We must place the bin on your property and not public land or land that does not belong to you. You may approach your council for approval to place it on council land but we must sight the approval before leaving the bin on public land. You will be responsible for insuring the public risk if you have your bin placed outside your property boundaries. Check with your Council for approval guidelines. To minimise any damage of the skip bin being placed on your driveway, please place some wooden battens down first. all damage above and below ground is at your expense.  All care but no liability is accepted in delivery and collection of the skip bin from any property. We cannot place skip bins under a carport, but we can often place it at the front of your carport or over to one side to leave room for your car.

To estimate the size of skip bin you need, work out your volume like this:

Length x Width x Height
= 1.8m x 1.6m x 1.3m
= approx. 3.7m
Choose a 4 cubic metre bin

A cubic metre is a standard unit of measurement. One cubic metre is the amount that would be held in a cube that is one metre wide by one metre high by one metre deep.

Liquid, food and hazardous wastes are not permitted to be placed in our skip bins. Hazardous wastes include asbestos, poisons, paints, oils, gas bottles and toxic wastes.

Our skip bins can be filled up to the top rail, but there must not be any materials protruding over the top of the skip. Overloaded bins are dangerous and create Occupational Health and Safety concerns for BB Skip Bins employees and the general public. We must comply with LTSA and OSH rules and regulations.

We can only remove skips that are filled level to the top of the bin with no materials protruding. If the skip bin is overloaded, BB Skip Bins will arrange for an additional bin to be delivered (at the customers cost) and the customer will be asked to unload the excess waste that is protruding.

NO! Once placed the bin cannot be moved, if moved when it is empty once filled you will not be able to move it back and the truck may not be able to get to it to pick it up again. Any damaged done to the bin or property will be paid for by the hirer.
