FAQs

Metres to wheelie bins to trailers
Hire Period
Skips can remain on site for a maximum 7 days. Extended hire time may incur additional charges.
How much can I fill my skip?
All skip bins must NOT be filled higher than the water-level. If bins are loaded above water-level an overloading fee of $120.00 will apply. Chain of Responsibility obligations apply to the customer as a loader or consignor of skip bins. The driver will refuse to take the skip bin until the overload waste is removed.
How much clearance is required for truck access?
A 4m height and 3m width clearance is required at a minimum. There must be no overhead powerlines at the drop off/pick up location.
What types of skips do you offer?
There are two types of skips:
A marrel skip is a metal container lifted off the rear of the skip truck by the use of hydraulic arms or chains. These bins cannot be dragged as they do not have wheels. Depending on their size, some marrel bins have a wheelbarrow access door for easier loading.
A hook lift skip or hook bin tends to be larger capacity skip bin. The hook bin is a little longer in length and will have lower sides with a rear opening tailgate for bobcat access. A hook bin rolls off the back of the truck.
