Doesn’t it seem like it was the New Year just yesterday? How is it possibly mid - February already?

This means summer is coming to an end and before we know it, the wet, windy, freezing and snow winter will be upon us.

No sleep in or lazy day off this year people. Waitangi Day is on Sunday February 6th.

Those of you who were hoping to get into clean up mode this weekend will need to book your bin today (Thursday) so not to be disappointed. If you have left it until now, it’s not toooo late but do try tomorrow as well as Saturday as a drop off date to compare prices.

It is a high demand time, especially with the weather improving, so you may want to get to the beach this weekend and save the big clean up for next weekend – booking your bin ahead of time will secure you a better price as the cheapest stock books out first.

When you place your bin booking at www.bookabin.co.nz you nominate the dates you need the skip bin for. Most hires last between 3 and 5 days, but you are able to book for up to 28 days if you need a skip bin for a longer period of time. The price that www.bookabin.co.nz  quotes includes keeping the skip bin for the number of days specified as well as the delivery, collection and disposal of the waste (up to 150kg per 1 cubic meter).
 If unforeseen circumstances mean that you have not finished with the skip bin on the nominated collection date, you should advise the supplier as early as possible. Provided the skip bin has not been booked out on another job, they can usually be flexible.

Summer is certainly on its way - and a lot earlier than usual. In the Southern Hemisphere summer is not meant to start until the 1st of December - it is great to see such beautiful weather in October and even better that it is carrying on to November. Hopefully we will have a clear evening for Guy Fawkes for once!
