Skip Bin Hire Melbourne: Why Large Dumpsters Can Be More Cost Effective

Skip bin hire Melbourne: when arranging waste management and recycling services (such as Melbourne rubbish removal) for your business, a general rule of thumb is that regular, scheduled collections of industrial rubbish bins are significantly cheaper than one off skip bin services.

 

When we speak to customers – who may be new in business or are seeking to expand their operations – there is often confusion over what kind of bin they require – i.e. whether they need skip bin hire Melbourne services or a regular dumpster hire or larger bin.

 

We will seek to answer this question and more in today’s blog on skip bin hire Melbourne.

 

Skip bin hire Melbourne vs large dumpster styles bins for your business

 

Skip bin hire Melbourne: with a skip bin – a large bin (up to c.30 cubic metres) is delivered and left on site for a set period of time. The bin is generally delivered and picked up by a dedicated truck.

With a Front Lift Bin / Dumpster service – the bin is not removed each time it is emptied – it is simply flipped into a garbage truck. This delivers considerable economies and reduces the cost of collection for business customers.
