What can I put in a skip bin?
Whether it’s a bit of extra household general waste, green waste from the garden, or a commercial quantity of waste from landscaping, building or renovation work, there are some dos and don’ts when it comes to the responsible disposal of your trash.
Most businesses will charge extra for the disposal of mattresses and inner spring bed bases, tyres, and e-waste (electronic waste) like televisions or computers; and will request prior approval before you place them in the skip.
Many businesses outright ban the disposal of hazardous waste, liquids, asbestos, explosives, fluorescent lights, chemicals, gas bottles, oil paint and putrid waste (garbage) in their bins. You will be charged an additional fee should you place any of the above in your skip.
To ensure swift, easy rubbish collection an appropriate site for the bin must be provided by the customer.
If you require a bin to be placed on body corporate or ACT Government land, you may need to arrange a permit/permission.
How much does it cost to hire a skip bin in Canberra?
When hiring a skip bin, many of Canberra’s leading providers offer competitive pricing and will match a better quote from a rival business.
They all offer a range of bins of different sizes, with an extensive skip hire rate card depending on the type of waste, quantity, weight, and how long you’ll need it.
When you contact a skip hire provider, they will ask what sort of materials will be placed the skip and how long you require it, from this information you will be quoted a price.
When renting bins, make sure the size of the bin you’re hiring is suited to the task at hand. Should you have extra rubbish that doesn’t fit, many businesses will charge an additional fee to either flatten the load or will leave it for you to manage.
Due to RTA regulations, rubbish must be level with the top of the bin.
Some skip bin and rubbish removal operators will even provide labour to fill your bin should you require assistance.
