If you have a problem with too much junk, unwanted or discarded things, objects, items, or whatever you want to dispose of, you first need to take a few key factors into account, such as:

What am I disposing off?

This will tell you the skip bin waste category to hire!

It pays to do a quick look over the things you are intending to dispose of, and the reasons why you want to discard this waste!

There are many reasons why people want to dispose of waste items or old treasures.

You need to be sure what you intend to dispose of, you will no longer need or want.

by knowing what you are going to dispose of, this will indicate to you the skip bin hire waste category you will need to order.

sizes of skip bins,sizes of mini skips, much waste am I going to dispose off?

This will tell you what size skip bin you will need to hire!

You will need to visualise some form of measurement in order to be able to make an informed judgement or decision of the skip bin hire size suitable for your waste disposal needs.

A simple form of measurement, can be as simple as how many wheelie bin loads, (wheelie bins are different sizes, so you need to know the size of wheelie bin you are using e.g. 240 litre etc.) wheelbarrow loads, trailer loads etc. of junk would you need to get rid of all our junk?

You can pass this information on the Wendy to help you make to best decision for your skip bin hire size required.

How long is the biggest item you are disposing off?

This is another gauge to select your skip bin size required!

Some items like furniture are just awkward shapes to dispose of, they also take up alot of space in the skip bins and mini skips.

If you are disposing of a couch which is say 3m long, hiring a small 2 m3 skip bin is a waste of time, it would be too small for the job. So you need to make sure the skip bin you hire will actually fit the items you are discarding.

Do you need any help to fill the skip bin, or will you fill the skip by yourself?

This will help guide you to the timeframe you will need to hire the skip bins for!

Some people need help or assistance to fill their skip bin, so it is prudent to allow some extra time to load the skip, just incase they leave you in the lurch for a day or two.

By sorting out if the kids are helping you, a friend, family etc, you need to take their availability into account prior to ordering your skip bin hire service.

Make sure you have No Prohibited Waste When Hiring a Skip Bin in Melbourne!

Prohibited Waste in a skip bin is illegal, big fines are guaranteed by the EPA!

Find out what prohibited waste is here.

The responsibility of the skip bin or mini skips contents fall on the person hiring the service!

It is up to Eastern Skip Hire to make an effort to educate customers, but if people load prohibited waste and Eastern Skip Hire receive a fine, the fine will be passed onto the person hiring the skip bin or mini skips.

Where do you want the skip bin to be placed?

Is there enough room for your skip bin, is the access point big enough for a truck?

This seem like simple question, but so many people don't consider where they are going to place the skip bin until the truck arrives with their skip bin. Some people want us to drive on very wet grass with a soft base, which is a potential disaster waiting to happen for us.

If you don't have enough room in your driveway or front yard (if the ground is hard and accessible), you may have to get a permit to place the skip bin on either council property (naturestrip) or for permit to put the bin on the road.

Why Shouldn't I take the junk to the tip myself?

Skip Bins & Mini Skips are Convenient, Less Work and Good Value for Money!

Obviously you can take your own junk to the tip or transfer station if you wish to, however, it may actually be non beneficial for you financially!

People need to take a few pointers into consideration,:

  • Tipping fees are very expensive, although the largest portion of the tipping fees is made up if the state government recycling taxes and GST by the federal government.

  • If you only have a small quantity of junk, you probably are better off disposing of your own junk yourself. However, if you are disposing of a couple of trailer loads of junk, it will be cheaper to hire a skip bin or mini skip.

  • Skip Bin Hire & Mini Skips Hire is very convenient, your skip will be:

  • delivered on the day of your choice!

  • picked up on the day of your choice!

  • skip bins can be delivered or picked up at short notice!

  • you don't have to unload your trailer or skip!

  • if you don't have a trailer, you will have to hire one at an extra expense!

You WILL Save time when hiring a skip bin or mini skip hire service!

When hiring skip bins and mini skips, it frees people up to spend there time doing the things they enjoy.

Yes, it cost money to hire a skip bin, but the benefits outweigh the cost. Spending more time with your family and friends is priceless and time you cannot replace once the time has gone!

Or you may enjoy going fishing, playing golf or spending time with your hobbie, hiring skip bins will let you spend your time doing the important things in your life, rather than wasting time at a tip or transfer station.


Is Hiring a Skip Bin in Melbourne Right For You?

Hiring a skip bin melbourne service isn't necessarily right for everyone!

Some people may lead a life which is hectic and chaotic, due to having too many activities at the one time, like running the kids to sport, then to friends houses, doing the housework etc.

Sometimes paying someone to do the decluttering or loading their truck instead of you loading a skip bin maybe a more appropriate option for them.

I wouldn't argue against anyone for taking this option, people are free to dispose of their junk, general rubbish and hard waste in any way they wish too and we respect there

decision.
