Type of waste

Before delving into the ideal skip bin size for your waste disposal needs, prioritising the type of waste is important to consider when making your decision. The nature of your waste alone will determine the varied capacities needed for different contents. Our options include general, green, concrete, and heavy waste types.

For instance, heavy waste types typically demand more space, while green waste, usually consisting of leaves and grass, is more compressible, and therefore requires less room. However, it's important to emphasise that regardless of the material, the quantity and size of the waste should be your primary consideration in choosing the appropriate skip bin for your commercial property. Even seemingly small amounts of green waste can accumulate quickly, and can be underestimated at times. 

While every commercial property and space differs, typically our experience in waste removal has indicated that larger skip bins are most appropriate for commercial projects, as more often than not, businesses are looking to renovate and demolish a larger area space in comparison to a local residency as an example. That being said, we have served a wide range of businesses, including small-scale properties that have only required small 2 cubic metre skips. While more commonly larger skip bins are required, the trick is establishing the type of waste you are looking to remove first, which will in turn help you indicate the rough size of your bin. 


Scale of waste

Choosing the right size of your skip bin is the most important step in assessing the amount of waste you are looking to remove. Whether you're clearing out your garage or undertaking a large-scale construction project, the volume of waste is the primary consideration. Common sense dictates that more waste requires a larger bin, and for the most part this holds true! However, understanding how to correlate your waste volume with cubic metres can be challenging, especially if you're not familiar with the metric for visualising space.

If you find yourself stuck in this predicament, we urge you to reach out to us directly. Our expertise in handling various materials allows us to guide you towards the right skip bin size. A quick call can save you from all the guesswork, ensuring you get precisely what you need for your specific situation.

Once you've determined both the type and quantity of waste for disposal, the next step is to explore our range of bin options tailored to your specific circumstances. We understand that every commercial project is unique, and we offer a variety of bin options that accommodate a diverse clientele .

However for commercial properties, there are two skip bins that emerge as the popular options for catering to a broad spectrum of business requirements:

Chain Lift Bins (Marrell Bins):

   - Available in sizes of 2m3, 4m3, 6m3, and 8m3.

   - Suitable for commercial waste, with a size limit of 4m3 for concrete or brick disposal.

Hook Lift Bins:

   - Heavy-duty roll-on-roll-off bins primarily used in construction and demolition.

   - Sizes include 15m3 or 30m3, with a maximum weight of 12 tonnes.

The selection of these bins depends on the nature of your waste and the scale of your project. Commercial properties, often involved in more major projects, tend to lean towards larger skip bins. In this category, we offer two options:

25 Cubic Metre Skip Bin:

   - Ideal for commercial, large construction, or demolition projects.

   - Consideration of available space is crucial due to its substantial size.

   - Not suitable for masonry materials like brick and concrete.

30 Cubic Metre Skip Bin:

   - A very large skip suitable for significant commercial, construction, or demolition projects.

   - Similar to the 25 Cubic Metre bin, it requires careful consideration of placement space.

While smaller bins like the 2m3 or 4m3 are suitable for garage clean-outs, larger-scale projects often demand the capabilities of the 25 Cubic Metre or 30 Cubic Metre bins.

To sum it up, choosing the size of your skip bin starts with understanding your waste type and quantity. From there, the appropriate skip bin size becomes more apparent. Whether it's a small-scale garage cleanup or a significant construction project, our diverse range of skip bins guarantees we have the perfect solution for your commercial property’s waste management needs.
