The skip bins we hire out are called Marrel skip bins. The type of waste you’re disposing of will be a big factor when deciding what size skip bin to hire. Furniture and white goods will take up more space than general and green waste. Boxes, branches and general garbage can squash down flat, meaning you are able to fit more into a smaller skip.
We have a range of skip bins to choose from, including:
- 3m3 – Perfect for bathroom renovations or small yard/house cleanup
- 4m3 – One of the most popular bins used for moving house & longer items
- 5m3 – Medium generous size bin good for all types of rubbish
- 6m3 – Is used mostly on building sites where all construction waste can be mixed in
- 8m3 – Used for bulky items where the items can not be broken down
- 10m3 – Easy rear loading access used for large heavy material
- 12m3 – Massive Jobs & Industrial sites
There are limitations to what can be placed into our skips. These include:
- Tyres
- Paint tins
- Flammables such as gas bottles or petrol cans
- While motor parts can be disposed of they must be free of oil and grease
- Asbestos
When it comes to Asbestos removal, it is best to hire licensed tradesmen who can dispose of this waste safely.
If any of the restricted items are placed in the skip bin, the load will be contaminated, and you will be responsible for the costs involved in separating the hazardous materials from the rest of the rubbish.
Our skips can be placed at your desired space, where practical. They can also be placed on the nature strip provided the skip doesn’t interfere with pedestrian walkways.
