Daylight savings has come and gone and sadly we wave goodbye to the fabulous summer.

Its prime time to book your bin on www.bookabin.co.nz.

While trying to take advantage of the last dry weather before it gets to wet and cold, now is a great time to be cleaning up outside the house in anticipation of hibernation which is close on the horizon.

Here are some things to remember…

Clean Fill for the rubble, concrete, bricks, sand etc.

Green Fill for anything that is green and organic.

Or

General Waste for the other bits and pieces you may have ready to throw out.

If you are not sure which type of bin you need for the rubbish you have try the “Live Chat” option on www.bookabin.co.nz and our friendly staff will give you the best options for your situation.

Following Part 1: What to do when Hiring a Bin here’s Part 2 What not to Do.

What not to Do:

1) Do not overload the skip bin! This is dangerous, may cause excess fees and commonly local regulations can mean the skip is not actually allowed to be transported.
2) Do not place hazardous materials in the bin. These include Asbestos, Solvents, Paints, Acids, Laboratory Waste, Oils, Grease traps etc.
3) Do not move the Bin.
4) Do not light fires in it. (Yes we know obvious, but some people do).
5) Do not put concrete in a General Waste Bin or vice versa.

If you are are unsure of any items you are disposing of, the best thing is to double check with your supplier. We will provide you with their contact details after you complete your booking on BookaBin.

There are a few things you should consider when you hire a bin to get rid of your waste/rubbish. So we’ve compiled a quick list of What to Do.

What to Do:

1) Plan ahead. How much do you need to dispose of? Will you require a larger bin? Is your waste quite heavy?
2) Where do you want the bin? Having the bin placed on your land makes it easier for all parties involved. If it is placed on Council or Public Land you may require a permit.
3) Get a quote for the next size up. Often it may be more competitively priced and you could save money!
4) Consider the location of the bin. Is it protected from the elements if the weather gets rough?
5) Get a few mates around to help you fill it.
6) Put heavy material at the bottom.
7) Get the bin placed as close to the rubbish as possible.
8) Ensure you have it long enough to fill the bin.
9) Book as far in advance as possible.

What Not to Do when Hiring a Bin will be up in a few days.
