Virtual vs Real Skip Bin Hire in Australia - Know What You Are Choosing

What to Look For When Choosing a Skip Hire Company

Unless you personally know the Skip Hire company, have been referred to them, have used them before or checked their facebook page for reviews, you really can’t tell. Anyone can start a skip company, advertise and you could be enticed to call. Unless you compare companies it could be a gamble in terms of prices and service but more importantly what actually happens to your waste – recycled or land filled?

Virtual Skip Bin Hire Companies vs Physical Bin Hire Companies 

It has been an increasing trend in Australia in particular of more and more virtual skip bin hire companies or more likely websites, which offer customers almost like a comparison  platform to find their bin.  Some of these virtual companies are very good, with their own dedicated customer service centre, emails and phone numbers, while others will be very generic websites, which simply pull data from a database and will identify the skip bin at the geographic area where consumer is looking for.
If you are only hiring a bin once in your life and might not need any customer service or follow up or build a relationship with your bin supplier then perhaps generic or virtual bin hire website will work for you.  However, if you are interested in building a relationship with your Skip Bin Hire Supplier, so that they will look after your waste management needs, speak to you on a phone, carefully note down all your requirements as to the time of the bin delivery, placement instructions, site contact details, any variations to your bin hire order or any other issues such as bin change over - then you can't beat dealing with the real physical bin hire company that will provide a full service.

What Happens to Your Waste?

Skip companies are not actually regulated to a great extent but the best ones such as Need A Skip Now operate their own waste transfer stations ensuring proper recycling processes.  Hence when dealing with the physical Skip Bin Hire Company, one of the fundamental questions to ask is: 

"what happens to my waste after its picked up from my home / building site / commercial site?"

You can only ask questions about your waste treatment from a physical skip bin hire company.  If you book via generic price comparison website - these questions will not be answered, nor will you likely have any information about your potential bin provider or his reliability therefore. 

Council Permits for Bins on a Road

One of the tell tales between good and qustionable companies is how they treat the issue of Council Permits.  Professional Skip Bin Hire Companies will ALWAYS apply for a permit if the bin is going on a road or a nature strip and this issue will not even be up for a discussion.  Some questionable operators out there might either: not get a permit at all or charge customer for a permit but actually never apply for it.
Council Permits for Bins on a Road are absolutely critical for compliance with Local Laws in Australia, in addition - should anything untoward happen like someone colliding with your bin overnight or any other issues - if you don't have a permit - the fines and penalties will significantly outweigh the cost of the permit.

We recommend to always pay a Due Diligence when selecting your Skip Bin Hire Supplier and we hope that you find our tips above very useful.  Should you wish to add anything to the above - we welcome your comments below this article.
