Keeping Garbage Bins Clean

While it might seem strange to worry about keeping your garbage bins clean, it is also very important. I discovered this when I hired a set of garbage bins and then didn't clean them for about 6 months. The result was that I opened the bin one day and saw that it had a very large rat inside it. I was really afraid. I called in a contractor and he recommended that I have the bins professionally cleaned and gave me some great advice about looking after my garbage bins. I decided to share it here to help others to care for their bins.

Little-Known Benefits of Hiring Skip Bins for Renovation Projects

Home renovations produce a lot of waste, which homeowners must get rid of upon completing the projects. Skip bins offer the perfect solution for managing such waste since they are big and can accommodate a lot of renovation rubbish. Most contractors prefer to hire skip bins rather than buy their own, and for good reasons. Hiring skip bins is a cheaper option from an operational and storage perspective. Rental skips are also convenient since hiring companies deliver and pick them from project sites. However, there are other lesser-known benefits of hiring skip bins, as highlighted in this article.

Frees Work Space — Home renovation contractors require enough space to work. For instance, enough workspace allows for strategic placement of tools and movement of renovation crews around project sites. However, such space is hard to come by when a renovation project starts, and waste accumulates everywhere on the compound. It is especially the case when a contractor divides a crew into several groups to work on different areas of a house. Unfortunately, the waste generated from various home sections can easily lead to a messy and chaotic site. Consequently, it deprives crews of enough working space. Hiring a skip bin and disposing of all the renovation waste avails adequate working space for a renovation contractor. Thus, it makes moving around a worksite easy and safe for the renovation team.

Project-Specific Choices — Most homeowners and renovation contractors believe that skip bins are one-size-fits-all pieces of equipment. However, nothing could be further from the truth because skip bin models differ, with some being better suited for specific projects than others. For instance, construction and renovation projects produce heavy waste, such as timber, iron, and concrete. Therefore, carrying and throwing rubbish over the sides of a skip bin can cause musculoskeletal injuries to a renovation crew. It might explain why walk-in skip bins are perfect for construction, demolition and renovation projects. Rather than throw renovation waste over the sides, walk-in skips allow workers to walk right inside. In addition, the ability to hire project-specific skip bins makes disposal of renovation waste easy for contractors.

Eases Sorting of Waste — Renovation waste includes electric cables, ceramics, concrete, plastics, metals and soil. Some of the waste is recyclable, while others are non-recyclable. Therefore, sorting the different types of renovation waste can be pretty challenging when a contractor buys one or two large skip bins. Instead, a contractor can hire several medium-sized skip bins and allocate each to different types of renovation waste. Most importantly, it eases the sorting process and makes the rubbish collection a breeze for garbage collectors.
