How to Choose the Right Size
Collect all your waste (or imagine it) in one pile. That will make measuring its length, width, and height easy. For example, a pile of rubbish with the dimensions of 2.5m (L) x 1.5m (W) x 1.8m (H) equals 6.75 cubic metres or 7 (rounded off to the nearest whole number). That means you should order a 7 or 8 cubic metre skip bin.
Useful Tip
Bigger is better in our industry. We recommend that clients go one size bigger when making your choice. We do so because we find that people underestimate the amount of rubbish they’ll generate. Then they call us and need to order another one, as you can imagein this becomes an expensive exercise.
Save yourself some money by choosing to the next bin size rather than ordering another and paying unnecessary costs.
How Big is a Cubic Metre?
Think of a cube measuring 1-metre-long x 1-metre-wide x 1-metre high – that makes one cubic metre.
The standard wheelie bin you probably have at home is a 240-litre capacity. And a cubic metre space can accommodate slightly more waste than what 4 of these bins can carry.
