The bookabin website has a great live chat function. During business hours you can click on the live chat button which is located on every page of the website. One of our customer services staff will be able to help you with any question you have.

To help you out now, we will provide you with 2 of the most popular questions asked, along with the answers.

1) How do I get a quote? - To get a price and to order your skip, just follow the steps on the homepage. Start by entering your postcode on the homepage and follow the process by entering in your bin type, size and the dates that you require it for. Bookabin will then calculate and present you with a price matching your requirements. If you like the price you can book and pay online.

2) What waste type do I need? - If you have general light waste you will need a general waste bin – green garden waste can be disposed of in a general waste bin as well. If you have green garden waste only, you will need a green waste bin. If you have concrete, soil, bricks, tiles or any heavy waste you will require a cleanfill waste bin.

Lastly, if you have pure soil and dirt, you will need a 100% pure soil and dirt bin.

Due to popular demand, there is a new waste type available on our website!  The ‘Soil/Dirt’ waste type is to be selected only if you have 100% pure soil/dirt (no turf or contaminants). Please note: No other waste can be mixed in this bin, and additional charges will apply if other waste is placed in this bin.

Well it certainly has not been the best week in weather. It is safe to say that NO ONE has been having a ‘Good Hair Day’ thanks to the intense winds and constant rain. But rest assured, this should ‘blow over’ (haha) shortly leaving us with some stunning blue skies and a skip full worth of garden work! These wild winds have bought down a couple of the old greenies outside and with the combination of rain it has ensured nothing on ground is solid. Does this sound like a problem your having?

There really is only so many times you can make that old puzzle or press ‘Deal’ on that Solitaire game, so why not get into it before you have the neighbours at your front door complaining about hedges!

Just a heads up, if you are on the market looking for a skip bin hire, please be aware of our waste types:

General Waste Bin - This bin is for all the renovators out there or families who know its time to say goodbye to the years of collected junk. A General Waste Bin is not suitable for ANY electronic equipment, mattresses, old tyres or asbestos. You may only dispose of general household waste that is not heavy nor of a hazardous nature (including liquids). For more information on hazardous waste, click here. This bin has a weight limit. You can not mix heavy waste in this bin which will force you to exceed your weight allowance of 150kg/cubic metre. NB: What you put in your skip generally goes to landfill, so only put solid waste in it – dry and non-hazardous materials. Drain all fluid out of non-recyclable items and clean them before putting them in the skip, to prevent leaks.

Cleanfill/Hardfill Bin – This is the big boy of the bin types. You would be after this bin type if you have any bricks, concrete, soil or tiles to dispose of. Please be aware that by selecting this bin type you CAN NOT dispose of any other waste type (such as general rubbish).

Green/Garden Bin – This is your bin match should you have any garden/organic waste to dispose of. Only garden trimmings, trees, leaves and plants can be placed in this bin. You CAN NOT dispose of any other waste type in this bin (such as general rubbish or heavy waste). This bin also has a weight limit. By disposing of soil alongside your garden trimmings you WILL exceed the weight allowance which will incur hefty excess weight fees.

Please be tidy Kiwis! Try not mix too many waste types into one bin as this will need to be sorted into recyclables and items which will be placed on a landfill. We all want to reduce the amount of waste that is ‘dumped’ so let us work together to make this a better place!
