Don't Skip Over The Waste

If you're planning on doing a large-scale home renovation project, then you'll probably need to consider getting rid of large amounts of garden and household building waste. This can be a difficult thing to do, as different types of waste need to be disposed of properly in order to reduce national waste and pollution. Skip bins are a great way of compiling large amounts of waste and having it transported safely and disposed of in accordance with the Department of the Environment and Energy's numerous waste policies. 

What Type of Bin is Right?

Skip bins come in many different sizes, but the shapes are largely the same. The difference comes from where the waste is disposed of. If you want to get rid of organic waste, then that should be the only thing that you throw in the skip. Likewise, if you have building waste, then this shouldn't be mixed with furniture or organic matter, for example. Mixing waste could result in further fees if the waste cannot be disposed of properly. The type of bin generally refers to the size and whether you will require a lid or not. This is an important factor to consider, as waste can blow out of the bin, polluting the surrounding area. However, people may also try to throw their own waste in along with yours if the bin is not secured enough, leading to further charges or the need for more frequent collections.

Size Does Matter

Size matters when it comes to a bin. If you're unsure what size to get, there are plenty of handy guides online that measure the skips in square feet and by the number of black bags that they can hold. If this is too difficult for you to decide on your own, then talk to the skip hire company. They'll be able to cover the different skip bin types and sizes and recommend the most appropriate option for you. They will even be able to provide you with an estimate of how frequently it could and should be emptied to avoid overfilling or foul-smelling waste. When hiring a skip, think about how fast you will be completing the project and whether or not you can afford to have waste lying in the bin for an extended period. If it's a garden project, then more frequent pick-ups and a smaller skip may be more suitable, whereas if you're doing a larger building project such as constructing an extra room, then a larger skip with fewer pickups could be better.
