T&C Skip Hire
By using our services you accept our terms and conditions as below;
1. PROHIBITED ITEMS - asbestos, tyres, paints, oils are prohibited from skip bins and will attract extra charges.
For more info see HAZARDOUS MATERIALS per our website.
We are responsible for the safety and health of our employees, asbestos illegally or unknowingly placed in GuardAway bins is a very serious issue. Our skips are numbered and tracked, so we can identify the source of asbestos. We charge a minimum of $950 if we discover asbestos in our bins. As this causes lockdown of operations. If we suspect asbestos in bin we may request a credit card deduction to assist with initial safety precautions.
2. All bins up to 12 cubic metres have a weight capacity of 5 tonne limit for bins: advise in advance if including concrete, bricks or wet soil into bin as increases weight significantly. Note this limit can easily be reached with oversized concrete or soil type aggregate mixed in with standard builders waste. OVERWEIGHT > 5 tonnes, please advise in advance if including concrete or wet soil into bin as this can increase weight significantly, which can incur excess charge. Where bin is loaded with heavy soil /concrete please note 5 tonnes would be reached at the half way mark on a 6m bin.
As a guide to weights; 5 tonne is reached at 4 cubic meters for following waste type: bricks, concrete rubble, soil, clay. If receive 6 cubic meter bin fill to just over half way mark, top fill with light waste.
3. ADDITIONAL COSTS APPLY IF: bin weight exceeds the invoice quoted limit of weight. Ensure waste type matches this quote. *weight over (invoiced) X weight tonne will incur an additional sorting fee of minimum $80 OR extra $118 per tonne.
- 3.1 TYPE OF WASTE if you state that your waste type is for example, Green waste, Brick Tile or Concrete only, then you must ensure that no other waste is placed in the skip bin. If this occurs it becomes a mixed load which changes the disposal costs & can become quite expensive due to the weight. Ask us about separating Bricks, concrete, tiles & soil from other general waste to recycle and save. Unless specifically quoted General Waste does no include heavy aggregate, bricks, concrete. Extra sort charges apply if found in General Waste Skip Bin. Minimum $80 sort fee.
