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?

Yes, it’s that time of week again where the majority of us are back to grindstone.  Over the next few days, there is bound to be discussions around the workplace of what people are doing for the upcoming weekend.  What will I be doing you may ask?  It may not be too surprising (hence this post), but myself and my partner are hiring a skip bin so we can clean out the garage.  I can’t believe how much rubbish and just pure junk has been collected and stored over the years.  Sound like something you could/should be doing?  Well hop on over to www.bookabin.com.au and book your skip bin today!!!

Yes, it’s that time of year again.  Time to celebrate and have some good times with good ole Dad.  Don’t know what to do?  Looking to do something different?  Well why not hire a bin and help Dad get rid of some of the junk lying around the house?  It’s pretty simple really.  Visit bookabin.com.au, start by entering your post code, then follow the simple steps and you’ll receive an email with your booking details.  Won’t Pops be surprised?!  Just think of all the fun you’ll have!  This will be a day to be remembered for years to come!

Tasmanians generate approximately one tone of waste per person annually, so if we are not doing our bit to help the environment you can only imagine the amount of waste we will collate over the next ten years.

One way to reduce the quantity of rubbish we dump into our landfills is to recycle. By transforming waste materials into useable resources, recycling reduces landfill and conserves resources, provides a way to manage solid waste while reducing pollution, conserves energy, creates jobs and builds more competitive manufacturing industries.

Check out your pile of junk….some of the things that can be recycled include the following items:

• Clean dry clothing and material
• Car batteries without cracks
• Newspapers, brochures and magazines
• Milk, cream and juice cartons
• Cleaned glass bottles and jars
• Aluminum and steel cans
• PET, HDPE and PVC plastic
• Non waxed or plastic coated cardboard
