1. Hiring the wrong size skip
Many customers have turned to us after having previously hired the wrong size skip from another skip bin company in Brisbane. Most companies offer skip bins in different sizes. To choose the right sized skip, you must first accurately estimate the amount of rubbish you need to dispose of. No doubt, this can be tricky. It leads to many hiring a skip bin smaller than or much larger than they actually need. Hiring the wrong sized skip means you will have to pay extra. However, you will not face this problem with 4 Waste walk-in skip bins. Our skip bins are available only in two standard sizes – 6m³ and 8m³. With us, you never need to worry about hiring the wrong size skip bin in Brisbane ever again. Our one-size-fits-all approach means that you can easily accommodate all your waste into one skip.

2. Putting the wrong waste type into a skip
Different skip bins are meant to collect different types of waste material. I’ve seen many customers make the mistake of putting the wrong type of waste into our skips. Always make sure to determine what type of waste you have before hiring a skip bin in Brisbane. Here, at 4 Waste, we offer walk-in junk skip bins to collect household waste and walk-in garden skip bins to collect green waste. We accept all general waste, including mixed waste in our junk skips and only 100% recyclable waste in our garden skips. Make sure to place only these mentioned types of waste into appropriate bins. If you have construction materials or heavy waste to dispose of, get in touch with us for our special heavy-duty skips.
3. Overfilling the bin or exceeding weight limitations
Many a time I have come across customers who overfill skip bins despite knowing very well that skip bins should only be filled and not overflowing. When you’re hiring a skip bin in Brisbane, make sure that you do not overfill the bin or exceed weight limitations. There are strict rules in place regarding transporting overfilled skip bins. So, if you overfill your bin, we will have no choice other than to remove the overflowing waste and leave it at your residence. In terms of weight limits, your waste should not weigh more than 1,000 kilograms.
4. Failing to recycle
From my observations, many Brisbane residences are still oblivious to the fact that not all waste need end up as landfill. Green waste or garden waste, which includes grass cuttings, leaves, twigs, branches and other foliage, is completely recyclable and should to be sent to a recycling depot. Even though we accept both household waste and green waste in our junk skip bins, it is better for the environment for you to sort your waste and hire our garden skip bins and junk skip bins separately. As I mentioned earlier, you only need to pay for what you fill, and know that you’ll be doing your bit for the environment.
5. Not shopping around for a good deal
When hiring a skip bin in Brisbane, be sure you don’t settle for the first skip bin company you come across. You’ll either end up paying more than you should, or end up getting bad service. Remember to always do some online research before hiring a skip bin in Brisbane. This way, you will come across the best and most affordable service providers in the region, such as 4 Waste.
