Benefits of Renting a Skip Bin

Blog

If you are in need of getting rid of waste, whether yard waste or remodeling waste, renting a skip bin is a great option. There are a wide range of benefits of choosing a skip bin over other alternatives, such as hiring someone to pick up the waste or bringing it to the local dump yourself. Here are some different benefits of renting a skip bin.

They Are Easy to Load

First of all, skip bins are very easy to load, especially when you consider that there are different types of bins available. You can rent a traditional bin that requires you to haul the waste over the top just like any other large waste bin you see. However, some skip bin companies also offer dumpsters that provide a hinged door. When the door swings open, you simply walk in and place the large and bulky waste inside the bin. This is a good option when throwing out heavy items like trees, rolls of carpeting, or drywall. There is no need to injure yourself just trying to throw this heavy waste over the top.

It Is Good For the Environment

Throwing away large amounts of waste at the dump typically means all items are going into landfills. This is very bad for your local environment and should be avoided at all costs. With skip bins, you have the option of using their sorting service. Some skip bins offer this service when you want to throw all your waste into one bin for convenience, then they will sort the recyclable materials when they pick up the bin. Another good way bins help with the environment is that you can get a bin for certain types of items, such as one bin for yard waste, and another bin for just recyclable items.

Skip Bins Are an Affordable Option

Compared to some of the other ways to get rid of remodeling or yard waste from your home, skip bins are among the most cost-effective. If you had to pay someone to remove all of the waste for you, they would charge you for transportation to your home and to the dump, gas for their vehicle, and of course the physical labor required in picking up the waste. This can be considerably more expensive than simply renting a skip bin and having it picked up for you. The other option is to deliver the waste yourself, but if you don't have a big truck, you would need to rent one, also possibly costing even more money and more of your time.

Building a new granny flat

We needed to get a new granny flat built, as ours was starting to look shabby and had a roof leak we couldn't stem. We knew it would need some upgraded features so that we could start renting it out for extra income. I spent a lot of time researching which features get the best rental returns and how to get the granny flat built as quickly and effortlessly as possible. I read a lot from a lot of online sources and interviewed other home owners who have new granny flats so we could get the best structure built. This blog has tips for people looking to build new granny flats for their home.
