How to Load Your Skip Bin Quickly but Safely

Although skip bin hire can make rubbish disposal much easier, it still takes time. This might be a problem if you need to dispose of waste quickly. But even if you are working under a tight deadline, you need to prioritize safety as you load your skip bin. This can pose a challenge if you need to load in a hurry.

If, like just under 50% of Australians, your garage is cluttered, but you plan to purchase a car very soon, you'll need to get rid of the clutter fast so you can park your new car.

Fortunately, you can load your skip bin quickly — and safely — if you prepare yourself in the following ways.

Order your skip bin in advance

If you need to get rid of waste fast, order your skip bin immediately. Skip bins are in high demand. This means that if you wait even a day before you order a skip bin, you might miss out. Do you have a day or more to waste while you wait for a skip bin to become available?

Count, categorize and inventory waste

Before you order your skip bin, make sure you know exactly what you plan to throw away. To do that, take inventory of all your rubbish. Although this will take time initially, you will save lots of time when you load and pack your skip bin. For instance:

• Counting your rubbish will help you order the right size.
• Categorizing your rubbish will ensure you don't load prohibited items.
• Inventorying your rubbish will help you to plan your loading properly.

These simple measures will create a smoother process and thus save you time.

Order a larger skip bin to avoid overfilling

If you have already carried out the aforementioned step, you will have a good idea of what size skip bin you will need. But if in doubt, order a slightly larger skip bin than you think you might need. This will help if you need to load your skip bin in a hurry and thus cannot fill it as efficiently as you would like.

If you overfill a skip bin, your skip bin company won't be able to take the bin until you repack it. This will, inevitably, waste time.

Flatten and crush as much rubbish as possible

The availability of space will determine how long your skip bin takes to load. For instance, if you toss your rubbish into the skip bin without flattening and crushing it first, you could waste valuable space. Your skip bin might look spacious at first, but it can fill up quickly and leave you wishing you'd taken the time to flatten and crush the items first.

Do this before the skip bin arrives so you can load your skip bin quickly.

Prepare some tools for breaking up large items of furniture

Before the skip bin arrives, prepare gloves, steel-capped work boots, and some tools such as a handsaw. This is especially important if you have large items of furniture to dispose of. Sometimes, large items can lodge inside skip bins if you don't break them down first. If this happens, you'll waste time trying to dislodge the item to make room in the skip bin.

And make sure you measure large items. If they are too big, you can break them down then load them.
