SKIP BIN HIRE IN AUCKLAND

General Waste is typically anything involved with a “general clean-up around the house and section” that is neither liquid nor of a hazardous nature. Examples furniture, appliances, books, building material, size quantity of glass or mirrors, tree branches etc.

Use a Green Waste skip bin, if you have any of the following:
Grass, leaves, tree trimmings, small branches, and other organic materials. No large tree trunks more than 15 cm in diameter, or large quantity of bamboo or flaxes. Or large root stump containing heaps of dirt attached!

Hazardous waste cannot be placed in the skip bin. This includes large quantity of Polystyrene, paints, solvents, liquids, or any fibrolite asbestos or gas bottles and car/ truck battery, engine oil.

To dispose of any of these materials you need to contact your local council. They will be able to provide you with a contact who can dispose of anything hazardous or not accepted in your skip bin.

A General Waste bin and Green Waste bin have weight limits of 150kg per cubic metre in size (i.e a 9 cubic metre bin can hold up to 1350kg of waste). Westie Bins is charged tip fees based on weight on each bin. The limit of 150kg per cubic metre for these waste types is the average industry weight limit.

To give you an example of weight limits, 1 cubic metre of dirt weighs about 1.5 tonnes, exceeding the weight limit of a 9 cubic metre General Waste and Green Waste skip bin so if you place dirt/ concrete into your bins your weight can rise quickly. If your bin exceeds its weight limit Westie Bins charges you an additional 20cent per/kgs tipping fees over and above the weight limit for the size of your bin you order, please check web page.

NOTE: There are no weight restrictions for Clean Fill skip bins.

Skip bins should not be filled any higher than the top of its sides and should be filled in such a manner as to prevent spillage of material from the skip bin either while stationary or in transit.  (The driver faces prosecution for unsafe or overweight loads).

Your drive needs to be at least 3 metres wide for a normal truck with a 9 cubic metre skip bin (allow wider access if necessary for a larger truck). We do have a smaller truck which can get in a 2.5 metre driveway, but you may have to change to mini skip size bins. You should also ensure there are no low hanging trees, power lines or the like, that may hinder the access and placement of the container at time of delivery.

Once ordered you should contact Stuart to discuss the placement of the skip bin if you think that access may be difficult. We do have a smaller truck for tricky locations, talk to Stuart about what he can do to help.

Westie Bins allow you to keep a bin for 4 days or 3 nights, this includes the day the bin is dropped off. Example are Monday drop off pick up Thursday or drop off on a Friday pick up on the Monday. If you want a bin for longer, we charge extra $30 per day. I ask that all requests are to be made through the office, this way all request are recorded.
