[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1545635388962{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Often, there is a lot more than regular rubbish that needs to be removed from your home, business, or construction site. It is for those times that renting a skip bin from Backyard Bins is the solution to your problem.
With skip bins that range from 2 cubic metres all the way up to 12 cubic metres, we will have a size to fit your need. See our Bin Sizes and Prices page for specific details.
While the list of things that you can put in a skip bin is long, there are also some items that cannot be placed inside and must be disposed of in another manner. Yes, even throw away items need to be separated into specific categories for safe removal.
Here are some examples of the different types of rubbish that will help you determine what can and cannot be put in each type of skip bin.
