How much does it cost to hire a skip bin in Auckland? Well, it really depends on which company you ask… Most skip bin hire companies will charge per bin, so it doesn’t matter if your skip is chocka after you pulled a sickie from work and stayed home to clear out the garage, or if you’ve only thrown out your favourite pair of budgie smugglers.
To help you figure out how much you’ll need to get your next skip sorted, let’s take a look at the numbers.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Skip Bin in Auckland?
First, a wee disclaimer: The cost of hiring a skip bin in Auckland can vary depending on several factors, including where in Auckland you live, the size of the bin, how long you’d like to hire the skip bin for, and the specific company you choose to hire from. To determine which option is best for your needs, it’s best to shop around and contact skip bin hire companies directly so that you can gather accurate and up-to-date pricing information.
When it comes to hiring a skip bin, there are so many companies out there, and each company likely has a few options. We can’t speak for everyone else, but here are some of our options, if you’re in the market for a skip bin:
General waste skip bins
Over the last few years, the Government has been progressively increasing and expanding the national waste disposal levy. The Government uses the revenue gathered from the waste disposal levy for initiatives supporting greener alternatives to waste disposal, such as composting and recycling. The levy also acts as a bit of a deterrent by encouraging people to carefully consider what they send to the skip.
Not much help if you need to send rubbish to the dump though, is it? Thankfully, you’ve got options! And you might be surprised by just how many options are out there.
At Pink Bins, we offer standard skip bins for hire in various sizes from 3 cubic metres, all the way to a colossal 35 cubic metres—now that’s definitely more junk than you can fit in your trunk!
With prices starting at $320* a bin, and the potential for WINZ assistance if you’re eligible, it might not seem like a whole lot to fork out to rid your place of junk, but it’s not just about how much it costs you to hire a skip bin, it’s also about how much it costs our planet. Be sure to ask your skip bin supplier what happens to your rubbish once they take it away—if they can’t tell you, that’s a red flag. If they’re proud of their waste minimisation systems (like we are), they’ll be shouting from the rooftops about their process!
Other bins
Our awesome team makes every possible effort to send as much as we can to recycling by sorting through the contents of each skip bin in our recycling facilities. But, if you’re looking for a more environmentally-friendly option, particularly if you’ve got a large amount of construction waste, or green waste to remove, have a chat with us about which bin would suit your needs—this could help keep waste out of the skip, while keeping your hard-earned money in your back pocket.
We can leave a skip with you for an agreed number of days while you load it up, or if you’re short on space and unable to keep it onsite, we can wait while you load your skip. Usually, 30 minutes is enough time for this service, but if you’d like to discuss having our driver wait a little longer, we can arrange that for you!
We also offer Hazibags—if you have asbestos, or other hazardous waste to dispose of, these bags are perfect as they keep the contents contained during collection and transit, so your waste can be sent straight to the landfill, without causing any harm to you, your family, or our team.
If you still have waste to remove after you’ve sent your timber or GIB to be recycled, and your hazardous waste to the dump, a skip bag could be a good idea for you…
Skip bags
They’re like skip bins’ younger siblings—perfect if you’d like to fill a skip at your own pace, if space is at a premium, or if you’d like to save some moolah!
Starting at $170*, a Pink Bag may be a good option if you don’t have enough waste to fill a whole skip, or you don’t have the space for a skip on your property. Coming in 1, 2, and 3 cubic metre sizes, there’s plenty of room for whatever you’ve Marie-Kondoed.
You can put a huge range of waste into a skip bag, including construction and commercial waste, household waste, and green waste—just be sure it doesn’t get too heavy, otherwise we’ll struggle to take it away for you!
Think Pink!
So, wherever you live in Auckland, and whatever you’re sussing out a skip bin for, hiring a skip bin can be a convenient and efficient solution for managing waste during whatever project you’ve got on the go. Understanding the factors that affect skip bin hire costs such as bin size, duration of hire, type of waste, and additional services allows you to choose the best option for your needs.
