Introduction

Adelaide eco bins are great for helping you get rid of all kinds of items that you don’t need or cannot recycle. However, they do require a certain amount of care and attention to ensure that they are being used safely and properly. Here are some tips to help you make sure your skip bin is being used as safely as possible:

Tip 1 – Don’t overfill your skip bin.

A common mistake people make when hiring a skip bin is to fill it too full. This can lead to the lid being damaged and/or the skip bin itself getting damaged during collection. It also makes it harder for us to collect your waste materials on time, if at all! So save yourself some money and hire a smaller-sized skip bin if you have little space available for storage or use our ‘Half Load’ service which allows us to remove half of your contents from the skips at no extra charge (your bill will be reduced by 50%).

Tip 2 – Break down some of the larger objects you are putting in a skip bin.

Tip 2: Break down some of the larger objects you are putting in a skip bin.

There are several ways to break down large items, including using a sledgehammer, saw, drill and hand tools. If you have a lot of heavy items like bricks or concrete blocks that need breaking up, consider hiring someone to do this job for you as they will be able to quickly break the items down into smaller pieces.

Tip 3 – Make sure heavier items are at the bottom of your skip bin.

When you’re preparing to fill up your skip bin, it can be tempting to just toss things in haphazardly. But this is a mistake!

If you don’t organize your waste properly, it could become overwhelming for your bin operator or tip truck driver when he comes to collect the trash. And by placing heavy items on top of lighter ones, you might end up with hazardous material mixing in with household rubbish – which can cause damage if not handled properly by waste management professionals.

Tip 4 – Avoid throwing hazardous waste into a skip bin unless you know the company can handle it.

Before you start tossing all your old electronics, paint cans and yard waste into a skip bin, ask the company if they are able to properly dispose of hazardous materials.

Hazardous waste can be dangerous to both people and the environment. If you don’t know what items need special handling, it may be best to skip them altogether.

Tip 5 – Do not mix different types of waste materials together in a skip bin.

A common mistake when using a skip bin is to mix different types of waste materials together. This can lead to a number of issues, including:

The different types of waste materials will have different weights and will be heavier than expected. This can result in the skip bin being too full for the amount you paid for it, which means that you may not get all your rubbish cleared away as quickly as you thought.
The different waste materials will have different densities and will not pack as tightly as expected. This means that there will be gaps between items in the bin, which makes it harder for them all to dry out once they’ve been dumped into landfill or recycled instead of being dumped into landfill or recycled.
The different waste materials will have different moisture levels and will not dry out as quickly as expected. If some parts of your skip bin are wetter than others, this could mean that bacteria starts growing on them before they’re emptied into landfill or recycled instead of being emptied into landfill or recycled

Tip 6 – Ask about additional fees for certain types of items before ordering your skip bin.

Certain types of waste may be subject to additional charges. For example, some companies won’t accept certain types of waste at all, or they’ll charge you extra for it. It’s important to find out about these fees before ordering your skip bin so that you can plan accordingly.

Tip 7 – Don’t throw any liquids or other items that could harm soil or plants into your skip bin.

Don’t throw any liquids or other items that could harm soil or plants into your skip bin.
Don’t throw any hazardous waste such as batteries, oils, paint tins and gas cylinders into a skip bin unless you know they can handle it.

Tip 8 -Think about the height of items being placed inside your skip bin, especially if its contents will have to be dumped onto a truck using a crane

Another thing to consider is how tall the items in your skip bin are. If you’re planning on using a crane to dump your skip bin onto a truck, it’s best to think about how high off the ground you want that material to be.

Tips:

Use the right size skip bin. If you have too much waste in your bin, it can be difficult for trucks to pick up (especially if they have high sides). A larger truck means it may require more space at pick-up and drop-off points—which could mean additional costs if there aren’t many options around where you live or work!
Make sure there’s enough room for access when placing and removing skips from driveways, yards or other areas. Skips should be placed so that drivers can easily maneuver them into place without damaging property or causing injury; likewise, drivers should move with care while driving through streets and alleys so as not cause damage themselves!

Don’t overfill your skip bin

If you put too much waste in the skip bin, it can become unstable. The extra weight could cause an accident if someone bumps or knocks into it or if somebody tries to move it. It may also tip when being emptied at the landfill site due to its excess weight which could result in injury or damage to other people or property around you. It is important that you only fill a skip bin as full as necessary so that it doesn’t become overloaded or overloaded with heavy items such as soil etc that might break apart upon transportation
