For many of my customers, ordering a skip is a completely new experience, and whilst it's not exactly rocket science, having all the info upfront will help you make the best decisions to save time and money. These are the questions that you should ask before ordering a skip to ensure that you have the best possible experience:1) What size skip bin do I need? Figuring out the ideal size skip for your waste from the outset is essential. Order a bin too big, you're paying too much. Order a bin too small, you're going to have extra waste that needs disposal.

An experienced operator will be able to guide you through the process - for any questions regarding skip bin sizes, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

2) How much will the skip bin cost? All reputable skip bin businesses offer instant over the phone quotes. Never accept delivery of a skip bin without being quoted an agreable price! There are two factors that will determine the price of a skip:

- The size of the skip bin required

- The type of waste being put in the skip bin

3) Are there any additional costs?

At Red Bins Skip Hire, the price that you are quoted is the price you pay - No exceptions.

If at any time, you require pressure free advice, please don't hesitate to phone me directly on 0410 087 910. Cheers, Len.

One of the first questions that I ask customers when I'm quoting for a job is: 'what type of waste do you plan on putting in your skip?'.

Different waste facilities offer different standardised prices for different types of waste and by knowing the exact type of waste prior to quoting, I'm able to offer my customers the best possible prices.

It's also important that customers know that they aren't able to use their skips to dump potentially harmful materials such as asbestosis - this waste can pose an environmental hazard if it is not disposed of in the correct manor. Its important to remember that there is a right way of disposing of any type of waste.

Below, I have identified a sample of a few of the more common materials that my customers dump in their skips:

Mixed demolition and building waste: - Timber, plasterboard, flooring, doors & windows, kitchen cupboards, glass (no mirrors though... I don't need the bad luck!) etc.

Concrete & bricks:

- Broken paths, slabs, walls and driveways.

Green waste & untreated timber:

- Branches, trees, hedge trimmings, pallets etc.

Household & office clear-outs: - Furniture, appliances, boxes, books, old tools & toys etc.

Electronics:

- Computers, monitors, printers etc. If you are unsure about a material that you would like to dump in a skip, please feel free to give me a call on 0410 087 910 and I'll do my best to help.

Cheers, Len.
