Renting a skip bin is one of the simplest ways to manage waste during home cleaning, renewal or garden project. However, to ensure a smooth collection and avoid additional charges, it is important to prepare your waste properly before the Skip bin company arrives. Good preparation not only makes the process easier for you, but also helps in handling the provider and also to deal with your nonsense safely and efficiently.
Here is a step-by-step guide how to prepare your waste for a collection of trouble free skip bin.
Sort your waste into categories
Before bouncing everything in the bin, take a few minutes to separate your waste. Different types of waste should be handled in different ways, and mixing them can lead to additional costs or even your load rejection.
Common waste categories include:
General household waste: furniture, old clothes, broken toys.
Green West: Branches, grass clipping, leaves and other garden debris.
Construction waste: bricks, concrete, wood and tiles.
Recyclables: cardboard, paper, plastic and metals.
Dangerous waste (cannot go into skip compartment): paint, chemicals, asbestos, tires, or battery.
Tip: Ask your skip bin provider whether they provide special compartments for green waste or recycles – they are often cheap.
Break heavy items
Large objects such as furniture, cardboard box, or tree branches can take too much space if left. Breaking them helps you fit more waste in your skip bin and can save you from hiring a big, more expensive bin.
Furniture: Disable beds, tables, and shelves where possible.
Cardboard box: Level them to make more rooms.
Branches: Cut them into small sections so that they stack neatly.
Load skip bin efficiently
How you keep your waste inside the bin can create a big difference. A poorly loaded skip may require additional visits or lead to overfilling the penalty.
First heavy items: Keep bricks, tiles and other heavy waste down.
Flat items next: stack timber, flat boxes, and panels neatly on top.
Fill the gap: Use small fuck to fill the spaces between heavy objects.
Light Waste Last: Add light items like green waste or soft plastic on top.
Important: Never fill the rear bin of the rim – it is a safety threat and can result in additional fees.
Keep dangerous materials out
Skip compartments are not designed for dangerous or toxic objects. These incorrect disposal can cause damage to the environment and impose fines.
Do not put the following in your skip bin:
Adh
Paint, oil, or other fluid
Batteries
Gas bottles
Chemicals or medical waste
Check with your local council for safe settlement options for these items.
Keep your bin in a convenient place
Make sure your skip bin is placed where the collection truck can easily access it. Avoid blocking the driveway, pavement or public roads without the approval of the council.
best practice: Place the bin on the level of land.
Keep the area clean with cars or obstacles.
If placed on the road, confirm what permits are required.
Time your booking carefully
To prevent your skip bin from seating for days, close to the collection when you will finish loading it. It prevents others from adding their nonsense and helps to keep your site streamlined.
