If you're interested in performing a large-scale garden renovation then you may need to consider getting some skip bins to help with the removal of the waste materials. Waste removal is serious business in Australia and must be done correctly and conform to the Governments National Waste Policy. By hiring from a professional skip bin company you can ensure that your waste is disposed of efficiently and ethically, allowing you to concentrate on the task of creating your dream garden. Here are a few considerations you need to take in to account, in order to allow you to hire the correct skips and plan it accordingly.
Skip Bin Sizes
Skip bins come in all shapes and sizes, and are usually sized in either feet or by the number of black bin bags they can hold. This is useful when trying to estimate the amount of waste you'll need to dispose of, however if you're unsure you can always arrange for multiple collections or speak with the hire company and ask for a quote and estimation.
What Type to Use
Depending on the type of waste you'll need to get rid of will impact the variety of skip you'll need. For everyday garden waste and rubble you'll be ok with a standard skip, however for hazardous or toxic materials such as chemicals, paint and asbestos you'll need a different container. This is because these need to be disposed of separately, and skip bin hire companies will not sort your rubbish for you. If you think that the debris will get blown out of the skip or perhaps rot and cause odours, you can request a lid that will protect the contents. This is also handy if the skip is located near a public right of way, as it will stop people from throwing their own rubbish into it.
Pre-Planning for Your Delivery
Before the skip arrives you will need to plan where it will go and how the delivery truck will manoeuvre into position. Consider asking neighbours to move cars prior to the delivery, as you may be liable if any damage is caused. You should also ensure that the skip can be placed in a suitable location that provides easy access for you when disposing of waste, as well as being away from public footpaths and roads. Should it cause an obstacle, you may be required to move it at a later date if a complaint is made. This will just add further stress to an already stressful job.
