GENERAL WASTE

When you start de-cluttering your home or getting rid of old furniture and appliances, you’ll be amazed at how much space you have. It’s important that you hire the get the best bin to get rid of your general waste as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way of keeping your home free from unnecessary mess.

WHAT IS GENERAL WASTE?

General waste can be classified as various household items that can be disposed of. This includes items such as:

KID’S TOYS

FURNITURE

CLOTHES

APPLIANCES

CARDBOARD

METALS & PLASTICS

In many instances, this type of waste is often left out on a kerb or nature strip by homeowners after they’ve completed spring cleaning. One of the issues with doing this is that pickers will often rummage through the waste, which can result in waste items being left all over the place. When you hire a skip bin from Nkageng Skip Bins, the only thing that you’ll need to worry about is what you’re going to do with all that extra space!

DISPOSABLE MATERIALS

Disposing of general waste in our skip bins needs to be done according to certain specifications. If you hire one of our general waste skip bins, the items that you can put in are mostly household items, such as furniture and appliances.
Items that shouldn’t be placed in our general waste skip bins include bricks, concrete, soil, food, liquid or large green waste items. If you’re looking to dispose of items such as this, don’t worry. We have skip bins that are made to dispose of a range of items, including building waste and green waste.

LOADING YOUR GENERAL WASTE SKIP BIN PROPERLY

When loading your general waste into a skip bin please make sure not to fill above the rim. Overflowing your skip bin not only has the potential to make the area surrounding the bin dirty, but it also makes it very difficult for us to transport the bin without waste falling on the way back to our yard. If you’re planning a garage clean-out or a spring-cleaning project, make sure you have the right bin for the job. We encourage you to load as much as you can in the bin just remember not to load past the rim. If you have any further enquiries, contact us online or call our friendly team today

FINDING THE PERFECT BIN SIZE

After choosing the type of bin that you’ll need for your clean-up, you’ll need to choose the right bin size. But, how do you determine the right bin size? The size of bin you’ll need will be determined by the size of the clean-up you’re doing, with larger clean-ups requiring larger bins. At Nkageng Skip Bins, we’ve got a range of skip bin sizes that are suited for a range of jobs, from our small 2m3 skip bin, perfect for minor renovations, to our massive 11m3 skip bin, which is ideal for waste management on large building sites.
