It is a very busy one for bookabin as it is the perfect weekend for hiring a bin. The weekend is a long one, so for all of those who are not going away before winter really hits then how about having a cleanout, tidy up the garden and/or dispose of all the rubbish left over from the renovation. bookabin.co.nz has 4 different bin types: general waste bin, cleanfill bin, green garden waste bin and a clean soil and dirt bin. Have a look at the FAQ page for more details on what can and can not be disposed of in each bin type.

Quite frequently, we receive questions via our Live Chat regarding which bin should be hired.  Here is a breakdown to help clarify:

General Waste - typically anything involved with a “general cleanup around the house and section” that is neither liquid nor of a hazardous nature

Cleanfill / Hardfill - suitable if you have any of the following: concrete, soil, sand, clay, rocks, rubble, bricks, sand, asphalt or ceramic tiles

Green Waste - suitable for grass, leaves, tree trimmings, small branches and/or other organic materials

Soil / Dirt - only suitable if you have 100% pure soil / dirt (no turf or contaminants). Please note that no other waste can be mixed in this bin.  Additional charges will apply if other waste is placed in this bin

Illegal and irresponsible dumping of rubbish is ruining New Zealand’s clean green image, and unfortunately it happens more than we know.

Places like Kaipara have seen an increase in rubbish been disposed of in ditches, down banks etc. Kaipara’s Councillor suggests that irresponsible dumping has increased due to the recession; which is unfortunate as it uses a lot of the rate payer’s money to clean up.

So if you want to get rid of you rubbish responsibly, log onto www.bookabin.co.nz for the best skip bin hire prices in New Zealand. We have suppliers located all over the country, and on bookabin you can choose from 4 waste types and bin sizes ranging from 2m³ to 30m³

bookabin.co.nz - Your one stop place for all your skip hire needs!

Bookabin is adding a dirt and soil option! At the moment we have these options available:

• Cleanfill - which is for heavy waste, such as concrete, bricks, tiles etc
• General Waste - which is for things such as wood, old furniture, metal, etc (note: you can also dispose of Green Waste in the General Waste bin)
• Green Waste - this bin is for anything green and from the garden (leaves, grass, etc.)

Having separate bins for different waste types ensures that the waste you are disposing of ends up at the right place.  This is great for recycling, which I am sure is something we all want to make a conscious effort with.  Also, if you mix the wrong waste types together you can end up with problems such as the supplier not been able to lift the bin, and none of us want that!

If you are in doubt, please send us an email, or chat to us on our live chat function.  It’s simple and the fastest way to get a response!

This is a common question that our customer service team receives through the Live Chat feature on the website.  And the answer really depends on the type(s) of waste that you will be disposing of.  On some occasions, you may require two bins.  If you have a look at our frequently asked questions page, you will see the different types of waste that can go in the bins:

• General Waste is typically anything involved with a “general cleanup around the house and section” that is neither liquid nor of a hazardous nature
• Use a Cleanfill / Hardfill skip bin, if you have any of the following:
  Concrete, soil, sand, clay, rocks, rubble, bricks, sand, asphalt, ceramic tiles
• Use a Green Waste skip bin, if you have any of the following:
  Grass, leaves, tree trimmings, small branches and other organic materials.

Hopefully this helps clear up some of your questions.  In the event that you still require further information, please feel free to contact us via our Live Chat and our friendly customer support team will be happy to assist you.
