How much weight can I put in the bin?:-

The maximum load for our skip bins are 1 tonne per cubic metre. This is the safe lifting limit. Max 6m3. Larger bins may not be filled more than half way with solid fill.

I think I may have asbestos?:-

There is no exact way of telling if you have asbestos, but as a general rule houses pre 1980 are likely to contain some in the fibro cement sheeting found in the bathroom and eaves of the house. The easy way to identify this material is via its appearance.

What do I do about Asbestos disposal?:-

We can help you by supplying a skip which is lined to hold asbestos. Once filled the skip is then collected and disposed of at an approved landfill under Super Skips EPA license.

How long can I hire the bin for?:-
Our quoted hire period is up to 5 days. If you require the bin for longer than 5 days please contact our office for our extended hire rates.

How do I pay for the bin?:-
We require payment either on booking or delivery, payment methods accepted are Bankcard, Mastercard, Visa,or Cash on delivery. Cheques can only be accepted with prior arrangement  

To what level can I fill the bin?:-
Bins may be filled to the top rail, no higher. As it is illegal to transport overloaded bins our drivers cannot remove the bin if it is overfull

What happens if I overload the bin?:-

Where possible the driver will try to take the skip, once the overloaded item is removed from the top of the bin, the overloaded item(s) where possible will be left in a neat pile near the site of the bin

What happens if the driver can’t unload the skip?:-

We will contact you and advise you that we are unable to remove the skip due to the overloading. We will then arrange for you receive another skip from us to transfer the material into. This skip will be charged at the stated rate.

How much notice is required for booking?:-
24 hours notice is ample. Depending on the availability of bins if you contact us before
10am we may be able to deliver a bin that same day.

Can we put the bin on the footpath?:-
Generally, yes, however we cannot block pedestrian access or utility pits. Some Councils will require a permit which we will arrange for you.

Can we put the bin on the road?:-

Should you wish to put the skip on the road, it is necessary for the property owner to make application to Queensland Police.
