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!
