Hiring a skip bin for your home renovation is a smart move. Skip bins come in all sizes and shapes so you do not have to overspend unnecessary. Most bin hire companies will be able to give you the right advice on the size you will need.
Skip bins have a multitude of uses. You may not be aware of all of them so here is a list of some of the things you can throw into a skip bin:
1. Old carpets
If you’ve stripped your carpets for the beautiful hardwood floorboards underneath, you will have hundreds of metres of old carpet that will need to be thrown out. The easiest way to throw it is to hire a bin.
If you are re-carpeting a room, you will have many pieces of odds and ends that will need to be disposed of. A skip bin can do this job for you efficiently.
2. Building waste
Your renovation project may involve tearing down walls, floors, building new structures and so forth. There will be piles of building waste like concrete, bricks, tiles and wood. Every piece needs to be removed and the best way to do it is to skip it. Australian states have strict codes and guidelines on the disposal of building waste so the best option for you is to call in the professionals and let them do all the work for you. Be sure to check with the skip bin hire company about what you can throw into the bin first before you order the bin. Special materials like asbestos require special removal processes and the company may not have the expertise.
3. Kitchen sink
You have the new kitchen, what do you do with the kitchen sink? Kitchen building waste like other building waste has to be removed by a professional skip bin operator. Likewise if you have renovated the bathroom, you will have to find a way of disposing the sink or old shower stall. The skip bin is your answer.
4. Heavy metal waste
If your renovation project involves tearing down walls and other major construction, metal is easily one of the building wastes you will have. Heavy metal waste can be removed in a heavy waste bin.

Timber is another common waste from home improvement and renovation projects. Treated timber, loose timber pieces, wooden floorboards and other wood materials can be placed in a mixed heavy waste skip bin.
If you are into carpentry you will have odds and ends that you want to remove, particularly if you are making space in your garage for your latest summer project. A skip bin is an easy solution to removing clutter and creating new spaces in your home or garage.
6. Green waste
Green waste can easily accumulate in a home improvement project. Imagine the amount of green waste you are going to have if you install a swimming pool or build an extension to create more room and living spaces for the family. The green waste in a building site can range from cut grass to shrubs and even trees.
The little green recycle bin you have at home is not going to be able to handle the load. Call a skip bin company and ask for a green skip bin. Green skip bins are dedicated skip bins for green waste only. The company will be able to advise you on the size of bin to hire. It is important to remember that green waste cannot be mixed with building waste so you may have to hire more than one bin for your removal purposes.
7. Asbestos
Asbestos in the ceilings of older buildings require specialist removal. Your builder will be able to tell you if you have asbestos in the home. When booking your bin hire, be sure to ask the company if they have the capabilities to remove asbestos.
8. General rubbish
A construction site is littered with general rubbish. These can be cardboard boxes, plywood, packaging, loose paper, plastic wraps, stones, rocks and others. The most effective way to get rid of this eyesore is to hire a skip bin and have it all taken away.

10. Soil and dirt
