Conditions of Skip Bin Hire and Usage of Skip Bins
- All bin orders are to be prepaid prior to delivery with the exception of business account holders. If a bin is booked and then cancelled, a cancellation fee of $35 may apply.
- Do not fill the bin past the top rail. We cannot transport an overloaded bin. If the bin is overloaded, the driver will try to remove the overloaded items from the skip and place them in a pile next to where the bin is. You will be charged an additional $100 plus GST for us to complete this service.
- Overweight bins will NOT be transported. Listed below are the suitable weights for each bin size. The bin will not be transported if it exceeds the Max Weight Allowed as it is not within our Safe Working Load, and it is illegal, heavy fines and loss of points would apply to the driver. It will be the customer’s cost and responsibility to unload the skip to a safe working load, and the customer may also be liable for additional bin hire fees if they cannot unload the bin promptly.
