Bookabin provides a way for home owners to hire a skip bin for a short period of time. It can also be used by businesses who would rather not sign a longer term contract with a skip company, and just order a bin when they need it.

If you are a business and you want to remove waste, think first and foremost about recycling what you can before dumping the rest in a skip. Check out the Renew Waste Exchange to give you an idea of how to get rid of some of that junk in a positive way, visit http://www.renew.org.nz/. Renew Waste Exchange is a business to business transfer of unwanted materials, you can specify what you have available and produce a listing for others who may be looking for it. You can also search for materials that you may require.

Once you have recycled as much as you can, order your bin efficiently through the bookabin site, just enter your postcode to get a quote matching the requirements you have.

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

New Year - New You!

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

What do these two have in common?  Nothing really.  Oh I guess they do both start with the letter ‘B’, have four letters and end in the letter ’s’.  So why you ask have I decided to talk about the two?  Well, quite simply, with summer now here, what better thing to do after spending the day filling up a skip bin, then to have a wonderful bbq?  If you think about it ahead of time, you could invite your friends and family over early in they day to help you out filling up the bin, then enjoy the afternoon/evening together sharing a great bbq’d meal.  Sounds good to me.  Truly a win-win situation.  So get those steaks marinating, book a bin online for delivery and send out a blast txt inviting everyone over for the fun! 

Wonderful summer weather isn’t it! Gail force winds and rain = sitting inside staring out the window miserably. Instead, how about you give your house the once over. There might be an attic or basement that you have been meaning to clean out forever. When would be better than now? You can get it all done before the family comes over for Christmas and before you go away for New Years. If at the end of it, you have so much rubbish to throw away, then you may require a skip bin.
