When you hire a skip bin it is important that you select the correct waste type. Our dumping fees are dependent on the correct materials being placed in the bin.
For most home renovation or office clean up projects the General Waste skip bin is the appropriate choice. However if your project is mainly concrete, bricks, pavers or soil you need to make sure you hire the appropriate bin that can accommodate heavy waste as there are implications in both dumping fees and the capability of the skip truck to lift the bin to remove it.
Note it is illegal to place any asbestos in any of these skip bins.
General / Light Construction Waste
This type of bin is common for home renovators or office clean outs. Common materials placed in this type of bin include Timber, Plasterboard, cabinetry, furniture, carpet, flooring, pvc / copper pipes, garden cuttings and similar general waste.
You cannot put heavy materials in these bins such as concrete, bricks, pavers, soil.
Green Waste
Green Waste skip bins are perfect for garden tidy ups. You can place large amount of branches, grass clippings, small trees and any other plant or grass related offcuts.
These bins are often hired when the customer is removing old gardens.
You cannot put heavy materials in these bins such as concrete, bricks, pavers, soil.
Mixed / Heavy Construction Waste
Heavy waste skip bins are used when the waste is a combination of building materials and concrete, bricks and/or rubble.
This type of bin is commonly used by builders or renovators where they’re performing demolition work where there’s a mixture of heavy waste combined with other general construction waste like timbers etc.
Soil Waste
A soil skip bin is used when the material is strictly soil only.
This type of skip is commonly used on projects such as preparing land for concrete slabs, levelling land, landscaping and digging holes for construction projects.
You cannot put other materials in these bins such as concrete, bricks or any other general waste.
Concrete / Bricks (Clean Concrete / Brick Waste)
These bins are used for concrete or brick removal jobs. The term “clean waste” refers to the fact that there is strictly concrete or bricks only in the bin and no other contaminates such as general waste.
When the waste is clean it allows us to dump it in the concrete / brick section at the waste centre and we are charged accordingly.
You cannot put anything except for concrete, bricks or rubble in these bins.
