It seems a lot of city councils are making big moves to introduce an ‘e-waste’ initiative, as the e-waste rubbish heaps grow 3 times faster than normal household waste. E-waste also has a lot of hazardous waste such as lead and mercury, which we do not want to expose into water ways. For more information on how and where to dispose of your e-waste check out your council websites.

If you are wanting to dispose of household waste, log onto ww.bookabin.com.au to find the best price we have available for a skip bin in your area.

This is a common question we receive here at bookabin.com.au.  To assist, we have updated our FAQ’s section to help make your skip bin delivery as smooth as possible.  Here are a few tips:

• Your drive should be at least a minimum 3 metres wide
• There shouldn’t be any tree branches hanging in the way
• Make sure any power lines are high enough for the truck to make it through
• The area where the skip bin is to be placed should be clear of any debris
• Contact your supplier (information is on your confirmation email) to discuss any potential delivery/pickup issues

Hopefully this should clear things up a bit, however if you still have questions before you book your skip bin, simply click the Live Chat option on the website and we will be happy to assist you further.

You may not equate the two of these right off the bat, but when thinking about the ingredients, you’ll find they shouldn’t be treated as normal rubbish.  Take nail polish for example.  When you are done with it (empty or not), do you simply throw it in the rubbish bin? For most people, the answer is probably ‘yes’.  Unfortunately, this is the wrong answer.  Have a look at this interesting article for more information which also includes a link to other potential items that cannot be disposed of  or recycled normally:

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.
