Contact your local skip bin hire, such as Bonza Bins, to discuss your skip-bin needs. Some providers may have caveats against larger items such as mattresses.
Not all items can go in a skip bin. Rule of thumb, if the item requires special handling e.g. hazardous waste, then likely, it cannot go in a skip bin. While some skip-bin services may make special exceptions, you must not dispose of the below items without consulting your skip-bin provider.
There are many more items that have not made the list, but if you are unsure, it’s always best to discuss with your skip-bin provider for advice. If your provider can not personally handle the waste, they can point you in the right direction.
Overloaded skip-bins are a hazard. For a skip-bin to be successfully collected, the bin must have no overhanging objects. If the bin is overloaded, the provider will remove items, or order an additional bin at the cost of the customer. Please ensure you consult your provider to discuss your skip-bin size requirements before ordering.
In conclusion, skip-bins are an efficient way to remove large amounts of waste. While skip-bin providers wish they could help you with all your waste needs, unfortunately, some items require special handling beyond the capacity of the skip-bin provider.
