If you are looking for a quick and efficient way of rubbish management for your home, skip bins are the way to go. However, if it's your first time hiring one, you may find it slightly challenging when it comes to things such as getting the correct size, choosing the right type or hiring from the right company. The prices of skip bins also vary depending on a number of factors such as the size or type of bin. If you understand how to use your skip bin well, you can save some money in the process. Therefore, here are a few ways to get the full advantage of your skip bin.

Keep Your Skip Bin for The Least Time Possible

Time matters when it comes to skip bins. Most skip bin companies will charge you according to the number of days you hire the skip bin. If you hire a skip bin and let it sit on your property for days, you may only end up paying more money than is necessary. Therefore, plan accordingly especially if you intend to clean out your home or have an upcoming renovation project that will create a lot of waste. You can then pick a day you are free and clean out your home. This way, you will only keep your skip bin for that one day.

If Possible, Keep the Skip Bin on Your Property

Where you place your skip bin also plays a significant role when it comes to money savings. If you place the skip bin on the nature strip or on the street, you will need a council permit. That's because the street area is council property. Therefore, to avoid having to pay for a permit to keep your skip bin on the street, make room on your property for it.

Remember that you are responsible for the materials that go into the skip bin as long as it's in your possession. Therefore, if anyone throws something that is prohibited into the type of skip you have (common for skips placed on the street), you will be responsible for any fines. Keeping the skip on your property ensures that this does not happen.

Make Arrangements With Your Neighbours to Share the Skip Bin

If you are only disposing of a relatively small volume of waste that won't fill a skip bin, consider sharing one with your neighbours. This will reduce your costs considerably.
