The team at bookabin is fascinated with the ingenuity of the Americans during their current heatwave! They have been turining an everyday dumpster (Known in Australia as a Skip Bin) into pools…When you can get a 40yard dumpster for less than $600 for a month, thats a pretty cheap pool…especially if you charge a cover charge to all the neighbourhood kids.So this coming summer will you be hiring a skip bin to use as a make shift pool?We know it gets extremely hot in Australia over summer, will we be seeing any skip bin pools especially in the suburbs away from the ocean such as Queensland 4152, Carindale, Carina Heights, Carina and Camp Hill?However if you wish to use the bin for traditional purposes have a look at what bookabin has on offer in  your area.So what do you think??? Genius or Gross?

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.
