Here are some tips to remember when using a skip bin hire service.

Don't assume that the most spacious area of your property is the best spot for the bin

Many people who use these services mistakenly assume that the best place to have the bin hire company put the refuse container is the most spacious area on their property. For example, if you have a big, wide driveway that you're not currently using, you might think that this is the most suitable place in which to keep the skip bin.

However, this might not be the right spot for it. For example, if you've hired this bin because you're landscaping your back garden and need to throw out the garden waste that you'll generate, then the driveway at the front of your property might not be the most convenient place to keep it. That's because you would have to go back and forth from your back garden to your driveway every time you wanted to use the bin.

Similarly, whilst it might be convenient for you to put the bin in your spacious front garden, this might cause issues if there is no fence between your neighbours' front gardens and yours. For instance, the bin's contents might get blown over onto their lawns by the wind, which could frustrate your neighbours. As such, it's important to choose a place that will enable you to get to the bin quickly and easily and which will also not negatively affect those in nearby properties.

Evaluate the things you'll be discarding to ensure you pick a bin that's the right size

It's important to evaluate the items you'll be discarding before hiring the bin so that you choose one that's the right size. If you pick a bin that can hold a far greater quantity of refuse than the amount you're throwing out, you'll end up paying a bigger rental fee than you needed to. Conversely, if you choose a bin that is much too small for the number of items you need to discard, it will fill up before your disposal work is complete. This means you will then need to pay a second rental fee for another bin.

By thoroughly looking through the garden waste, renovation refuse or decluttered items you'd like to get rid of, rather than just making a vague assumption about how much bin space they'll take up, you can pick a bin that will surely fit all these items. This way, you'll then only pay the exact rental fee you need to, to meet your rubbish disposal needs.
