Where Should I Put my Skip Bin? Pro Placement Tips - Bonza Bins

1. Where Should I Put my Skip Bin? Pro Placement Tips

2. Placing a Bin for Safety • When it comes to hiring a skip bin, there are plenty of things to consider. You need to know the correct size, when it can be dropped off, when it will be picked up, and what exactly you can put in it. • Above everything else, safety must be prioritised. • If your skip bin is placed in the way of vehicles, in an area where children normally play, or in a way that makes it hard to reach, you could be compromising the safety of yourself, your family, and your neighbours.

3. Placing a Bin for Ease • You want to make it as easy as possible for the drivers delivering your skip bin to do their jobs. • Not every household has an expansive drive or open grassy area on which to place a bin, but there are certainly things you can keep that will make the job that much easier. • Have your skip bin placed somewhere that doesn’t have any trees or telephone poles around - this way, there’s no chance of causing accidental damage to your area, which you may be fined for. • As well as this, ensure that the placement of your skip bin doesn’t restrict the access to any utility lines, telephone poles, or electricity boxes that may need to be surveyed.

4. Keep It Clear • Wherever possible, you should have your skip bin placed on your own property in order to avoid inconveniencing your neighbours - but be sure to check first whether the bin you have ordered will fit. • If you are hiring one of our “heavy” skip bins - 6m3 or above - there is a risk that your driveway could be damaged, and in this case, it is better to have it placed on the verge. • If the bin cannot be placed on your property, make sure to check with your local authorities on their policies when it comes to skip bins. • If your skip bin is placed on the roadside, try as much as possible to ensure it isn’t in the way of other drivers on the road.

5. The Grass is Greener • If you are opting to have your skip bin placed in your garden, be aware that damage could be caused to your grass. • While this damage isn’t usually long-lasting, there are ways to avoid it. • Try placing wooden planks down where you would like your skip bin to be placed to avoid direct contact between your garden and the bin.

6. What to Avoid • Just as there are things to keep in mind when choosing the placement of your skip bin, there are also things to avoid. • The main thing to steer clear of is placing your skip bin somewhere that makes it difficult for the delivery drivers to drop off and pick back up. • They should be able to drive in and out quickly and easily, without running into any issues. • You should also avoid placing your skip bin anywhere that will cause a problem for your neighbours. • If you live in a crowded area or a cul-de-sac, take the time to speak to each of your neighbours that may be affected and gain their consent before placing your skip bin.
