Skip Bins - When and How You Should Use Them

< Previous | Main | Next >

27th Nov 2019




Skip bins are a great way of getting rid of your commercial and residential waste. They can be used on a number of different occasions, but many people are not fully aware of when to use a skip bin and how to use it properly. Read on o learn about when the right moment to hire a skip bin is as well as what the perfect size for you and your disposal needs is. 

 

 

  • Renovating your home

 

Renovating your home is a period that implies a lot of waste and rubbish. This is the time when you take out your old flooring, as well as kitchen, furniture and other things. All of this requires an efficient and prompt way of getting rid of your garbage. As renovating usually implies large amounts of garbage as well as large items, you should carefully consider a bigger skip bin, which will be able to hold all of the rubbish. A large skip bin also implies that you leave the access to your home free and spacious enough for the skip bin to fit without disrupting the traffic flow. 

 

  • Moving house

 

Another occasion when a skip bin can come in handy is when you move house. If you have lived in a particular house for some time, it usually means piling up many things, which become rubbish over time. Our home often becomes cluttered with many unwanted or unnecessary things. People usually hang onto these items because they think they will need and use them sometimes in future. This is when a skip bin pays off. You can fill it up with things that you definitely don’t need in your new home. If you haven’t used an item for years, it means you won’t use it in the future either. 

 

  • Clearing out the attic

 

Clearing out the attic is definitely one of the great uses for a mini skip bin. We tend to keep some things we don’t currently use on the attic and over the years it can become quite a crowded place. Attic usually functions as a dumping ground for old appliances, toys, furniture and clothes. When you decide it’s high time to get rid of all the clutter in your attic, you can search online for skip bin quotes and hire a perfect one for you. You can also sort the items: things for charity, things for recycling, things for a yard sale and things that go into the skip bin. It’s a great way to make some changes and declutter your attic. 

 

  • Clearing out the garage

 

Similarly, like the attic, the garage is also a place where we tend to keep many things we don’t use often. Instead of using the garage for what we are actually supposed to – parking the car, we tend to use it as a storage for old and broken things as well as the things we don’t use at the moment. As things pile up, at some point we realize that the garage is too crowded and we barely have enough space to park our car. When we reach this point, it is time to hire a skip bin and clear out the garage. Depending on the size of your garage and the amount and size of the items you want to get rid of, you can choose the rights size of the skip bin accordingly. 

 

  • Spring cleaning

 

When spring comes, many people use this time for so-called spring cleaning. It is the time when we throw out the garbage and rubbish from our home. Every family member chooses the things they don’t longer use and need or that are no longer functioning and disposes of the stuff. Spring cleaning usually means clearing out the garbage from your attic, basement, garage, garden and house as well and it requires quite a big skip bin. 

 

Skip bins are quite useful when it comes to getting rid of unwanted rubbish. You should keep in mind some basic rules that say you should put larger and lighter things on the bottom of the skip bin and that you should dismantle the larger items before putting them into the skip bin.
