The wait is over! Bookabin™ is proud to report back on some amazing Bro-Vember findings…tried and tested and loved by Kiwis!

Firstly, for all of those that took a friend as a date to the Big Boys Toys event and took advantage of some extra bonding time with their ‘BFF’, good on ya Mate! If unfortunately this would have broken the bank and therefore you were unable to go, not to worry! Bookabin has some great ideas for pocket friendly bonding time with your special someone.

How about inviting the boys around for a BBQ? I’m sure in this summer sun anyone could be convinced into taking a bit of relaxation time to enjoy a cold one.

There is also the good old golf game; this is a great way to celebrate ‘Boy Time’ while wearing collared shirts.

With that being said, the bin for this week is a Cleanfill/Hardfill Bin. This guy is the manliest bin our suppliers have in stock! Not only does it accept hard heavy duty waste, it can also take soil and sand should you want to keep the beach at the beach and not in your back yard. This bin also has no weight limit, therefore there won’t be any extra weight issues (making it FAR from a lady bin!).

So why not gather the boys, book a bin, fill a chilly bin with ice and beer and have a cold one before you get into the heavy renovations. After you have finished with moulding neat little foot impressions out of cement for your mates, simply pop any left over concrete into your Clean Fill bin and we will pick it up!

Keen to get started? Simply pop onto our website www.bookabin.co.nz and enter your postcode! You can then select ‘Clean Fill’ as your bin type, and before you can say ‘Dave’s my mate’ your bin will arrive.

Easy!

Known for their windy weather, isn’t it nice for Wellingtonians to know that the rest of NZ’s inhabitants have been experiencing a bit of a “blow out”?

With the wild and crazy weather we are currently experiencing, some of us are in need of a skip bin to rid ourselves of the garden destruction that has occurred.

What type of skip bin hire would you choose? That depends on the waste type you have.

Loads of broken branches and extra leaves? Anything organic that has come to grief will go into a Green Waste Receptacle.

Old shed fallen down? A General Waste Bin is the way to go. Please note, this bin does have a weight limit 150kg per 1 cubic metre so maybe think twice about loading it up with all the loose roof tiles. A Cleanfill Bin has no weight limit and can be filled with concrete, bricks, clay, rocks, sand, rubble and dirt, so it would be your best option for heavy waste.

If you are searching from the Wellington area take a look at www.bookabin.co.nz. Especially for you this week we have local suppliers best rates in: Dalefield, Carterton, Kaori, Levin, Lower Hutt, Ohau Horowhenua, Otaki, Paekakariki, Papawai, Paraparaumu, Porirua, Pukerua Bay, Upper Hutt, Waikanae, Wainuiomata, and Wellington Central.

As you are probably looking at your pile of waste right now and wondering what sort of bin you will need, here are a few things to consider…

A General Waste Bin and Green Waste Bin have weight limits of 150kgs per cubic meter in size (i.e a 9 cubic metre skip bin can hold up to 1350kgs of waste). Suppliers are charged tip fees based on weight. The limit of 150kgs per cubic meter for these waste types is the average industry weight limit. If your bin exceeds this weight limit suppliers may charge you additional tipping fees. To give you an example of weight limits, 1 cubic meter of dirt weighs about 1.5 tonnes, exceeding the weight limit of a 9 cubic meter General Waste and Green Waste skip bin. (NOTE: There are no weight restrictions for Clean Fill skip bins.)

Skip bins should not be filled any higher than the top of its sides and should be filled in such a manner as to prevent spillage of material from the skip bin either while stationary or in transit. (Suppliers face prosecution for unsafe or overweight loads.)  You cannot put any hazardous waste into the skip bins. To dispose of this you need to contact your local council. Hazardous chemicals include Solvents, Paints, Acids, Laboratory Waste, Oils, Grease traps etc.
