While
most people in Canberra have opened up to the concept of using skips for daily
waste disposal, most of them are prone to making certain mistakes when it comes
to their skip bin hire services. This ends up costing them more money than if
they were to avoid these fatal mistakes. Below, we have broken down these
mistakes, helping people understand where they are going wrong and how they can
avoid these mistakes and save more money:
1.
Not understanding the
measurements of skip bins:
This
is one of the biggest mistakes that people make when it comes to skip bin hire in Canberra.
You need to understand what the measurements are in order to purchase the
correct variety of skips for your needs. One cubic meter means that the bin is
like a box that has the width, length and height of 1m each. This gives you a
fair idea of the size of the skip bin that is 3,4 or 5 cubic metres in size.
2.
Choosing the wrong size:
Since
most people lack knowledge of the appropriate size of the skip, they make
mistakes and order the wrong type of skip for their waste disposal. Skip bin
hire in Canberra can be quite cheap if you know the tricks of making the most
of the money that you are spending for the waste disposal. Often you might have
certain amount of junk and you might want to hire a bigger size of skip.
Talking to a neighbour and finding out if they need a skip for their waste
disposal can be great way to save money. You can simply hire a bigger skip and
split the cost of the skip with your neighbour, who is also using the same skip
for disposing of their household waste. Instead of hiring separate skips, which
would cost you both more, you can share the skip among yourselves.
3.
Using the skip wrong:
A
lot of people are not using their skips up to the fullest extent. They don’t
understand the science that goes behind packing a skip properly and hence end
up with extra junk that could be fit into the skip bin. Disposing of this extra
piece of garbage can often lead to an additional expenditure. However, if
packed correctly, your skip could take a lot more junk than it currently does.
If you are disposing certain pieces of old furniture, these need to go first
into the bin. After this, you must fill up the additional space left in the
sides and bottom with the junk left behind.
4.
Putting all sorts of junk into
the same bin:
This
is one the mistakes that can cost you a lot of money. If you have mixes of
cement or bricks in your junk, it is important that you mention this beforehand
to the skip handlers. Also, there are certain substances that you must never
dump into these bins without taking the permission of the skip hire
organization you have chosen. These materials include toxic chemicals, acids
and phenyls, etc. These might leech into the soil and cause permanent damage to
the land.
5.
Not using the skip at all:
One
of the biggest mistakes when hiring a skip is not using the skip for the
purpose of waste disposal. Many people lose a lot of money by simply ordering
for a skip and then not using the skip for the purpose of waste disposal. But
this can easily be prevented by making sure that you have the junk ready to be
disposed of when hiring the skip bins. Unless you do this, you are very likely
to procrastinate till the last minute and then lose a ton of money simply
because you now have to extend the pick-up date for the skip bin you have
hired.
