Choosing the right skip bin size in Glenorchy
The right size depends on how much you are throwing out and how heavy it is. A Glenorchy garage clean out might only need a 2m³ bin, while a full renovation of an older weatherboard home can easily fill a 10m³ or 20m³ skip.
- 2m³: 8 wheelie bins or 2 box trailers. Suits small clean ups and heavy waste.
- 4m³: 16 wheelie bins or 4 box trailers. Suits garage clear outs and bathroom renovations.
- 6m³: 24 wheelie bins or 6 box trailers. Suits moving house and kitchen renovations.
- 10m³: about 40 wheelie bins or 10 box trailers. Suits whole house clean ups and larger renovations.
- 20m³: our largest bin, for building sites and commercial clear outs.

How to choose the right skip bin size
Choosing a skip size is easier when you follow a few rules of thumb:
- Pile your rubbish together and estimate it in trailer loads
- If you're between two sizes, go up one. It costs less than hiring a second bin
- Bulky items such as lounges and mattresses take more room than you expect
- Dirt, bricks, concrete and tiles go in a separate concrete and dirt bin
- Bins must be filled level with the rim so they can be transported safely
