What size skip bin do I need?

Choose the size of your skip bin based on the amount of waste you must dispose of. Different sizes are available for different types of materials. Use a small or medium-sized skip for household waste like cardboard and plastics. A larger bin will be necessary for furniture, garden waste, or construction materials.

Skip Bins & Safety

It's important to consider safety when you hire a skip bin. If the bin is to be placed on the road ensure the bin can be placed in an area where it visible to and does not obstruct passing traffic. Do not overload the skip, as this can be dangerous. It's the law not to fill the skip above the rim, and any waste that is not below the rim must be removed.

Finding the right size skip bin for your project can save you time, money, and effort. Contact our team today for advice on selecting the right size skip bin hire in Newcastle for your needs.

Is a council permit required for a skip bin?

In some cases, you will need a council permit to hire a skip bin in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. This is usually required if the bin is placed on public land, a roadway, footpath or nature strip. To check if you need a permit and to apply for one, contact your local council office or 1300 Skip Bins.
