How long am I able to keep the bin?
Cost of the bin includes hire for up to seven days. Collection can be made earlier if service is no longer needed.
How much waste can I put in the bin?
You can fill the bin evenly to the square top of the bin. It is very important not to overload the bin as this is a safety issue when covering and transporting the bin.
We suggest you pack your waste in the bin with no spaces between your waste materials to maximise the available space. Break large pieces into smaller pieces, cut tree branches into smaller branches and flatten boxes for best results.
