Whether you are renovating or cleaning your house, it is important to hire a skip bin to dispose the waste. You have to look out for your safety to avoid potential injuries to yourself and the people around you.
Here are some safety tips using a skip bin :
The waste in the skip bin has to be distributed evenly as it may fall off from the truck when it is being picked up. It is hazardous for the driver to carry an unbalanced skip bin. You can avoid putting all the heavier items on one side and lighter ones on the other. We recommend you to place the heavier items in the bottom and the others on top of it.
When loading the skip bin, you may find pushing the waste down with your feet might seem to give you more space. Sharp pieces of plastics, metal and spikes might be inside the bin and hurt you when crushing them with your feet leading to skin lacerations, sprains and other issues.
Hazardous waste like asbestos, gas bottles, explosives, oil can be dangerous when loading and disposing in the waste facilities. Disposing such hazardous wastes is not permissible under law in Sydney.
It is illegal to overload the skip bin above the rim. There are chances for injuries to occur if it is filled to the top
