What waste can I put in the skip bin?
Most things can be placed in our bins including green waste, building waste and general household waste.
Prohibited items include liquids, food waste, batteries, gas bottles and asbestos.
Additional charges and/or legal charges could be made if this is not adhered to. To see what can go in our bins, check our waste guide.
Can I put different waste types in the same bin?
The waste types can be mixed, this may increase the cost of hire.
We can discuss this when you make a booking.
How high can I fill my bin?
Fill the bin evenly until you reach the overfill line written inside the bin. Due to legal requirements, we can’t take the bin if it’s over-filled.
Evenly distribute the weight of your waste across the bin, with heavy items on the bottom and lighter items on top.
Where can I place the skip bin?
We can place your bin anywhere within your property boundary. The bin can’t block pedestrian foot traffic and may need a council permit, which you’ll need to arrange.

• steep driveways
• sloping terrain.
What if the skip bin gets damaged or someone gets injured?
You will need to pay for any damage caused to the bin while on your property. Do not light fires inside or close to the bin.
