FAQs

What skip bins are suitable for events and festivals?

Jim’s Skip Bins offers a range of skip bins suitable for events and festivals of all sizes. Whether you’re hosting a small private event or a large public festival, we can provide skip bins that suit your waste type and expected volume to keep your site clean and organised.

What types of waste are common at events and festivals?

Events and festivals typically generate general waste such as food containers, cups, packaging and mixed rubbish. Some events may also produce construction waste from stages, pop-up bars or temporary structures during pack-down.

What waste types can be placed in event skip bins?

For most events, general waste skip bins are the best option for everyday rubbish. If your event involves setting up or dismantling structures, a construction waste skip bin can be used for materials such as timber, metal, bricks, concrete and rubble.

Can I mix different waste types in one skip bin?

No, waste types should not be mixed in the same skip bin. Each skip bin is designated for a specific waste type so it can be disposed of correctly. Mixing waste types may prevent your bin from being collected.

What skip bin size do I need for an event?

The right skip bin size depends on the size of your event, the number of attendees and how much waste you expect to generate. Smaller events may only need a compact bin, while large festivals may require multiple larger bins. If you are unsure, we recommend sizing up to avoid overfilling.

Can Jim’s Skip Bins service events Australia-wide?

Yes, Jim’s Skip Bins provides skip bin hire for events and festivals across Australia. With local franchises in every state and territory, we can arrange prompt delivery and collection wherever your event is held.
