How To Get the Most Out of Your Mini Bin Hire

ALL ARTICLES ^  


Looking To Hire A Mini Bin?

 

When you have a considerable clean-up activity coming up, and you want to hire a skip bin in Adelaide from Metro Waste, what kind of skip bin size should you get? Are there restrictions when it comes to the weight of the skip bin? Are there efficient ways of filling it? To help you make the most of your mini bin hire, we are going to look at how you can efficiently fill your skip bin.

 


Select the right skip bin

 

It is essential to plan out how much skip space you need before making a hire. There are different sizes of skip bins available for hire. The prices also vary depending on the required cubic meterage. If your cleanup activity requires you to collect all items in your skip bin, begin by creating groups of elements according to the shape and size of the things. The grouping will help you determine what goes where and how you can best utilize the space.

 

 

Do not over-fill your mini bin.

 

When you load your skip bin, it is illegal to fill it over the rim. The government has placed this notice under the health and safety legislation. It is unlawful to add waste on a waste container above its limit. It is unsafe to overfill skip-bins; it can lead to fines.

 

 

Weight restrictions

 

There are no limitations as far as the weight of a skip bin is concerned. At Metro Waste, inquire about the type of skip bin you need, and we will advise on what works best for you.

 

 

Avoid air pockets

 

When using a skip bin in Adelaide, aim to use as much space as possible to minimize the air gaps. Approach packing in the same manner as playing a jigsaw puzzle. While you pack bulky items, place smaller pieces in the space between bulky items. An essential tip to use is to slot minor things in hollow objects like buckets and tubs.

 


Pack your skip bin efficiently

 

When packing your mini bin, start with the flat items like unwanted timber, plywood and metal sheets. Ensure that they point in the same direction. Next, add bulky items like household junk and old table tops. Cut large sections like large tree limbs to smaller chunks. For any furniture, remove the legs and arms, and for old appliances, disassemble them.

 

 

When packing lightweight items like old paperwork or green waste, place them on top of the pile. Finally, remember to distribute the weight of the waste to avoid the contents from spilling over during transportation.

 


Organize your rubbish

 

Before you hire a skip bin in Adelaide, you need to consider if you can sell, donate, or repurpose some of your rubbish. At Metro Waste, we help our customers to understand the need for conscious waste management.
