“What size skip bin is
right for me?” This is a question that many skip hiring companies come across
regularly. Unless you have referential pictures to look at in terms of the
different sized skips, it is very difficult to estimate. It is always better to
go for a size bigger basically for two reasons.
a. It often turns out that
often the load turns out to be more than usually intended. Thus, the extra
space in any bigger skip can always get used.
b. Most people don’t have the
estimate of what they want to dispose from where they are staying. If they
overload one skip, they often tend to ask for a second one.
A skip bin size is
determined by cubic meters. Check out these five ways in terms of how you can
order a skip for your purpose.
1. Clearing of soil or lawn
projects – This is relatively easy to estimate the quantity that you might need
to throw. The general thumb rule is to determine the volume of the area and
then multiplying it by 1.3 to allow packing efficiently. The skips ordered for
soil or lawns are specifically made for sand or soil clearance.
When excavations are
carried out it is generally not in the shape of a regular rectangle, akin to
the shape of a skip bin. You don’t have to worry too much about the exact
volume as the packing efficiency is going to be approximate anyway.
2. Kitchen renovation – The
size of the kitchens can vary depending on the size of the house. The waste generally
includes bench tops, cabinetry and a stove possibly, a dishwasher, floor
covering, wall tiles as well as the packaging that your new materials arrived
in. Generally, a 4-6cubic meter skip is recommended for kitchen renovations.
3. Garden cleanup – While
doing a garden cleanup, it is often found that the branches often do not sit
well in your skips unless you are inclined to cut them up in small sizes. It is
recommended that you use a 6.75 cubic meter skip bin with a general garden
clean up. This also has to depend on the garden size of course.
4. Bathroom renovation – If
you are renovating your bathroom, more or less it will be the same as that of
your kitchen renovation. For throwing waste like old shower screen, tiles,
toilet, cabinetry and possibly a bath tub, you need a skip that is something of
a 4 cubic meter.
As with everything, your
skip hiring company will be able to give you correct approximate
recommendations when it comes to selecting a skip. The professional rubbish removal company is trained in this
very job and will be able to tell you the approximate size of the skip bin that
you will require for your needs.
