Choose a Skip Bin over a Rubbish Removal Company

Before deciding if you should choose a skin bin or a rubbish removal company, it is worth evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of both services. There are many variables, including flexibility, price and environmental impact. In this article, we will compare some of these factors.

Flexibility

Have you ever started one job only to realise there was something else you had to finish first? Or realised halfway through a job that you only had materials for half of the day and will definitely need to come back the next day to finish it?

In both of these situations, rubbish removal would need to be recalled. With rubbish removal services, you are paying for people to be on site and remove your rubbish for you. They might not take very long to remove the rubbish itself, but they will need to be recalled as soon as there is more rubbish to deal with.

In both of these situations, you would be laughing if you had a skip hired. Even if the skip was booked for pick-up, it's a simple matter of calling the skip company and extending their lease to you. The skip would be ready for your rubbish when you are ready to dispose of it. This also means there is no stress and things can take the proper amount of time to be done right.

Environmental Consciousness

Rubbish removal services do not typically sort your recyclables. If they are called to collect something, it is general waste, regardless of where it comes from and what it is. Some rubbish removal companies will collect garden waste, but not many. This is one of the ways they attempt to make their service affordable, if they had to sort their own recyclables the job would take much longer and cost you a lot more.

When you load your own skip, you have the choice in every item you toss. It is easy to separate recyclable materials that you don't need to pay for disposal.

Another downfall of rubbish removal services is that they are not going to separate potential valuable items for a garage sale, it is all going to landfill. This can be a particular issue with clearing out a deceased estate. It can be an extremely sensitive time and a rubbish removal company are unlikely to give the respect required to family if they are simply tossing everything.

Save Yourself Money

Hiring a skip can certainly be cheaper than hiring rubbish removalists. Call around for quotes before you commit to a particular service.

A skip is much simpler, you know exactly how much it will cost you. You have all of the time to make sure everything makes it into the skip that needs to go.
