Skip Bins for Garden Waste Removal
Does your garden need some work? Do you have some overgrown shrubs that need trimming or lawns that need mowing or a tree that keeps dropping leaves in your driveway and really needs a few branches sawn off?
We can all find ourselves guilty of putting off gardening duties: it’s time consuming and worst of all – it makes a big mess! Even if we find the time to get out the mower, pruners or saw, we dread carrying all those twigs and branches out to the verge where they will remain an eyesore until a collection date.
Hiring a skip bin can be a great way to manage the mess after giving your garden a much needed makeover. Not only are skip bins convenient, they’re also economical and when you book through Bonza Bins you can be assured they will be as environmentally friendly as possible too. So what kind of skip bin should you get for your next gardening job?
Green Waste Skip Bins
The skip bin you’ll need for your garden waste is a Green Waste skip bin. This bin is the most appropriate for light waste such as lawn clippings, shrubs, small branches, leaves, palm fronds and tree trunks and stumps smaller than 50cm in length and 30cm in diameter. Bonza Bins offers several different sized bins, depending on the size of the job at hand, and how much waste you expect will be produced.
Save Yourself a Hassle
Hiring a skip bin is a great way to take the hassle out of green waste removal during a big gardening job. Getting a skip bin from Bonza Bins not only gives you an appropriately sized vessel to hold all of that green waste while you’re pruning and trimming, but our team will even dispose of it for you. This means you won’t have to be staring at a mess of twigs and leaves on your front verge waiting for a pick-up, it will be taken away as soon as you’re done.
When you hire a skip bin, you can say goodbye to several trips to the tip and using a heap of plastic bags to keep all the waste together: a skip bin gives you one central location for all the mess so it can be easily disposed of. All of our bins come fitted with drop down ramps so you can easily walk the waste in with a wheelbarrow. This saves a lot more time than collecting everything by hand or in bags and trying to stuff it into your regular bins.
A Green Solution for your Green Waste
At Bonza Bins, we are committed to working towards a greener future. That’s why our skip bins are covered and your waste will be brought back to recycling centres or transfer stations where it can be sorted and recycled where possible. We aim to recycle as much as we possibly can, and green waste can be easily recycled to lessen the burden on landfills. Most facilities will mulch the waste, and that mulch can then be used back in the community in local parks and beautification projects.

A question that we get asked all the time by our customers is what size skip bin they will need for their waste. Here is a handy guide to answer all your project questions.
Estimating is not easy. All our bins are measured in cubic metres (mᶟ). One cubic metre is approximately one standard trailer load. If you are unsure of what size bin that you need, we recommend going one size larger. People often underestimate the amount of rubbish they have. It is cheaper to get a bigger bin than having the cost of a second bin delivered.
As a guide:
Small bathroom renovation – approximately 3 to 4mᶟ
Small household cleanup – about 4mᶟ
Large household cleanup (including furniture) – recommend a 6mᶟ or above
Kitchen renovation – dependent on size but approximately a 4 to 6mᶟ
Please refer to Bin sizes for photos and dimensions of bins.
At Bonza Bins we endeavour to recycle as much waste as possible.
When you about hiring a skip bin, you will often be asked what type of waste is going into the bin. This allows us to make a judgement on what would be the best place to take the filled skip bin to, so as much as possible is recycled.
Waste such as sand, bricks, pavers, concrete and roof tiles are easy to recycle. Filled skip bins are taken to a recycling facility which specialises in this type of waste. These can be crushed and be made into road base, for drainage and more.
Greens are another easily recyclable type of waste. Most waste facilities have mulchers which mulch the green waste. Council tips will use this mulch within the local community eg. parks, verges and beautification projects. Private waste facilities will either sell mulch to other business to make their own type of mulch, landscapers and homeowners. Often if there is a glut they will be happy for you to bring a trailer and take it away!!
Mattress have up til recently been a major problem, with all of them going straight to landfill as there was no way of recycling them. Recently a company called Garbologie has opened in the suburb of O’Connor. They receive bed mattress and then break them down into their various components. Metal springs are sold to scrap metal dealers and later smelted to make new steel. Polyurethane foam which is found in some mattresses is in high demand. It is bundled together and sold to companies who the re-use it. Unfortunately some components do not have a ready mark and have to go to landfill.
When a mixed waste bin is taken to a waste transfer station, it is usually sorted. The items that are recyclable are taken out by a variety of means. This can be by people on a “picking belt”, sifter which remove sand and more.
Back in May 2014, we were approached by award winning building company – D.A. Burke builders to assist in the renovation/modification of a home to assist a family in Batemen affected by Rett Syndrome.
This project has now started and we are proud to be to help by providing a skip bin for the duration of the project at little cost.
What is Rett Syndrome?
Addison suffer from Rett Syndrome which is a development disorder found mainly in girls. A child with Rett Syndrome will usually be born healthy and then a 6-18 months there is a stagnation in skills and development. The most severe aspect of Rett Syndrome is the inability of the body to perform movement.
The current bathroom in Addison’s house is completely unsuitable for someone with a disability and a renovation is one step in making life easier for her family. The entire bathroom renovation has been made possible by generous donations of time, goods and services.
The type of modification which will assist Addison and her family includes:
All the waste from the bathroom renovation will be placed into one of our skip bins and taken away once the project is finished.
If you would like to be involved with this project please call us on 93317271 or D.A. Burke builders on 9582 9977.
We wish Addison and her family all the best for the future.
The WA State Government as part of the 2014-2015 state budget announced an increase in the Landfill Levy from 2015. The levy increase brings WA rates into line with South Australia and Victoria, while still being half of that of NSW. The rate will also continue to increase in WA to at least 2019.
The Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act (WARR Levy Act) was initially introduced in 2007. This is the first increase in the levy since 2010. The landfill levy is applied to all waste received at metropolitan landfills and metropolitan waste received at landfills outside the metropolitan area.
The key purpose of the Landfill Levy is to set the price of landfill so that alternatives such as recycling are more cost competitive. Environment Minister Albert Jacob recently stated that WA had one of the worst recycling rates in Australia and making it more expensive to dump was vital to reversing this. The second objective is to generate funds for a range of environmental purposes. A quarter of the forecasted $202 miilion revenue in the next 4 years will be used to fund recycling programs.
The increase in the landfill levy has had a number of critics. One of WA’s biggest builders, Dale Alcock has stated that it would add between $1000 and $1500 onto the cost of a new house.
Although Mr Alcock agreed WA’s recycling rates needed to lift, he said the Government’s handling of the changes had been clumsy and there were “smarter” ways to reduce landfill.
“It purely is a revenue grab,” he said. “You can argue this is about changing industry and industry has to get on board and put less waste to landfill”.
“Maybe try working with industry rather than just whacking it over the head.”
The other problem that we believe will occur is an increase in illegal dumping of waste. As the prices increase to hire a skip bin or to get rid of waste, it will not be affordable for large number of people. There are already a large number of areas in the Perth region which has illegal dumped waste and this will increase. It will be left up to the local councils and shires to clean up this illegal dumping of waste.
