How to correctly load a Skip Bin

For safety and legal compliance, it’s crucial to fill skip bins only up to the rim—never above the sides. Transporting an overfilled bin is illegal and can result in heavy fines and demerit points. If a bin is filled above the water line, it poses a significant safety risk during transport. Should we arrive to collect an overloaded bin, we may need to remove excess items to ensure safe transportation. Please be aware that overload charges will apply in these situations.

Start with flat items: Place all flat items, such as sheets of metal, wood, or plasterboard, at the bottom of the bin.
Break down bulky items: For large or bulky items, cut or break them down to maximize space and ensure a safer load.
Top with light items: Place lighter items like cardboard, white goods, and clothing at the top of the bin to avoid compaction and make the load more stable.
