We have made up with a guide to help you in the process of your big clean-up project. So, if you don’t know how you can fill it efficiently, what size do you need and if you have weight restrictions, read our recommendations.

The first step and tip for your cleaning project are to choose the right skip bin

Because the skip bins come in a variety of sizes to fit all purposes, you need to know how much space you need. Also, the prices depend on the cubic meterage you’ll want.

For a better and organize cleaning job, you can start by grouping the rubbish by size and shape, and decide how you can use the skip bin space better.

We can give you a mini guide about the sizes of the skip bins. For example, if you want two cubic meters to skip bin, you can store about eight wheelie bins. If two cubic meters are not enough, a three cubic meter is equivalent of twelve wheelie bins; a four cubic meter skip bins can hold sixteen wheelie bins. And if those are not enough and you want to go bigger, you can choose the six cubic meter skip container that can carry twenty-four wheelie bins.

Step number two is about weight restrictions

Cutter Skips don’t use restrictions on weight. If you plan on hiring a skip bin for dirt and concrete, tell us at the time of booking.
