Save money by picking the right size skip bin

When you choose the right sized skip bin for your project, you’ll save money in the long run. At Jim’s Skip Bins we usually recommend sizing up. This is because most people underestimate the amount of waste they will generate and having to hire multiple bins is time-consuming and an additional expense. Sizing up your skip bin will also prevent the risk of overfilling. Skip bins that have waste above their rim are considered overfilled and are unable to be removed due to safety.
