Renovation Waste Removal With Skip Bins

Old renovation materials can quickly turn into piles of rubbish that cannot reasonably fit into rubbish bags. Some materials also need to be kept separate from regular household waste, especially when your renovation includes heavier building materials.

Without the convenience of a skip bin from Backyard Bins, you may need to make several trips to a recycling centre or landfill. That means more time sorting, loading and transporting waste when you could be focused on getting the renovation finished.

Having a skip bin close at hand lets you load approved renovation waste safely and efficiently. Backyard Bins will bring your skip bin to your Perth home, business or construction site and will come back to tow it away. That means more time to get your renovation completed safely and on schedule.

What Renovation Waste Can Go in the Bin?

For most renovation and construction clean-ups, you will usually need a Mixed Renovation/Construction Waste bin. This category can include a mixture of selected heavy and building materials, but there are still clear limits on what can and cannot go in the bin.

Accepted Mixed Renovation/Construction Waste

  • Soil
  • Brick
  • Concrete
  • Tiles
  • Rubble
  • Timber
  • Cabinetry
  • Plumbing equipment
  • Metal
  • Gyprock

Items Not Accepted in Mixed Renovation/Construction Waste Bins

  • Oversized concrete or limestone
  • Wet cement or wet concrete
  • Synthetic grass or turf
  • Green waste
  • Carpet
  • Cement-based sheeting products, including Super 6 fencing, HardieFlex sheeting or eaves lining
  • Asbestos
  • Gas bottles or fire extinguishers

Safe Work Area

Having a skip bin from Backyard Bins conveniently placed close to the work site lets you dispose of approved sharp waste materials like splintered pieces of wood, rusty or bent nails, pieces of glass, metal scraps, tiles, bricks and chunks of concrete. Keeping these materials contained helps reduce trip hazards and keeps the work area easier to manage.

Larger approved items like cabinets, shelves, window frames and doors can also be placed in a suitable renovation waste skip bin. A skip bin removes the need to let old material pile up close to where you are working, helping you keep the site neat, safer and easier to work around.

Night Cleanup

At the end of the day, before the work crew leaves or you stop for the evening, there will often be rubbish or debris that needs to be cleared to keep the renovation site ready for the next day’s work. That chore becomes easier when you have a skip bin from Backyard Bins. Just place approved renovation waste into the skip bin and keep the area clear.

Renovation Waste FAQs

Asbestos is one of the materials you could encounter during a renovation unless you have a newly built home. Asbestos is quite tricky because you cannot recycle it. You should also make sure you do not handle it on your own, especially if you do not know how to dispose of it properly. It’s essential to separate asbestos from other types of renovation waste you have produced. Backyard Bins no longer offers asbestos removal services, if you need assistance please seek other professional services.

Talk to contractors and waste transporters about waste management before the renovation project commences. Ensure that the waste will be transported to a facility that accepts the rubbish you produce during renovation.
The simplest solution, however, is to hire a skip bin. Pick a mixed waste bin that allows you to dump common renovation rubbish, such as drywall, old furniture, plaster wood, and other types of junk. For safe and efficient waste management, we recommend maintaining a system when disposing of rubbish in the bin. Keep like materials together, which can aid in separating recyclables and non-recyclables.

Timber, concrete, and bricks are among the things you produce after renovating a house or office space. At a glance, you can already tell there are a lot of items that you can easily repurpose. Renovation projects produce tons of waste, but you can take down old parts and refine certain materials. That way, you can find materials that you can recycle and reuse.
Some of the waste materials that you can repurpose are wood and boards. While it is often convenient for many people to throw these things into the bin right away, they are incredibly versatile. That means they can be repurposed in many ways. For example, you can use your old boards for strapping. Ensure that you only keep good quality materials with suitable dimensions to suit another project.

Correctly managing renovation waste is essential; otherwise, it can be detrimental to the environment and human health.  Australia has stopped incinerating waste, which means most of the rubbish generated, such as renovation waste, is dumped in landfills. Therefore, it is not illegal to do so. Around 40% of waste (equivalent to 19 million tonnes) comes from renovation, construction, or demolition.
There is no exact tally of landfill sites in the country, but it’s believed that about 600 exist. Some are in Western Australia, including small and unregulated landfill sites.
