How To Hire A Skip Bin in Melbourne

If you need to hire a skip bin in Melbourne and have never done it before, here's a list of things to consider:

1 - What type of waste have you got?  Waste can be either:

•  Green Waste, or General Waste (like your household items, old furniture) or Builders Waste
• Waste can be either one type - like Green Waste only or Soil Only or Bricks only or
• Waste can be a combination of different types like General Waste and Green Waste
• If your waste is a combination, it could either be mixed light or mixed heavy

2 - Next  thing to consider is what size skip bin would you require.  Some useful skip bin hire websites actually provide a guide to skip bin sizes and all the measurements, like here: Skip Bin Sizes and Dimensions Guide

3 - How long do you require a skip for?  Generally the longer you are keeping it the higher the price might be, as the skip bin operators need to rotate bins, so after a certain period of time they might charge a daily rate on top of the base price.  Therefore aim to have your skip for no longer than a week.

4 - Consider whether you require a permit from a City Council.  As a general rule, if you haven't got your own driveway and have to put skip on a road or on a nature strip - i.e. council property, you will require a permit.  Permits are obtained by the skip supplier, who should be accredited with the city council and have a public liability insurance.

5 - Obtain a couple of quotes but please don't go overboard with quotations.  It's not worthwhile spending a few hours of your time trying to save $30 while you could be earning $60 in this time.

6 - For Skip bins larger than 2 cubic meters, it is helpful to have a skip with a door or so called "walk-in" skip.  That way you can walk into the skip with your wheelbarrow and make the loading of the bin so much easier.

7 - To avoid paying additional fees, please check for items which are not allowed to be placed into a bin, such as hazardous chemicals, asbestos, mattresses, tyres, etc.  All these items will either be taken out of the skip and left on your property or you would be charged additional fees to dispose of them.
