Frequently asked questions
- What waste can go into the Skippy bin?
- You can put both garden and general rubbish in the Skippy. With our standard $199 services, we can’t take anything hazardous (asbestos, polystyrene, batteries and the like) but we are able to provide a separate quote to safely remove and dispose of such items. For more information, please contact us or read our Terms and Conditions.
- Can I mix general and garden waste?
- Yes, no problem.
- What if I have special requirements, such as a commercial job?
- If you need something outside our standard service (such as multiple sites, large quantities of rubbish, long-term hire, hazardous waste, commercial jobs), please contact us for a customized quote.
- Where can I get a Skippy bin?
- Our Skippy skip bins are available Auckland-wide by going to our website or calling us on 0800-SKIPPY.
- With the Full Service option, where do I put the rubbish and how long will you stay to load it?
- If you’re not going to be home, just put your rubbish in a pile. Otherwise, you can show us what you want to get rid of around your property. Two guys will be there for 30 minutes to load it all into the Skippy. They’ll even clean up after themselves as long as time allows. If you require more than 30 minutes, additional charges may apply.
- How much rubbish can I put into the Skippy bin?
- The price allows for rubbish up to 300kgs in weight. If you exceed 300kgs, you will be charged $30 per 100kgs or part thereof.
- What happens if my rubbish doesn’t fit inside the Skippy?
- We’ll give you a call to see what you’d like us to do.
- What happens if my Skippy is overweight?
- If you exceed 300kgs, you will be charged $30 per 100kgs or part thereof.
- How long can I hire a Skippy bin for?
- For the 24 Hour Delivered service, the minimum hire period is one day/24 hours (this is included in the $199 price). From there, you can add as many extra days as you like for $45 per day.
- Do I need to be home?
- No. Just tell us where the rubbish is or where you want the Skippy parked and we’ll take care of it for you.
- What happens if I need more time with the Skippy bin after I’ve received it?
- Firstly, give us a call and let us know you need more time. Depending on how much time you need, there may be an extra charge.
