There really is only one place to go for the easiest, quickest and most customer friendly website in Australia for hiring a skip bin.  Where you ask?  Simply type in www.bookabin.com.au. 

As you’ll see right from the beginning, all you have to do is start by entering your postcode, then follow the simple step by step process to having your skip bin delivery and collection confirmation emailed directly to you.

So save yourself some time and money, and the next time you need a skip bin, think bookabin.com.au.

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.

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?

Recently we have had customers looking to get rid of pure Soil / Dirt waste. Bookabin has listened to your feedback and will be adding the following new waste type in some serviced areas:

Soil / Dirt skip bin: 100% pure soil / dirt (no turf or contaminants)

Due to disposal options, and to keep the price low for this type of waste bin, no other waste can be mixed in this skip. If by chance there is other waste in the bin it will cost the suppliers more to dispose of the waste and additional charges will apply to the customer.

If you are interested in finding out how much it will cost to hire a Soil / Dirt skip bin, please enter your postcode at www.bookabin.com.au. The website will present you with the waste types available in your area.

Currently many people are hurting financially, yet most of us have a goldmine of unused items in our houses. The trick is to turn this trash and treasure into cash before you rent a skip bin, and just throw it all away.

Deciding what is trash / treasure:
1. Is it beautiful or do I use it?
2. Have I used it in the last 12 months?

If you answer NO to either of these questions, put it in the Treasure Trash pile!

These goods can be sold to generate a bit more moola, there are many ways to sell these unwanted items.

Online Auctions: There’s no doubt you get top dollar from online auctions. But the trouble is that they take a lot of effort. You’ve got to photograph each item to be auctioned, list it online, answer questions, source packaging, visit the post office to send it, and provide feedback. For valuable items this is worth it, for small items, it’s not.

Garage Sales: These are a great way to get rid of a large pile of junk. Unfortunately, they have a bad reputation. Inexperienced sellers think everyone who turns up will be a dealer and/or rude and unpleasant. The reality is that the vast majority of customers aren’t like that.

Auction houses: If your furniture, jewellery, art or other collectibles are valuable, you might want to sell them through a local auction house. But beware that the buyers are dealers and you’ll get wholesale value, less commissions.

OP Shops: Before you take your trash to the op shop, do a quick search to see what things are selling for. For example, granny’s ugly old 1950s sofa has become “mid-century” in a collector’s lexicon and may be worth hundreds of dollars.

Local notice boards: Another way to sell items is with cards or leaflets in your local supermarket or on other local notice boards.

And don’t forget ………Telling your friends! You never know what they have been eyeing up without you realizing!

………..Now the goods you have left over….. you will need a skip bin for all that junk! Book online to save time, visit www.bookabin.com.au
