Do I Need A Skip Bin?

Chilli Bins Skip Bins • May 20, 2024

If you’re disposing of regular household waste, a normal bin will do. But if you want to get rid of more than that, perhaps because you’re having a big cleanout, then you need a skip bin.


Practically speaking, skip bins are just large bins. They provide extra volume for all your rubbish.


Plus, they’re super convenient. Skip bin hire companies will deliver and collect your bin for you, so you don’t have to lift a finger.


A standard wheelie bin is 0.250 metres cubed. That’s about enough to last a family of four a week or so but it’s totally insufficient for bigger projects.


Fortunately, skip bins are much larger. Our smallest option is more than eight times the size at 2 metres cubed. And we have skips that are up to 15 metres cubed, the same volume as 60 wheelie bins!

When Are Skip Bins Essential?

Here are some of the situations in which skip bins are essential:

When It’s The End Of Your Tenancy

Whether you’re a residential or commercial tenant, hiring a skip is often necessary at the end of your tenancy. You need extra bin space to get rid of all the rubbish you accumulated over the preceding months and years.


If you are a householder, there are all sorts of items you might want to get rid of. Old packaging, furniture you no longer need, and stacks of paperwork all need to go.


The same is true for companies moving out of offices. You need extra space for old equipment, desks, files, and clutter that won’t be coming with you to your next location.


The great thing about skip bin hire is that you can get rid of all your waste in a single trip to the depot. You don’t have to drive there and back eight times to get rid of everything.


Moreover, you can avoid hefty fines and penalties for leaving rubbish on the owner’s property. Skip hire makes it easy to remove all of it.

When You Have A Lot Of Garden Waste

Garden waste is bulky. Just mowing your lawn can easily result in enough clippings to fill an entire wheelie bin. Re-landscaping or removing bushes, logs, weeds, stones and trees requires even more space.


Again, hiring a skip can help. These offer sufficient volume for even the biggest residential jobs. Plus, skip hire companies can sort garden waste for you, reusing it where possible.

When You Want To Clear Out Your Home

Whether you’re spring cleaning or want to stop hoarding, hiring a skip is a great way to get rid of everything and start again. No matter how much junk you have lying around in your home, skip bins have the capacity to get rid of it.

You’re Renovating Your Home

Home renovations can also generate tremendous volumes of waste. Kitchen cabinets, shower cubicles and bathtubs all take up a lot of space.


Again, skips can help. They are large and strong enough to handle the waste disposal requirements of even the biggest projects.

When You’re Laying A New Driveway

Lastly, skips are helpful when you are laying a new driveway. They make it easy to dispose of your old paving and install new surfaces.


Moreover, skips have metal walls that can accommodate even the heaviest aggregate. Therefore, hiring a skip could stop you from damaging your regular bin.

Queensland Skip Hire You Can Trust

Skip bins are essential for removing bulky waste from your property. By collecting all your unwanted materials in one place, they eliminate the need to make multiple trips to the rubbish tip.
