FAQ
Reliable skip bin hire in Perth
The team here at Backyard Bins has been in the rubbish removal and skip bin hire business since 2003, so we've been asked lots of questions over the years. Our invaluable experience in rubbish removals means we always have the answers. Below you’ll find answers to some of the questions we are asked most frequently:
How long can I keep the bin?
We are flexible with the rental period of all skip bins. Our skip bins are usually hired for a 5-7 day turnaround, but we don’t mind you keeping the bin longer, if required. All we ask is that you let us know if you need to extend the length of your skip bin hire. Alternatively, if you only require the bin for a day or two, this can also be arranged.
Are your trucks rear loading or side loading?
All of our skip bins are loaded off the back of the truck. We need to reverse into the location that the bin is to be placed.
Do your skip bins have ramps?
Most of our skip bins have ramps for easy rubbish removal, except the 10m3 bin, which has a low opening at the back so you can still easily access the bin.
Can I request a particular location for placement of the bin?
Yes, as long as we have good access with no overhanging tree branches, house eaves or low power lines that could hinder delivery. Our expert drivers can assess location on the day of delivery.
Can you put bins at a rear access house?
Yes, as long as we have a driveway of at least three metres in width and we can back straight down.
What are your accepted payment methods?
Payment is required on or before the delivery day of the skip bin. We accept payment by cash, Visa or MasterCard (a 1.29% credit card surcharge applies), or EFT. Unfortunately, we cannot accept payment by cheque.
Our bank details for EFT payments are as follows:
BSB: 066 173
Account No: 1023 1074
Account Name: Backyard Bins
Note: Please use your name as the reference.
EFT payments must be received in our account prior to delivery of the skip bin. Alternatively, a copy of the bank transfer receipt sent to us via email can be accepted as proof of payment prior to delivery.
What suburbs do you service?
We provide our skip bin hire service to most suburbs south of the river. Please see our Suburbs
page for a comprehensive list of the suburbs we service. We will also service some northern and riverside suburbs, where possible. Please phone our office to confirm availability.
What can I put in the bin?
Please see the Bin Sizes and Prices
page for details on what types of waste can go in each type of bin.
What can’t I put in the bins?
No bin is to contain any asbestos (except asbestos bins), car tyres, car batteries (car batteries can be placed next to the bin and we will take them away for you), liquid waste such as petrol, oil, chemicals, or any sort of hazardous material. Further details can be found on the Bin Sizes and Prices
page.
Can you tell me what time our bin will be delivered?
It is difficult for us to provide an exact delivery time. Delivery depends on a number of factors, including how many other deliveries we have on the day and when we will be in your area. If you need a skip bin for an early morning start, it is best to have the bin delivered the day before use.
