Tips On How To Avoid Skip Bin Fires

Tips on How to Avoid Skip Bin Fires

Skip bin hire services can help you out if you have a lot of rubbish to dispose of. Skip bins are made specifically to store all kinds of garbage and rubbish. These bins come in different sizes and correct size of the bin should be procured based on the amount of garbage that will be produced. Inform the skip bin hire services the height of the skip bin you need when you plan to hire skip bin. These skip bins have doors to allow easy access and safety in loading.

Ramps facilitate smooth loading of garbage. They have tarps over them too so that the garbage is not blown out when it is being transported away.

What not to do!

There are certain dos and don’ts attached to skip bins. Find out from the company about what type of garbage is allowed to be loaded in the skip bin and what is not. Electronics and electrical equipment are prone to fire hazards so they should be completely avoided. The same rule applies to petrol, chemicals and solvents.

For the safety of all concerned and to be environmentally conscious, it is necessary that any gas bottles, oil, paint, thinners, liquid waste, tires, explosives, or flammable materials are not put into the bin as they can cause fires as well. Let’s have a look at some other tips to prevent fires in skip bins when you opt for skip bin hire services:

1.    Keep skips at a minimum distance of 10 meters away from the building.

2.    Full skip should be transported away as soon as possible.

3.    Full skips should not be left during the holidays or even weekends.

4.    Fire exits should not be blocked.

5.    The skips should only be placed in designated areas.

6.    Skip bins should not be near smoking areas.

7.    Bins that are not being used should be locked.

8.    Never store the wheelie bins near doors or windows because in case there is a fire in the bin, it will easily spread due to the wood.

9.    Never overfill the wheelie or else inflammable loose rubbish can easily catch fire.

10.    Hot items should not be placed in the skip bin hire, including charcoal from barbeques, fireplace ash, ashtray contents, etc. These items need to be cooled and only then can it be disposed of in the skip bin.

11.    Use a bin with a lid in bushfire season.

12.    Never put acids, grease, noxious materials, pesticides, herbicides, batteries, mattresses, gas cylinders and gas bottles in the bins.

13.    Also in green bins tree branches, twigs, timber, sleepers, lumber, copper logs and stumps more than 100 mm in diameter are not allowed.

How to Find the Right Skip Bin Company

How to Find the Right Skip Bin Company

 There's no denying that Skip Bins are especially important. When deciding on a company to provide you with a skip bin, it's essential that you take recycling methods into consideration. With all the trash that we as people accumulate on an annual basis, every step that someone makes in the environmentally friendly direction is a change for the better in the environment. Making a change isn't hard. There are quite a few things you can implement to make the best use of skip bins while being environmentally friendly.

The first thing you may want to look at is ensuring that the company you have selected is one that does indeed work with the environment's best interest in mind. If you are in the Brisbane region, then getting a skip bin from a company like Home Skip Bins Brisbane is a great direction to take. They've got many measures in place when it comes to recycling and ensuring that our landfills don't get exponentially bigger from the way they operate their business.

The next thing you will want to do is to really think about the products you are disposing of. This means that rather than ordering your skip bin and then sorting through your junk, you'll want to sort through everything first so you know exactly what skip bin you will be in need of. Some companies offer different skip bins and have a restriction as to what you can place in these bins and what you aren't allowed to dispose of in particular bins. Therefore, knowing what you want to get rid beforehand of and the bin you will need, is especially important.

Find out what your neighbors want to get rid of. This will save you a lot of money and you'll also be ensuring that your neighbours are disposing of their waste in the right way as well. What will also benefit you is in the case that you have different products that you'd like to dispose of and would therefore be in need of more than one skip bins, due to the restrictions on what you can place in a particular bin, you can split the cost with the neighbours. During the time that you are sorting through your products, don't be afraid to get the neighbours involved and see what they need to get rid of so that you can plan accordingly.

Is a skip bin what you need? Some products may need to be disposed of in a skip bin, while others may do just fine in the bins provided by the community. Sort through your trash well and decide on what ways to recycle particular items.

Know how much you will be expected to pay for special items. When looking to dispose of electronics as well as paint and perhaps even asbestos contaminated products you will be required to take another route than a skip bin. In this case, you'll want to find out what charges you will be expected to incur and also exactly how you are expected to dispose of such materials.

Outside of deciding on a skip bin that is needed for specific products you will want to ensure that you hire one that is easily accessible. Especially when you're looking at transporting heavy objects, rather than having to hoist them over the top, a skip bin with a door will be more convenient.
