Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put asbestos in my bin?
No. Unless you have a bin that is dedicated for asbestos. If your bin is to be found to have asbestos in it you will be charged a reload and return to site fee or reload and tipped at an alternate facility at an extra cost to you.
What does the cost of the bin cover?
The cost covers us dropping the bin to you, picking the bin up and tipping of all contents of your bin.
What happens if a skip bin is over loaded?
If a skip bin is filled over the rim of the bin and we are unable to cover the contents securely, it is illegal to transport, and therefore can not be removed. In some cases the driver will remove the contents on the top of the bin and leave them next to the skip, and then remove the bin.
If the driver is unable to remove the overloaded material, the office staff will contact the client and give them the opportunity to order another skip at the same rate (or smaller bin if required) to place the overloaded items into. An appropriate collection date will then be arranged.
To what level can I fill the bin?
Bins may be filled to the top rail, no higher. As it is illegal to transport overloaded bins our drivers cannot remove the bin if it is overfull
Do I need a permit?
Councils have different regulations regarding skip bins. If you are unable to put the bin onto your property check with your local council to see if you require a permit.
