Guaranteed Same Day Delivery.

We are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Have you been thinking about hiring a skip bin to assist with your waste management for the first time? There are a few things you should know!

Here at Northern Beaches Skip, we offer skip bin hire in Forestville and surrounding areas, and we have helped dozens of first-timers through the skip bin hire process. In our experienced opinion, here are some of the most important things that you should be aware of.

Do Not Overfill The Skip Bin

Many people who hire a skip bin for the first time make the mistake of overfilling it. It is important that you don’t fill your skip past a certain point, and there is usually a line that indicates the maximum capacity.

Only Fill The Bin With One ‘Type’ Of Waste

In order for waste to be disposed of most sustainably, you are only allowed to fill your skip with one type of waste. The categories are usually:

  • Green waste
  • General waste
  • Clean hard fill
  • Building rubble

Choose The Right Size Skip For Your Needs

Did you know that skip bins come in several different sizes? You want to choose a skip bin size that is right for your waste so that you do not overfill your bin if you get one that is too small. You also do not want to pay more than you need to if you get one that is too big.

Don’t Let Neighbours Contaminate Your Skip

Even if you stick to the rules when it comes to filling your skip with one type of waste, your skip could still become contaminated if your neighbours decide to use your skip for their own waste. Have someone watch the skip as you fill it and cover the skip with a tarp overnight.

Know Where The Skip Will Be Placed

Skip bins require a fairly large space to be placed safely. In some cases, you may even need a permit, so it is important to determine where the safest and most convenient placement would be for your skip.
