What Size Skip Bin Do I Need?

Posted on Saturday, October 29th, 2022

Skip bins are not a one size fits all- you will need to order based on the job. Do you have general household waste? Are you doing a massive garden clean-up? Perhaps you’re on a work construction site. Every job is different, order only what you need to save your hard-earned cash. This article will explain what skip bin is appropriate for you, and the cost structure provided at Bonza Bins skip bin hire service. 

How do you choose the bin size? 

Always discuss your skip bin job requirements before ordering your bin. Skip bins are measured in cubic metres. Estimating is no easy feat, however, skip bin professionals will help you select the most appropriate size, and prepare a contingency plan for your waste removal job. 

 

As a general guide, one cubic metre is approx a standard trailer (6×4) load of rubbish. 

 

To determine if you will require a light, or heavy weight size skip bin consider the below.

Skip Bin Job Requirements

Still unsure what size you may need? We’ve put together a job comparison to provide some more perspective. 

 

Bathroom renovations require the collection of tiles, cabinetry and maybe even a bathtub. For this job, typically 3M3 is a good size. 

 

Small house moves require a 3M3 skip bin to facilitate general household waste and white goods. If you are downsizing, you may want to consider the large house move sizing option. 

 

Large house moves typically require 4-8M3 sized skip bin. This size is suitable for large amounts of household waste, furniture and white goods. 

 

Green waste removal typically requires a 2M3-4M3 sized skip bin. For an average sized garden clean up, a 2M3 skip bin is suitable. However, consider what you’re discarding – do you have long tree branches? Large plants? We recommend breaking down your large green waste to get the most out of the skip bin capacity. 

 

Full house removals require comprehensive consultation with your skip bin provider. This job may require multiple 10M3 skip bins. This option is suitable for deceased estate, and commercial estate cleanouts. 

Bin Overflow 

Skip bin overflow is a major hazard, and common issue for customers who have ordered the wrong size bin for the job. Unfortunately, if the skip bin is overflowing, the bin can not be collected by the service. The customer must remove overhanging items before collection. 

 

If your bin is overflowing, contact your bin provider to discuss a plan of action.
