We dedicated people at bookabin have decided to dedicate this blog to the most frequently asked questions that people ask on our live chat.

Some of these are “What is the price of a bin?”. The answer to this is….get a quote from our user friendly website! You start by entering your postcode on our homepage, then follow the booking process by entering in all your booking requirements such as dates, size and waste type. The website will then generate a quote for you, if you find the quote appealing (which you will) then go ahead and book the bin. How easy is that?!

Another popular question is “How do I know what bin to put my waste in?”. Well, here is the answer…. There are 3 types of bins, A general waste bin is for (yes you guessed it) general waste! Things like wood, plastic and metal. The cleanfill bin is for heavy waste such as concrete, soil and bricks. The last bin is the green waste bin which is for all garden waste such as grass and leaves.

I hope this helps with your booking!!

We should all be trying to reduce our “footprint” and nurture our environment so we can get the best out of our beautiful planet for as long as possible.

80 million plastic bags end up as litter in Australia each year - creating a serious threat to our precious marine life, but Australians are among the best newspaper recyclers in the world, recycling 74.5% of newspapers in 2005. So now let’s get rid of those plastic bags! (Recycling one ton of plastic saves enough energy to run a refrigerator for a month).

An estimated 7 billion cigarette butts end up in Australian waterways, streets and parklands each year but in 2005, Australians recycled 2.3 billion aluminum cans. (That’s 600 million more than ten years ago!). Kick it in the “butt” Australia, let’s concentrate on getting those butts in the bin!

Australians are amongst the highest producers of waste per person in the world, but things are looking up if the following facts are anything to go by, well done Australia!

• In some NSW council areas, households are recycling nearly 46% of their waste!
• Recyclable material makes up almost 80% of total household waste in Australia.
• Over the past 15 years volunteers on Clean Up Australia Day have collected over 200,000 tons of rubbish. That’s 4.7 million household wheelie bins!

Remember every 10 tons of recyclable materials recovered is equivalent to:

• Taking four cars off the road permanently
• Providing a year’s electricity for 14.5 households
• Saving enough water to fill 3.5 average backyard swimming pools

Think twice before disposing of your waste!

Thought so…..most likely why you are reading this blog! Thanks to us, it’s simple, just log onto www.bookabin.com.au . You start by entering your zip code, then the type of skip bin you want, next you select the dates and just like that our site will produce a quote. We have many suppliers signed up with us, so you will actually be getting a quote of the best price in your area, with out having to deal with lots of bin companies yourself! Magic isn’t it?!

So come guys get cleaning and get booking!!!

bookabin works as an agent for many local suppliers; we can search a variety of suppliers schedules to present you with the best price available matching your requirements.

The website searches pricing for ”real time” stock, meaning the price presented is for stock that is actually available matching the size and dates you require.

Often our competitors have a price advertised but no stock left, bookabin will only present a price for stock that is available to you as requested.

The cheapest stock books out first so here are some tips for you to action to ensure you get the sharpest deal on a skip bin booking through bookabin:

Tip One: Try to book a week in advance (the cheapest prices present first, so the best priced stock books out quickly)

Tip Two: Try different sizes (if you are trying for a popular size, you may get a better rate on a slightly larger bin)

Tip Three: Try different dates (you can book for more than 6 days on this site, but shorter hire may result in a better price )

Good Luck! Remember you can LIVE CHAT with us at www.bookabin.com.au if you have any questions….
