowed).
  • Mixed Waste Skip Bin: Suitable for renovations; can also add concrete, bricks, pavers, and green waste.
  • Concrete/Bricks Skip Bin: For concrete, concrete pavers, roof tiles, and bricks (no other waste allowed).
  • Soil/Dirt Skip Bin: For dirt, soil, clay, and sand (no other waste allowed).

Selecting the right skip bin size depends on the volume of waste you need to dispose of. Our skip bins range from 2m³ to 30m³.

For small household cleanouts, a 2m³ or 4m³ bin is usually sufficient. For larger projects like renovations or major cleanouts, consider 6m³ to 10m³ bins. Commercial projects may require 15m³ to 30m³ bins. If you’re unsure, our team can help you choose the right size based on your specific needs.

Yes, there are several types of skip bins designed for different waste materials. We offer General Waste, Green Waste, Mixed Waste, Concrete/Bricks, and Soil/Dirt skip bins. Each type is specifically designed to handle certain materials and ensure proper disposal and recycling. Choosing the correct type helps with efficient waste management and may also affect pricing.

For the average household cleanout or small renovation project, a 4m³ to 6m³ skip bin is typically sufficient. This size can accommodate:

  • General household waste from a room or two
  • Small garden cleanups
  • Minor renovation debris
  • Old furniture and appliances

If you’re doing a full house cleanout or major renovation, you may need a 10m³ or larger bin. Our booking system allows you to compare sizes and prices to find the best fit for your needs.

The standard hire period for skip bins is typically 7 days, which gives you plenty of time to fill the bin at your own pace. However, hire periods can vary depending on the supplier and your specific requirements.

If you need the skip bin for a longer period, you can usually extend the hire period for an additional fee. It’s best to discuss your timeline with us when booking, and we can arrange a hire period that suits your project schedule.

If you need more time with your skip bin, simply contact us before the scheduled collection day. We can arrange an extension for an additional fee.

It’s important to contact us as early as possible to avoid any collection attempts. Our suppliers are flexible and understand that projects can take longer than expected. We’ll work with you to find a solution that fits your timeline.
