The skip bin waste that causes problems is heavy waste (such as concrete, dirt, bricks, and rubble) and hazardous waste (such as synthetic and flammable chemicals), although it is heavy waste that accounts for more than ninety percent of problems.

Melbourne Skip Bin Weights

Heavy skip bin waste weighs up to a tonne per cubic metre. A four cubic metre skip bin full of heavy waste can weigh four tonnes, the weight of two cars. Any skip bin Melbourne wide that is overloaded causes significant problems for the person who has hired the bin and the company that is picking it up. For heavy waste skip bins Melbourne wide, a specific heavy waste skip hire vehicle needs to be deployed to be able to haul the specific heavy waste bin back onto the truck. A combination of specific bin and hook-lift truck is required.

If a skip bin has been delivered for general skip bin hire waste and is filled with heavy waste, the truck that delivered it will not be able to collect it. A Trailer Trash Skip Bin Melbourne will have the same issue. Our vehicles cannot tow a bin that weighs more than a tonne, as our skips have been specifically designed to take light residential and commercial skip bin waste only.

Skip Bin Melbourne Locations

Where a skip bin is to be located is also important. Consideration must be given to access for the skip bin, and for skip bins Melbourne wide consideration must be given to laneways, overhead access, main roads, parking restrictions, vehicle and pedestrian thoroughfare and driveway width. See our section on locating a skip bin in Melbourne.

Skip Bin Melbourne Sizes

The size of skip bin you require for a Melbourne skip bin job is also important. Underestimating the size you need may cause problems if you have to scramble to find another skip bin and it isn’t available when you need it leaving you with waste that needs to be removed by a certain time. Overestimating the skip bin you require means that you will pay for space you don’t use. See our section on Melbourne Skip Bin Sizes.
