Due to popular demand, there is a new waste type available on our website!  The ‘Soil/Dirt’ waste type is to be selected only if you have 100% pure soil/dirt (no turf or contaminants). Please note: No other waste can be mixed in this bin, and additional charges will apply if other waste is placed in this bin.

So what are you waiting for?!  Simply go to www.bookabin.co.nz and book your skip bin online.  It’s easy and you will instantly receive an email confirmation of your delivery details upon completion of your booking.
