What you need to know about the 3m skip bin

Introducing the second smallest member in our collection – the 3 cubic metre skip bin. As the next size up from the 2m skip, this sturdy waste solution is the other option in our small-sized skip bin range.

The 3m skip provides a decent amount of space for a small container, offering slightly more room than the 2 cubic metre skip bin. It is also the smallest of our bins to come with a drop-down door.

Perfect for waste situations that are small but nearing medium size, it is your go-to solution when you need a small bin with a door.

Are you looking to hire a 3m skip? Here’s what you need to know.

Dimensions of the 3m skip bin

As one of our small skip bin sizes, the 3m offers a surprising amount of space for a small bin. The dimensions are as follows:

  • Volume: 3 cubic metres
  • Length: 2.5 metres
  • Width: 1.6 metres
  • Height: 1.0 metres

In total, this bin size can carry up to 3 standard car trailer loads of waste. This equates to approximately 4.5 tonnes of materials.

The waste types a 3m skip bin is available in

The 3m skip is available in all waste types! This size is also the smallest of our skips that come with a door. This makes it very appropriate for heavy loads of waste that need to be wheeled into the skip and would be a struggle to lift over.

The 3-metre bin is available to hire for:

  • General waste
  • Mixed building waste
  • Bricks & concrete
  • Dirt & clay
  • Green waste

Please note that some materials cannot be wasted in our skip bin. This includes paints, liquids, chemicals and other hazardous substances. Some items, such as car tyres and tree trunks, also incur an additional charge. Click here to learn more about what can and can’t go in a skip bin.

Situations the 3m skip bin is suited for

Are you interested in hiring this skip bin size? The 3-metre bin is the ideal waste solution for small to standard-size waste situations. It isn’t just great for renovations but also great for thorough household clean-outs.

The 3 metre skip bin is often ordered for standard-sized bathroom renovations as it is the perfect size to accommodate the majority of waste generated in these situations. It is also a great option for other renovations and clean-outs, including kitchen renovations and general household spring cleaning projects. You can maximise its use with several furniture pieces being disposed of.

Due to the space, this size is also recommended for small shop fit-outs and garage and shed clean-outs. It is a size for small excavation projects.
