Frequently Asked Questions
How much waste should you put in a skip bin?
Only fill the skip bin so that it is level across the top. Overfilling is a safety hazard for our staff and other road users during transport. If a bin is overfilled, you may be required to remove the excess waste or hire an additional skip bin to make the load safe.
How can I get more space in my skip bin?
Break down all waste items and compress them where possible. This helps minimise gaps and ensures you make the most of your skip bin capacity.
Can I move a skip bin?
No. Please do not attempt to move the skip bin from where it is placed, as this can damage the bin. North East Bin Hire will do our best to position it where requested. Any damage caused to the bin may result in additional charges.
