It’s a load of rubbish!
Yup, that’s what we have here, a load of rubbish that needs to be cleaned up, contained, and disposed of. If it’s a lot of rubbish in one go, then hiring skip bins sydney to come and take all that accumulated rubbish away can be a great way to solve the situation. But for common everyday rubbish then there is no better way to do this than by using rubbish bins. However, not every bin is good, just like with any object that has a purpose, it must have some basic features and standards to conform to.
This guide will review four rubbish bin types; outdoor container bins, rubbish bin accessories, indoor trash can and outdoor decorative bin.
The main review will be about outdoor rubbish bins with wheels, and before we begin, here is a quick look at the features required to choose the best outdoor rubbish bin.
- Size: How much rubbish do you want to collect in one area?
- Strength: How sturdy is the design and materials used for containing and handling the bin?
- Mobility: How easy is it to fill, move and handle by public or private rubbish collectors?
With these three features, let’s take a look at what would be the best choice for you.
Note: For bio-hazard and other dangerous waste products, you will need to buy a special bin designed and fabricated with materials specifically for those waste products.

Waste Containers 101
As with any product, there are good and bad versions. Waste bins might be overlooked by most consumers, but when you are involved in the waste cleaning and reclamation business, the container is the key to your success.
A good container has to provide a number of features and functions, the first being the ability to contain garbage in a safe and hazard free containment zone. Now you might think that’s an easy thing to do, but material science has proven that when hundreds of different garbage types get chucked into a container and mix up, they can react and become corrosive to many materials.
That is why the material in the bin is made of must suit the waste content being added.
Another key factor is a weight-bearing strength. As you fill a large bin, it becomes harder to move. If the bin design and material are not suitable for handling heavy loads, the bin will bend crack and break. Or, you might not be able to move it due to design deficiencies. Therefore, you might want to visit site, and see if the bin design you choose is similar to the skips, available there. If so, then you might be good to go!
The body must be made of a specific load-bearing material in a load-bearing design and must be placed over a maneuverable system of wheels that can support the weight. This means to support the weight for years; you don’t want a bin whose wheels lock up or fall off after a week or a month.
The next thing to look out for is total containment. Do you need to cover the bin, yes you do? It’s not enough you have a lid, you need a solid lid that is heavy enough to resist wind and withstand scavenger tampering. That leads you to need good hinges as well as a bend-free lid with possible locking mechanisms in place.
Apart from these main features, you need curbside collection bars to enable the garbage disposal trucks locking mechanism to hold it and lift it for quick removal. This means that the locking bar has to be an integral part of the bin body and be able to withstand thousands of uses.
The overall mechanism, wheels, and lids must be made of durable and reliable materials that are able to withstand years of frequent usage, especially since most homeowners don’t maintain the wheels or lid hinges.
There are four bin types that you will need in a residential setting: These are small wastepaper baskets, larger office, and kitchen bins, recycling bins, and finally outdoor collection bins. Recycling bins have to be color-coded, so in most cases, the body will be made of a colored resin that is either green, yellow or blue. Non-recycling bins are usually black or grey.
While these options might be good for residential areas, there may be times when you’ll have to hire a skip similar to North Shore Rubbish Removal. It may be preferable to have your garbage collected on a regular basis, regardless of its size, particularly if you live in a residential area. Their assistance could include loading, cleaning up, and taking away rubbish that’s on your premises. Then there are a few companies like Inside Outside Rubbish Removal, which also provide waste removal services and are also committed to recycling waste. Hence, if you are searching for rubbish removal st kilda or nearby places, you could get in touch with them.
Conclusions
If you want a quiet and smell-free life outdoors, invest in a solid bin made with EN 804 standards. Buy a brand model and make sure it matches the type of content you throw away. If you are a commercial site, I suggest you consult with a health and safety specialist that will counsel you on what brand and model to buy.
