All bins have different weight limits. For limits on the bin you are hiring, please ask one of our friendly staff for the exact weight before hiring.

Q. Where can the bins be placed?

Q. What happens if a bin is overweight?
As an example, if a skip bin is filled with material from a building or construction site such as dirt, concrete and bricks or similar, it is likely to be overweight. If the bin is overweight we will work with you to resolve the situation in the most cost effective way - this may involve additional fees.

Q. What days of the week do you deliver and pick up?
We can deliver and pick up skip bins 5 and 1/2 days a week. Monday to Friday, between 7am and 4pm and between 7am to 12 noon Saturdays.
