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!

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!
