Waste Types

Avoid unnecessary expense, by ordering the right bin.

It is important to choose the correct bin type based on your project, so as to avoid over-spending or, potentially additional charges resulting from "contaminated loads".

Choosing the right skip bin "type" can be confusing, as all different providers have their own peculiarities.

At Skip Bin Hire Australia, we like to keep things simple, so offer only two types of bins; light and heavy as further explained below.
