How To Fit Your Rubbish In A 4 Cubic Metre Skip Bin

Struggling to fit all your rubbish into a 4 cubic metre skip bin? Whether you’re in need of a residential skip hire service, garden or a construction waste bin, knowing how to use all the space in your skip bin can really help. 

Mobile Skips offers an easy, permit-free way to handle rubbish removal. Read on to find out how to pack your skip bins effectively so you can fit everything in the space available.

Standard Skip Bin: Loading with ease

Our standard-sized 4 cubic metre skip bin is perfect for your average home renovation and household clean-up. Whether it’s outdated furniture, garage mess, or office cleanout, this bin can manage up to 500 kg. 

Ready to pack your skip, including every gap in the skip bin dimensions, with your unwanted stuff? Here are the steps to do just that:

Step 1: Lay the foundation.

Kick off by laying flat items like dismantled furniture or flattened boxes at the bottom of your bin. It’s like building a puzzle – start with the edges to make everything else fit smoothly.

Step 2: Slot in the small stuff.

Ever played Tetris? That’s a handy skill you can use when you rent a skip bin. Fill up all those awkward little gaps with smaller items. Think along the lines of old kitchen gadgets, fabric scraps, or small garden leftovers.

Step 3: Top it off with the big pieces.

Now for the larger stuff – like chairs or bulky branches. Just make sure they don’t stick out over the top. Keeping everything secure inside the bin makes sure you comply with safety rules when we move it. 

What fits in your Standard Mobile Skips Bin?

Starting a home cleanup? Our standard 4 cubic metre skip bin hire solution is up to the task! Here’s what it handles best:

• General household waste. All set to say goodbye to old furniture, outdated electronics, or last season’s clothes? This bin’s got you covered.
• Light building materials. Got some DIY magic happening? Timber, plaster, and old carpets from your renovations fit perfectly in this bin.
• Use this as a green waste skip. Fill it up with yard waste and garden trimmings. 

Heavy Skip Bin: Fitting in the heavy stuff

For heavy-duty cleanups, like tackling builder’s rubble, go for our Heavy Mobile Skips bin. It’s still a handy 4 cubic metre skip bin but tough enough to handle up to 1000 kg. That’s about five wheelbarrows’ worth of hard hitters like sand, soil, bricks, and concrete. 

Here’s how you pack this skip bin with your rubbish:

Step 1: Sort your waste.

Doing a big project? Separate heavy materials like bricks and concrete from lighter, bulky items. This keeps your heavy materials from damaging anything fragile.

Step 2: Put the heavy stuff first.

Start with the heaviest stuff at the bottom. It creates a stable base and makes full use of the bin’s capacity without risking damage to lighter items on top.

Step 3: Add the lighter, bulkier items.

Once your heavy base is set, add lighter, bulky items. These can sit comfortably on top of the heavier base, filling up any remaining space efficiently.

Step 4: Watch the weight.

Keep an eye on how full the bin gets. Make sure you don’t go over the 1000 kg limit included in the terms of our skip bin hire prices and skip bin sizes to avoid any extra fees and keep things safe for transport.

What can the Heavy Mobile Skips Bin handle?

Our heavy 4 cubic metre skip bin is a powerhouse, perfect for those major clear-outs at construction sites or during significant home renovations. Here’s what it’s best for:

• Heavy construction debris. Got loads of soil, sand, or concrete? This bin is made for the heavy stuff, supporting the bulk of debris from your building projects with ease.
• Dense materials. Bricks, tiles, and other heavy materials? No problem. These tough-to-move items are exactly what the Heavy Mobile Skips Bin is designed to manage.

Tips to efficiently pack the bin

Here are a couple of quick tips to make the most of our skip bin hire service:

• Fill the gaps with garden waste. If you’ve got soil or other loose garden waste, sprinkle it in the gaps between bigger, heavier items. It’s a great way to maximise space and make the load stable.
• Break it down. Whenever you can, take a moment to break apart larger pieces of construction rubble. Flattening or breaking them down makes sure they fit more neatly and compactly.
