| General Waste | Unlimited Bins has a large range of different-sized bins to help you with your General Clean-up project, big or small. General Waste is considered a clean-up of your Home or office area. Our skip bins are suitable for Household appliances, whitegoods, TV’s, furniture, cardboard, clothes, toys, bikes etc. They can also take light Green Waste such as branches, leaves, and grass cuttings. NO SOIL OR TREE REMOVAL. Office furniture is accepted. However, if it is larger timber-based items/furniture, chip board, and MDF, you would be required to book a Light Builders Bin. Tonnage limits may apply. If you need a bin for General Waste, please ensure you follow our correct waste management protocol which involves excluding certain waste types. GENERAL WASTE BINS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR ANY BUILDING MATERIAL LIKE SOIL, CONCRETE, BRICKS, TILES, TIMBER, OR PLASTER. |

| Green Waste Only | Have you done a garden or backyard maintenance clean-up before? We all know how much green waste can pile up over time and doesn’t fit into our weekly collection. Unlimited Bins can offer a Green Waste Only bin for a cheaper price as long as it is 100% Green Waste Only. For recycling purposes, we can take all Green Waste to a designated recycling station and therefore reduce the cost of landfill tipping fees. Green Waste only can include branches, leaves, and grass cuttings. When the Green Waste is taken to the recycling station, it is recycled into gardening mulch which is why they are very strict on the types of waste accepted. THIS WASTE TYPE CANNOT INCLUDE SOIL OR TREE STUMPS AS PART OF A GREEN WASTE ONLY BIN. |

| Light Builders Bins | Acceptable Items include Soil, Sand, Concrete, Bricks and Roof Tiles only. – NO Rubbish |

| Builders/Mixed Heavy Bins | Building/Renovation Bins are perfect for your Home Renovation as well as your Building Site Requirements. Our small-to-medium-sized bins ranging from 2m3 – 6m3 with no weight limits can take all building materials such as concrete, bricks, tiles, timber, plaster, and soil/sand. It is also suitable for General Waste and Green Waste and makes this bin ideal for your required mixed waste types. If you require a larger-sized bin from our 8m3 – 12m3 range, then tonnage limits apply. These bin sizes cannot take any concrete, bricks, tiles, or soil. Please be aware that larden and horsehair plaster may make your tonnage limit go over the allowance of weight allowed for our larger sized bins. While Unlimited Bins help and encourage our customers to correctly dispose of waste types and recycle as much as possible, at times the mixture of construction waste would take a lifetime to separate out from each other. The Builders Renovation Bin therefore is what is needed. IF YOU COME ACROSS ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, SUCH AS ASBESTOS, YOU SHOULD CALL AN APPROPRIATE ASBESTOS REMOVAL COMPANY IN YOUR AREA. SPECIALIST TEAMS ARE IN PLACE TO EXAMINE YOUR PROPERTY FOR ANY POTENTIALLY HARMFUL MATERIAL AND DISPOSE OF IT IN THE CORRECT AND APPROPRIATE WAY AS WE ARE NOT LICENCED TO CARRY THIS HAZARDOUS WASTE. |

| Concrete Only | Pulling up a driveway or concreted area? Unlimited Bins can offer a Concrete Only bin for a cheaper price as long as it is 100% Concrete Only. Steel Reo bar is acceptable in the concrete. For recycling purposes, we can take our concrete to a designated recycling station and therefore reduce the cost of the bin to our customers. The recycling station will then have the concrete crushed and re-purposed back into the building and construction industry for things like a road base. NO WET CONCRETE IS TO BE PLACED IN THE BIN. |
