What size bin will I need?

The size of a skip bin will vary depending on the type of waste that you are disposing of and the quantity. Our skip bins are measured in cubic metres and we often recommend sizing up to avoid overfilling or multiple hires.

An easy way to understand the capacity of a skip bin, is to compare with wheelie bins and trailers.

A smaller skip bin such as a 2 cubic metre bin will hold the same as 8 wheelie bins and 2 trailer loads
A 4 cubic metre bin is roughly equivalent to 12 wheelie bins and 4 trailer loads
A larger bin like 6 cubic metres will have the same capacity as 24 wheelie bins and 6 trailer loads

If you’re unsure about what size is best suited for your project, please contact our friendly team today.

FAQs

What waste types can I put in a skip bin?

Jim’s Skip Bins offers skip bins for a range of waste types, including green waste, household waste, construction waste, commercial waste, e-waste and materials such as soil, dirt and glass. Choosing the correct waste type ensures your rubbish can be sorted and disposed of responsibly.

Can I mix different waste types in one skip bin?

No, waste types cannot be mixed within the same skip bin. Each skip bin is allocated to a specific waste type so it can be disposed of correctly. For example, an e-waste skip bin cannot contain green waste or general rubbish. Mixing waste types may prevent your bin from being collected.

What is considered green waste?

Green waste includes organic materials such as grass clippings, branches, leaves, weeds and other garden waste. This type of waste is commonly generated during gardening, landscaping and outdoor clean ups.

What items are classified as household waste?

Household waste generally includes everyday household items, furniture, whitegoods and general rubbish from clean outs or small renovations. If you are unsure whether an item qualifies as household waste, our team can help clarify the best option.

What is construction waste?

Construction waste includes materials generated from building, renovation or demolition projects. This can include timber, bricks, concrete and other building materials. Some heavy materials may require specific bins to meet weight limits.

What is e-waste and how is it handled?

E-waste refers to electronic waste such as computers, phones, lighting and entertainment equipment. E-waste requires specialised disposal, and our dedicated e-waste skip bins ensure these items are handled in an environmentally responsible way.

What waste types are not accepted in skip bins?

Certain items cannot be placed in any skip bin. These include asbestos, putrescible waste, wet paint, flammable materials, poisons and hazardous chemicals. These items require specialised disposal methods.

What should I do if I am unsure about my waste type?

If you are unsure which waste type your rubbish falls under, it is best to contact our friendly team before booking. We can advise what can and cannot go in your skip bin and help you choose the correct waste type for your needs.

Does the waste type affect the skip bin size I need?

Yes, the type of waste can impact the size of the skip bin you should choose. Heavy materials like soil or concrete may require smaller bins due to weight limits, while lighter waste types can often be placed in larger bins. We often recommend sizing up if you are unsure.
