Shifting To a New House? Let Skip Bins Make the Move Simpler

Posted by Michael Harley6 on November 16th, 2020

Households in cities of Australia and New Zealand hire Marrel skip bins to dispose of their junk from time to time. This renting of skip bins is most common in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney during spring cleaning and on other occasions when houses need to be thoroughly cleaned.

Skip bins and hook lift bins also prove useful while moving to a new house. Professional movers bring these large containers to help their clients in collecting all furniture and packed boxes before moving them to the new location.

If a family is planning to relocate and is ready for the move-out cleaning, it may find different items in the house that were just occupying space and would not be needed in the new home.

With a big skip bin out in the yard, the family can easily collect all such items in a place before sending them off to waste management and recycling companies. If any of the items are usable they can donate them to charity organisations.

Organising stuff in the rooms of the new home may also take lot of time and skip bins can be rented for this work too. If the weather is rainy, one can also cover these bins with waterproof sheets to protect the stored material. On hiring the services of a professional moving company, the workers will ensure that the contents of bin are safely stored until all items are taken out from it.

Besides households, businesses can also hire skip bins to move things like furniture, cabinets and packed boxes when they relocate to another site.

While using skip bins for commercial products it should be remembered that only heavy-duty bins can be hired to transport materials that are hazardous in nature – chemicals, fuel and sharp objects. Some companies do not permit loading of such items in their skip and hook lift bins at all. The terms and conditions of usage should therefore be checked in advance.

Loading things on to the bin

Suppliers give a choice of bins available in different dimensions and cubic meters capacity. A good rule while choosing a bin is to measure the width of driveway and ensure that there are no sagging power lines or any other structure that will obstruct the way of the truck that transports the skip bin.

Once the bin is selected, all the packed items that need to be moved in it should be arranged closest to the bin – this makes it easier to get them loaded on to the skip bin. When it is not possible to get a big bin delivered to a spot close to the location (from where the items have to be picked), it is fine to order a smaller bin that can make more than one trip to the site where the items are to be moved.

Marrel skip bin whose size ranges between 2 cubic meters and 17 cubic meters is the most commonly used skip bin in Australia.  It has tall sidewalls but is not very long and therefore does not occupy much room. It can be parked in an area required for an average-sized car.

And where to get your bin from? Contact a company that supplies equipment such as cattle panels, hook lift bins, filter cloth and mining gear for their skip bin stocks. The customer service reps should be able to help you with the right sized bin making your relocation move easier and budget-friendly.
