26 May How to Save Money on Hiring a Skip Bin?
Hiring a skip bin can be a worthwhile exercise for a range of projects such as renovation and demolition, decluttering, landscaping or even transporting bulky items.
Something that all of these projects have in common is that they can be expensive and you’ll find yourself trying to save money at every decision.
At Just Chuck It, we’re devoted to keeping down the cost of your skip bin hire, delivering flexible services that help with all of the above projects and more.
As local leaders in all things skips, bin hire is our area of expertise and we hope this blog provides you with some insight on where to cut costs and what’s worth the investment.
Consider Your Waste Disposal Needs
There’s nothing worse than forking it out for a large skip bin and realising you only need half the space you’ve got.
This money waste can be easily avoided by assessing your needs and assuring you order the right bin for you.
Measure larger items and accumulate smaller ones to create an inventory of the items you truly need to throw away.
Conversely, if you’ve filled up your first skip and start to wonder if you should order a second one, take a moment to consider what really needs throwing out.
If there are any items that can be repurposed, donated elsewhere or simply haven’t reached the end of their life, save the space in your second skip bin and enjoy the satisfaction of fitting all your rubbish into one bin.
Be Organised Before the Skip Arrives
Not only do you pay for your skips by the load, but you can also pay based on time.
This means it pays to have your ducks in a row as the skip is delivered so that you can quickly and efficiently transfer all rubbish straight into the bin.
If your project doesn’t quite allow for such efficiency and you can’t be sure of what will be thrown away as the skip arrives, consider having a system of organisation that allows for quick waste disposal.
At the very least, once the skip has arrived, we highly recommend prioritising your waste disposal so that your investment isn’t sitting unloved and unfilled.
Share with Neighbours
If you’re so inclined, the last resort to fill your skip bin may be to agree with your neighbour that they donate some rubbish to your cause.
Whether you charge them for this service or not is up to you, but it may be your only way to ensure the skip bin is full and well-used once it’s picked up.
At the very least, you may be able to agree with your neighbour that they return the favour next time they’re hiring a skip bin.
