When more than just skip bin sizes matter, what else is there to consider

6m Skip Bin for hire

 
Here is a 6m skip ready to be filled with construction waste! Oops we forgot to get a bin that has wheelbarrow access. So now it will be necessary to lift all that heavy construction waste into the skip bin over the rim of the bin. Your first thought maybe that isn't the end of the world.  It can only be a few hours work for a fit young man.





Hmmm.. Did you know that each cubic metre is equivalent to 4 full wheelbarrow loads.  So in-fact to fill the 6 cubic metre bin is 24 wheelbarrow loads.  So that means that if you assume each load will take 15 minutes to load move and unload, you could spend  up-to 6 hours filling the 6m skip bin.

Skip bins with wheel barrow access would be a good idea!

Another option might be a low-sided bin. This style of skip bin is called a hook lift bin after the name of the lifting hook used to deliver and pick up the bin.

Low sided 6m hook lift bin. The best for loading heavy materials in.
