Why Hire a Skip Bin?

You’ve finally decided to renovate your home or landscape your yard, and you’re saving a few bucks by doing the work yourself. You roll up your sleeves and get to work!

But there’s a problem. You only get a few hours into the demolition before you have to load up the trailer and head to the tip. It’s going to take you 2 hours to get there, unload your waste and get back home. That’s 2 hours you could have spent working on your project.

There’s an easy solution – hiring a skip bin is an affordable, easy and safe way to dispose of waste. The skip gets delivered and picked up by the hire company, all you have to do is fill it up!

In this article, we’ll see why you should hire a skip bin and how it can save you time and money on your next project.

The Benefits of Hiring a Skip Bin

There are plenty of good reasons to hire a skip bin if you need to get rid of some waste:

1. The Easiest Way to Remove Waste

With skip bin hire, the hire company will deliver the skip, pick it up once it’s full, and take all your waste to the tip or a recycling centre. You don’t need to lift a finger!

It’s the easiest way to remove waste from residential, commercial, landscaping and demolition projects. We can deliver skips that allow you to rid of tonnes of waste all at once, and we can even help you recycle green waste like clean concrete.

2. Saves You Time and Money

Skips can save you time and money compared to the alternatives! When you hire a skip, you don’t need to rent a trailer, you don’t need to make multiple trips to the tip, and you don’t need to pay the hefty fees for rubbish removal.

That can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars across your entire project.

3. No Trips to the Tip

You’re ready to start your project, but the first thing you have to do is head down the road to pick up the trailer you’ve hired. Then you need to get it home and pray you have enough spare ropes to tie everything down.

The trailer fills up quickly once you start working, and it’s only a few hours before you need to make your first tip run. It takes half an hour to get there, half an hour waiting in a queue, half an hour to unload your rubbish, and then half an hour to get home.

You’ve just lost half your day on a single tip run, and you’ve still got a whole project to finish.

That’s not a problem when you hire a skip bin. We’ll deliver a skip to your front door and you can spend multiple days filling it up. Once it’s full, we collect the skip (and drop off a new one), take all your waste to the tip and the whole process only takes a few minutes.

4. Large Capacity

One of the biggest benefits of hiring a skip is the large capacity. Small skips are the same size as a box trailer, but large skips can hold half a dozen trailer loads. We also offer skip hire for periods of up to 10 days at a time, so you’ll have more than a week to fill up the bin as much as possible.

This makes hiring a skip the best solution for bigger projects and commercial or construction work. Hiring a construction skip typically works out cheaper than alternatives like rubbish cages, and it makes it easy to separate clean timber and concrete for recycling.

5. Improved Safety

Piles of waste lying around your property can be a serious safety hazard. That’s true for residential and commercial projects. In some cases, your local council may even have rules that prevent you from leaving dangerous piles of rubbish anywhere on your property.

Using skip bins allows you to keep your waste contained in one area. Skips improve safety and protect pets, kids and everyone else from accidental harm.

If you’re working on a construction site, you may even be required to use a skip bin to manage your waste. Make sure you check with your local building authority to see whether you need to hire a skip before you begin construction or demolition.

6. Green Waste Skips

Sending your waste straight to landfill can be harmful. Landfills are one of the world’s biggest producers of greenhouse emissions, so it’s important to recycle as much of your waste as possible.

We can help you reduce your footprint by supplying a green waste skip for clean timber, clean concrete and garden waste that doesn’t belong in landfill. That’s good for the environment and it’s good for your wallet, because we also offer discounts on green waste skips to commercial clients.

7. Environmentally Friendly

In addition to green waste skips, hiring a skip is also a great way to reduce pollution and manage waste.

The Brisbane region experiences lots of rain and storms. That can cause serious problems when stormwater runoff mixes with construction waste.

Construction waste is a common cause of pollution. It’s such a problem that local councils often levy fines for pollution caused by things like building waste, chemicals, soil, sand and mud. These things can clog our stormwater drains and they may be harmful to plants and wildlife.

When you hire a skip, it keeps all your waste contained in one spot and is a simple way to avoid pollution runoff. That means you won’t pay any fines and that you’re meeting your requirements under Brisbane’s Environmental Protection Act.
