Materials And Waste Type

Skip bins can be used for the removal of multiple waste streams including Household Rubbish / Green Waste, Landscaping Debris, Construction & Demolition Waste Mixed Waste and Other Wastes. The cost of hiring Mixed Waste Skip Bins tends to be more expensive than the other waste stream Skip Bins due to the requirement of manual sorting of rubbish. Material that is difficult to recycle or must go to the Landfill may also increase the cost associated with disposal, which is reflected in the hire charge.

Bin Size

Although small skips tend to be less expensive than they are to rent; it may be prudent to use a bigger skip if you do not know how many items will come in and out of this size. Depending on how many deliveries and collections a customer has arranged, renting this larger-sized bin may end up saving them more money. Additionally, waste sites generally charge customers disposal fees per kilogram or per pound based on the overall weight of the waste; thus, if the heavy items are included in the bin, the rental prices for the bin may increase significantly. Therefore, customers should also consider using alternative methods of disposal for their heavier-weight items, to reduce the cost of their overall skip bin rental combination.

Hire Period

Every booking of Hire A Skip Bin includes a standard hire period, but we also offer additional extensions to extend the length of time you can rent the skip bin. If you do not apply for an extension and hold onto the skip bin for longer than what was agreed upon, then you may incur additional charges.
