Remember, even if you can put all these types of waste in your skip bin, you cannot mix them together. Categorise your waste and keep them separate upon disposal. It’s also great to have an idea of what type of waste you’ll dispose of and inform your skip bin hire ahead of time. This will help them offer the right kind and type of skip bin for your convenience.
