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.
The third step is to avoid overfilling your skip bin
Why you can’t fill them over the rim? Because it’s a Government’s health and safety legislation, about transporting any type of rubbish container beyond its dimensional limits. It’s illegal; it’s not safe for travel and us, like many other companies, won’t risk taking any sanctions.
Step number four is to pack your skip bin tightly and efficiently.
You must make the most out of the space of your skip bin, so the key is to fill it in a way that you can put everything you want to toss. You can also find Adelaide skip bins with ease.
You will want to start with the flat objects and lie them in the same direction. After that, you can follow with the massive and voluminous objects. Everything from tables, household junks, and other more significant items. Also, you can try to break them down in smaller pieces for a better way of filling the space. Please take in consideration that is necessary to have a weight distribution in the skip bin to reduce the risk of tipping over.
We are moving on to the fifth step with the trick to avoid air pockets
The aim is to pack all the rubbish as tight as possible, but you will have places where you can add all kind of small objects and make good use of that space. Imagine you have a jigsaw puzzle in front of you, try to place the pieces between bulky items.
And the last step is all about how you can organize better your rubbish
That means that we items that we can and can’t accept. To make it easier for you, we are giving you a list of the safe items and the materials we don’t permit.
