Many customers contact bookabin to find out which bin to order because they have a mixture of waste.

If you have less than a wheelbarrow of soil or concrete, a similar amount of green garden waste and general junk from around the house, this can all be mixed in a general waste bin.

If you have more than a wheelbarrow of clean fill type waste as well as other bits and pieces, we often suggest two smaller bins for different waste types, rather than a large general waste bin, as you can reach the weight limit fairly quickly if you have more than a wheelbarrow of dirt or concrete.

The bin types available are:

General Waste: (suitable for light domestic and commercial waste) - NOT suitable for clean fill as it is too heavy, typically anything involved with a “general clean up around the house and section” that is neither liquid nor hazardous waste. The weight limit on this bin is 150kg per 1 cubic meter (eg: 3cm weight limit is 450kg)

Clean Fill / Hardfill: (soil, clay, sand, concrete, asphalt, brick, rock, tiles, etc) There is no weight limit on this bin because of the heavy nature of the waste.

Green Garden Waste: (leafy green garden waste) - NOT suitable for clean fill, as green waste is disposed of differently, use this bin if you have any of the following: Grass, leaves, tree trimmings, small branches and other organic materials. The weight limit on this bin is 150kg per 1 cubic meter (eg: 3cm weight limit is 450kg)

Soil / Dirt: (100% pure soil / dirt only - no turf or contaminants) the cost of disposing of the pure soil is cheaper than if it is contaminated with other waste, if you mix other waste with the soil you will be charged additional fees as the disposal is more expensive. There is no weight limit on this bin because of the heavy nature of the waste.

Hazardous waste cannot be placed in any skip bin. This includes TV’s, monitors, fridges, paints, solvents, liquids or any asbestos. To dispose of any of these materials you need to contact your local council. They will be able to provide you with a contact who can dispose of anything hazardous or not accepted in your skip bin (i.e. food waste).

Use the LIVE CHAT function on the website to ask any questions you may have regarding which type of bin is best for your needs.

It is estimated that around 18 million waste tyres are generated in Australia each year. The disposal or re-use of waste tyres varies greatly between States and Territories but overall nationally, it is estimated that about 57% of waste tyres go to landfill and 13% are disposed of inappropriately through illegal dumping.

Apart from the costs to the community and Governments through littering our landscapes and waterways and taking up scarce landfill space, waste tyres are a source of health and environmental concerns: fires in stockpiles can release toxic gases and pollute waterways and tyre stockpiles provide breeding habitats for mosquitoes. Tyres going to landfill or being dumped are also a lost opportunity; waste tyres are a potentially valuable resource with various re-use, recycling and waste to energy options.

If you have tyres to dispose of the best thing to do is to find an outlet in your area that will recycle them.

So you’ve cleaned up the backyard.  Spent a weekend clearing out all the junk from the garage.  And now you are looking for more ways you can help clean up?  Have a look at http://www.cleanup.org.au/au/.  Here you can learn more about Clean Up Australia Day 2010 and how you can get involved.  There are also activites for kids and volunteering information.  So have a look and help keep Australia clean!

I know I do.  For the past year or so, our garage has been so full of junk, that we can’t even park our cars in it!  Knowing that it’s not going to go away by itself, and my partner continues to add more stuff to the pile each and everyday, I’ve decided to hire a skip bin and get rid of most of the stuff.  There truly isn’t much value in the items, which is why I think they’ve been left sitting around.  So that’s my plans for the weekend…what are yours?

Christmas is well on the way, which means school holidays for the kids, new years and a lot of beautiful sunny days to be enjoyed.  And how to enjoy those days you ask?

Firstly you need to relax.  That’s why it is such a brilliant idea to get the house sorted out before the havoc of Christmas and summer really hit!  Most people have family to come and stay over the Christmas holidays.  You may need extra space or just want a clean, tidy and clutter free house (need extra room for all those decorations), so log onto www.bookabin.com.au and order a skip bin.  Bookings and payments are made online, and then the skip bin is delivered to your location.  Tidying up and getting ready for hoards of family to come and stay is never fun, so we have made booking a skip bin as easy as 1-2-3!
