Skip bins
Loading your bin
Load it right and it goes on the truck first time. Load it wrong and we cannot legally lift it.
Load it like this and it goes on the truck first time, every time.
1
Load heavy items first
Put bricks, concrete and other heavy material in the bottom of the bin.
2
Break it down
Flatten boxes and break up bulky items so they pack in tighter.
3
Keep it level
Keep the load level with the top of the bin so it's safe to transport.

What goes on top
Lighter, bulkier items belong on top so nothing spills during pickup.
Weight allowance
Each bin size has a weight allowance included — see the bin sizes page for the exact allowance per size.
