Skip Bin Acquisition Can Be Cheaper than That

18 July 2016 by Randy De Knegt

Skip bins are fast becoming the most convenient waste removal alternative most households, institutions, and various establishments have. Skip bins can either be hired or bought. For home use, you may consider hiring skip bins for activities such as renovations, remodeling, landscaping, or even small construction projects. Most people often think that skip bin acquiring is an expensive undertaking. This is not necessarily true. There are many ways you can ensure that your skip bin acquisition does not result in an expensive and unnecessary ordeal. Here are some tips on how you can ensure you get cheap skip bins anywhere.

Order the right bins

Skip bins come in a variety of sizes ranging from the small ones fit for simple domestic use to the large scale sizes used in large institutions and construction sites. When hiring or buying skip bins, ensure that you get the most appropriate size. Getting a smaller skip bin may result in the need for more removal services if it fills up quickly. This can considerably drive up your costs. A large bin, whereas good, may be an unnecessary extra cost on your charge because it was beyond sufficient. It all boils down to planning well in advance before contacting the skip bin hire or sales people.

Use the bins correctly

Many people forget to note the various material recommendations for the various skip bins they order. Some bins are recommended for construction materials alone, others for metals, others for home-grade waste, and so on. Always note the recommended waste and adhere to the recommendation. Many people end up with hefty fines and charges for simply not noting this small detail with skip bins.

Permits

Another factor unknown to many people is that various councils charge fees for placement of skip bins in various places deemed public. For instance, you may be charged fees or a fine if you place your skip bin on or next to a road, or if the collection truck has to obscure a public area to access your bin. Instead, have the bins directly inside your property. You can also use the wait service where the truck collecting your waste waits for your previously filled waste bin to be loaded on a skip on the truck. Permits and fees alone can drive up the cost of cheap skip bins considerably if you are not careful.

Re-Cycle, re-use, or donate

An easier way of ensuring you only require smaller skip bins or cheap skip bins is by trying to minimize on your waste output. During construction and renovations, you can recycle or re-use most of what would be waste. This means you will need smaller skips, or fewer pickups, all which lower the cost of your skip bin acquisition process.

Finally, it is always good to shop around and get more quotes before settling on one provider. Ensure that the cheap skip bins you get are truly cheap overall.
