Valuable Tips To Know Before You Rent A Skip Bin

You never think you need to rent a skip bin until you do, and by the time you need one, you might find yourself unsure of what to do.

Do you need a roll-off dumpster? Is it the same thing as a trash bin rental? Are there skip bin permit requirements you need to follow? The whole process of finding a good option can be a lot, but with Mobile Skips, you can avoid the stress.

Check out these great tips for renting a skip bin and why we’re a great choice for all of them!

Tip #1: Find out the cost of a skip bin.

It’s always good to know all the prices and extra fees that might come up, especially when you get a skip bin hire Gold Coast friends have suggested. Everyone wants the best deal they can get, and surprise charges can feel like a sneaky trick.

That’s why, at Mobile Skips, we make it clear what our prices are. We offer clear, accurate and fixed prices for an affordable skip bin rental, unlike traditional skips that often charge hidden fees.

While our pricing can vary between states and territories because of the wholesale cost of waste management and recycling, you can always get a quote for a skip bin price comparison. Just enter your suburb in the address bar to get started – it’s that easy!

You can also visit your nearest Bunnings branch and ask about local skip rental prices.

Tip #2: Ask if you need a permit.

Did you know that most traditional skips require permits just to be parked in your driveway or on the curb? Different locales have different guidelines and requirements, so be sure to check local regulations for skip bins online before booking your rental.

Fortunately, there are no permits needed when you choose Mobiile Skips.

This is because our alternatives to commercial and residential skip hire options are designed on a registered trailer. You can park wherever you can park a car – in an on-street parking space, an underground parking lot or right in your driveway – hassle-free. You save on the time and money it takes to apply for a permit too!

Tip #3: Look for different skip bin sizes.

Sometimes, size does matter. Mobile Skips come in two sizes: the Standard Skip Bin and the Heavy Skip Bin. The Standard Skip Bin can handle up to 500 kg worth of rubbish (about one wheelbarrow of ‘heavy stuff’ like sand, soil, concrete and brick), while the Heavy Skip Bin can carry up to 1,000 kg (that’s roughly five wheelbarrows of ‘heavy stuff’).

If you’re not sure if a small skip bin hire is the best choice for your cleanup project, reach out to us and we’ll recommend a suitable size!

Tip #4: See about eco-friendly practices.

At Mobile Skips, we use several eco-friendly methods to manage waste responsibly. We send your waste to the leading waste management companies in the country for recycling and disposal. We also plant a tree for every Mobile Skip hire that gets booked.

Not only are you getting rid of junk when you rent a skip bin from us, but you’re also giving back to the environment.

Tip #5: Check for flexible delivery options

One of the best things about a skip bin hire Sydney residents love is the flexibility. Sometimes your schedule needs sudden changes, or you need a same-day skip hire delivered at a specific time. Our flexible delivery and pickup options make it possible to rent a skip bin conveniently.

You can schedule your skip bin delivery or pick-up times in advance to fit your project’s schedule. You also don’t get charged a fee if you cancel, even if your skip has been delivered to your address. If you need more time with your skip or if you have more waste than expected, just let us know and we’ll extend your rental for a small fee. That’s it!
