Tips for Construction Workers & Tradies

Residential and commercial construction and demolition waste, electrical wiring, roofing and flooring materials, tiles, bricks, stones, lumber, windows, and mirrors are too large to be placed in garbage bins. The best method for removal of construction and related trade debris is with the use of skip bins designed for accommodating both the weight and complexity of materials.

Waste materials that contain asbestos needs to be separated from general debris, sealed to prevent leakage of contaminants, and placed in an approved skip bin.

Trade materials that are classified as Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) such as leftover paint, paint cans, ammonia, stripping solutions, waxes, and petroleum products cannot be placed in a skip bin. When you call Backyard Bins, (08) 9437 3733, to schedule your skip bin deliveries, tell us if you have any HHW items that need to be removed. We will work with you to arrange for the removal and disposal of any debris that requires special handling.

Regardless of how much disposable material is generated at your work site, a Backyard Bins skip bin can be conveniently placed close to the work area where objects can easily be tossed into the bin. You can arrange for frequent, quick skip bins removal when full, and for replacement of skip bins for additional debris. This equates to minimal work disruptions if you were to handle the trash collection and disposable on your own time. Having a skip bin service is the construction and trade industry equivalent of having a personal debris clean up team.
