Just some helpful tips about ordering a skip bin from bookabin if you have mixed waste for postcode 4121 Queensland: Tarragindi, Holland Park, Holland Park West, Holland Park East and Wellers Hill.Tip 1). If you have a mix of general waste, maybe you have some furniture, bits of wood - random things from around the house, as well as green waste. You can mix both of these waste types in a general waste bin. These are the only 2 waste types that can be mixed together…Tip 2). Cleanfill and soil still needs to be disposed of in separate bins. If you have a mix of cleanfill and general waste , get quotes for 2 small separate bins - this can often be less expensive than 1 big bin.Tip 3). If you have soil which isnt clean, for example it has weeds and grass all through it, that can still be disposed of in a cleanfill bin - only pure soil / dirt can be disposed of in the soil bin.

Who would have thought a skip bin would have so many, well, uses?The team at bookabin recently read a blog which showed different ways one skip bin was used in the UK, this skip bin had quite an adventure..Firstly, it was turned into a pool, the clever inventor even stuck on a ladder for easy access for the keen swimmers.Then, the skip bin was turned into a ping pong table…slightly pointless, we agree but intriguing all the same.Next this multi purpose bin became a garden, with soil laid down and pretty flowers planted (we know what you are thinking, and we didn’t say the uses were actually useful).The bin then became a skate ramp for skateboard enthusiasts, a bit of wood was added and presto…an almost half pipe.Finally, the last leg of the adventure saw the skip becoming a garden, turf was laid, tables and chairs were placed, a tree was growing out of a pot plant…could hardly tell it was in a skip, ok hardly may just be us been a little optimistic…it’s a nice thing all the same.Please note: Bookabin bin’s are available for rubbish removal purposes only!

If your bin is going to be placed on private land you probably will not need a permit, but if the bin placed outside your gate or somewhere that is considered public land you probably will.

The best thing to do is contact your local council and let them know where you intend to place the bin.  They will tell you what you need to know about arranging a permit for the placement if it is deemed necessary.

Some suppliers are able to arrange these for you when you book your bin on bookabin.com.au, but the price does not include council permit fees.  If a permit is applicable, the fees will be charged to you directly by the supplier.
