To prepare for skip bin delivery, choose a firm, reasonably level area with clear access from the street. Move vehicles, open gates and check for narrow entrances, soft ground, low branches, powerlines and roof overhangs before the truck arrives. Written by Rydall Seale, Owner of Backyard Bins.

Without a doubt, skip bins are the way to clean up, clean out, and remove all of the old, unused items just lying around the house. They are a way to clear away all home project remnants and scraps, a way to remove all yard and garden debris, and a way to spruce up the eye appeal of your home.
Skip bins eliminate the need to bag and box up items that need to be taken to a landfill or recycle centre in your vehicle. That benefit alone saves you time and money.
While most disposable items can go into specific sized bins, other objects needed to be handled separately for safety purposes. Any item that cannot go into one of our bins can be placed on the ground next to the bin and we will help arrange for disposal of those objects. We are available for skip bin delivery and removal 7 days a week at a time to fit within your schedule.
If you have any questions about what items you have that need special handling, call Backyard Bins, (08) 9437 3733, and talk with one of our friendly, professional skip bin specialists.
