With the wind whipping through Auckland and Northland and the rain lashing closely behind, you could be in need of a skip bin for a quick outside tidy up.

Even though Northland famers will be dancing in the rain drops, wind gusts of over 60km an hour were recorded in Auckland at lunchtime today, bringing down power lines and generally messing things up.

If you have broken branches or half of your neighbors outdoor furniture setting floating in your pool, take advantage of the sharp rates still available on bookabin and get something organized for the break in the weather predicted this weekend.

Bookabin has suppliers in Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Manawatu, Taranaki, Wellington, Tasman, Canterbury, Otago, Southland, Bay of Plenty Gisborne and Hawkes Bay.

Just enter your postcode into the website and follow the prompts to get the best price available for the bin you require, when you want it for.

Options include General Waste Green Waste Clean Fill and Soil/Dirt.

If it is raining perhaps you would prefer to stay inside?

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.

I hope you have all prepared for the gloomy weather that is to set upon New Zealand in what is bound to be another dreary winter.

“What can I do to keep myself occupied?” you ask. Well one simple suggestion, is to hire a bin from bookabin and start cleaning out the hoards of junk around the house. What better project is there to do than to sort out all the knick knacks that you have somehow managed to collect over the years?

BookaBin is proud to announce the addition of a new member to the team. Richard Wake has joined the team last week coming onboard as our new Internet Marketing Manager.

Richard has a wealth of experience in this field and looks forward to continuing our websites dominance within the Search Engine arena.

At the same time we are saying good bye to Ben Young the previous Internet Marketing Manager whom is moving on to other opportunities.

We wish them both the best of luck!

BookaBin is an online marketplace, we connect buyers and sellers. Buyers are looking to hire a Bin at a competitive price. Sellers are looking to gain extra business at no additional cost. We simply bring the two parties together by providing customers with the best bin hire price from a local supplier.

As we have a number of suppliers and only connect the buyer with the most competitive skip hire rate, this encourages suppliers to list their best price to ensure they secure that order. Suppliers are jostling for first position. On the flipside they are also able to reduce their overheads as we cover marketing & order processing costs, all the supplier needs to do is receive and service the order.

BookaBin also enables Bin Suppliers to offer one off specials to clear excess stock or to only service orders on certain days. This lowers the price threshold as at any one time one of the suppliers in your area may have excess stock.

This is how BookaBin has created a virtual marketplace which delivers great skip hire rates at the same service level you would normally receive.

We just wanted to wish all our customers and suppliers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It has been a fun and challenging year for us at BookaBin but we look forward to 2008.

We will be operating all the way through, so no worries you can still order a bin. We will resume blogging in the New Year! So catch you real soon….
