Choosing the right skip bin size involves a few key considerations. You’ll need to think about the type of waste you’re disposing of, the volume of waste and the size of the materials. These factors will help you find a bin that’s both cost-effective and suitable for your project.
To make sure you choose the correct size, it’s a good idea to organise the waste before ordering your bin. If you’re not able to fully sort everything out, at least create a rough list of things you will dispose of. By sorting through what you’re disposing of, you’ll have a better sense of how much waste there is and whether you’ll need a larger or smaller skip. Many people tend to underestimate the size they need, so pre-sorting can help prevent ordering the wrong bin.
If you can’t organise the waste beforehand, take a moment to assess the types and sizes of items you’ll be throwing away. This quick assessment can give you a general idea of what skip size you’ll require.

Before ordering a skip bin, it’s important to consider where it will be placed. The location plays a key role, as you might not have enough space for larger bins. That’s why we recommend deciding on the placement of your skip bin ahead of time to ensure it fits.
