There is a difference when selecting which bin to hire.  If you have light domestic and/or commercial waste, you should be selecting a ‘General Waste’ bin.  If you have cleanfill, you should be selecting a ‘Cleanfill’ bin.  Please do not try to order a General Waste bin if you have cleanfill to dispose of as this will disrupt the service of your bin.  As a friendly reminder, we have included this note within the waste type descriptions.

bookabin.com.au - Making your skip bin hire process as smooth as possible!

We get this question quite frequently here at bookabin.com.au.  And the answer…well it depends.  The price of a skip bin to hire is primarily determined by the size, waste type and the number of days you require the bin.  If you simply visit our site and enter your specific information for the skip bin you require, you will be presented with the actual price for hiring that skip bin.  You can then book the skip bin online and have it delivered within 24 hours.  Simple eh?!

www.bookabin.com.au has undergone a tiny change.

Due to customer feedback, we have made a change to our Waste Type notifications. The change should make it clearer to our customers when they are choosing which type of skip bin they require. The notification now reads:

General Waste (suitable for light domestic and commercial waste)
Clean fill / Hard fill Waste (soil, clay, brick, rock, tiles, etc)
Green Garden Waste (biodegradable, organic garden waste)

Please note there is a weight limit of 150kg per cubic meter on General Waste Skip Bins, for example if you order a 3m your limit is 450kg.

Remember our LIVE CHAT function if you have any questions we can help you with!

Ok, maybe we are a little bias, but we think our website www.bookabin.com.au is quite simply a great example of innovative technology.

It has the ability to produce instant quotes for our customers and gives them the ability to place a skip bin order online without having to speak to anyone!

Live Chat is one such nifty feature of www.bookabin.com.au. It allows people searching for skip bin hire to contact us directly and ask questions before they book their bin. One of the main questions asked is about the suitability of bin types for different waste and whether it can all be mixed in one bin. For example:

Q: Hello, I have a mixture of concrete, soil, sand, clay, rocks, rubble, bricks, sand, asphalt, ceramic tiles, leaves, tree trimmings, small branches and some general rubbish from around the house what bin type do I need to dispose of all of this? Can I mix it all in a general waste bin?

A: You will need a clean fill bin for the concrete, soil etc – you cannot dispose of this in any other bin. Your green waste can be mixed with your general waste in a general bin (can’t put general waste in a green bin or a clean fill bin). You would be best to order two smaller bins, one for your clean fill and one for your general/green waste mix.

Please be aware there is a weight limit on a general waste bin of 150kg per cubic metre, so keep this in mind when filling it with heavier objects as excess weight does incur a fee from the supplier.

Hopefully this information will help with your skip bin planning. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us by clicking on the LIVE CHAT icon at www.bookabin.com.au and we will be happy to help!

Once again, Bookabin is here to save the day! She popped onto ‘Live Chat’ and discussed this with one of our live chat operators who advised her of our waste types:

General Waste
Typically anything involved with a “light waste general cleanup around the house and section” that is neither liquid nor of a hazardous nature. You can dispose of garden waste in this bin as well.

NO SOIL, BRICKS (well maybe just one!), FOOD WASTE/CHICKEN, CEMENT, TYRES, PAINT, MATRESSES, FRIDGES etc.

This bin has a weight limit of around 150kg/cubic metre therefore NO HEAVY WASTE ALLOWED.

Garden Waste
ONLY organic matter! This bin is perfect for hedge trimmings, leaves and retired flowers.

This bin has a weight limit of around 150kg/cubic metre therefore NO HEAVY WASTE ALLOWED.

Cleanfill/Heavy Waste
This is the big boy of our bin types. Please choose this bad boy bin if you have any bricks, concrete, cement, tiles and soil/dirt.

This bin has NO weight limit but can not be used to dispose of ANY general or garden waste.

So you guessed it! Sheila went for a General Waste bin as this allowed her to mix her garden waste and wood. She then booked a small little Cleanfill bin on the side to dispose of her soil. This was dropped off and picked up within 36 hours and Sheila is now a true believer! Bookabin is a waste munching bin booking machine!
