How to book a bin or receive a quote through www.bookabin.co.nz.

We receive a lot of queries from customers wanting a quote or to book a bin. The process is very simple. Firstly you need to enter in your postcode in on our home page, then follow the process by entering in all your details such as the bin type (if you need help determining what type of bin you need – have a look at the FAQ page, if you are still unsure chat to one of our friendly team members via the live chat function), then you can also choose which size you need, (what we have available is what presents). Lastly you choose the dates that you require the bin to be delivered and picked up.  Bookabin will then present you with a quote. This quote includes everything, unless you exceed the weight allowance or dispose of bad or hazardous waste (again, our FAQ page will advise of what is classed as this).

If you like the quote you can book and pay online through our secure payment system.  As soon as the order is processed, you will receive a confirmation email with all of your suppliers details so you can contact them directly if need be.

So happy booking and feel free to contact us during booking process – we are here to help.

Earlier this year the Auckland City Council started a trial of recycling in the central business district. Bins have been placed at 22 sites throughout the city, mainly at transport gateways like the Auckland Ferry Terminal and Britomart.

This is supporting the Ministry for the Environment’s campaign - Love New Zealand - to encourage recycling in public places.

However, if you are not from Auckland or can not get into the CBD, why not order a bin from BOOKABIN, and this way the bin comes to you?!

Simply log onto www.bookabin.co.nz, you then enter your postcode, bin type, bin size and the dates you want it for. Bookabin will then generate a quote for you, if you like the quote (which you will) you can book the bin and sit back and wait for it to be delivered.

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!

You know it! Where there is a blog, there is a way and YES we have managed to incorporate Moustaches and Bins into the same category!

For all those lovely gentleman (or gentle ladies) out there sprouting those little facial hairs which they hope to soon grow into a world class Mo, we have your back! Support all the way my friends. And when the sad time should come (usually around December) that it is no longer ‘cool’ to have a Mo, Bookabin will be here for all your grooming needs.

Should you have a Repuntzel Moustache reaching to the floor from a 9 story high building, you may need to look into other disposal methods of the excess hair. Our suggestion: Booking a Green Waste bin! This bin type is perfect for all your ‘Organic Matter’ such as leaves, plants, tree or moustache trimmings.

And here it is; we have made the link between Moustaches and Garden Waste bins!

With that being said, this week is GREEN WEEK in Mo-Vember! (It makes you picture a Green Moustache, a sporting look for a Leprechaun). This may go slightly against all of those throwing out old household items for In-Organic day but what about those who have Organic waste?

If you have any organic matter which you wish to dispose of, pop online to our website www.bookabin.co.nz and enter in your postcode. Select ‘Garden Waste’ and follow the steps! Before your Mo will even grow, a bin will be dropped off in your front lawn for all your gardening needs.

Tune in next week for some more whacky adventures which can take place in November… Including Bro-Vember and other exciting ideas.
