Skip Bin Hire for Renovations: Everything You Need to Know
Skip Bin Hire for Renovations: Everything You Need to Know
Planning a renovation? Whether you're updating your kitchen, revamping the bathroom, or giving the entire home a makeover, waste removal is one thing you don't want to overlook. Renovations generate more rubbish than most people expect from broken tiles and timber offcuts to old cabinetry and plasterboard.
Hiring a skip bin is one of the easiest, fastest, and most cost-effective ways to manage renovation waste. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your project on track and your site clean.
Why You Need a Skip Bin for Renovation Projects
Renovation waste builds up quickly. Without a plan in place, rubbish piles can become a safety hazard and delay your project timeline.
A skip bin gives you:
✅ On-site waste storage
✅ Faster clean-up
✅ Fewer trips to the tip
✅ Improved site safety
✅ Efficient recycling and disposal
With Flehan Skips, you can focus on your project while we handle the waste.
What Size Skip Bin Do You Need?
Choosing the right size depends on the scope of your renovation:
| Bin Size | Ideal For |
|---|---|
| 2m³ | Small bathroom reno, patch-ups |
| 4m³ | Kitchen or laundry upgrades |
| 6m³ | Multi-room renovations |
| 9m³ | Full home makeovers or commercial fit-outs |
If in doubt, go one size bigger - overfilling a bin can lead to extra charges or delays.
What Can You Put in a Renovation Skip?
You can dispose of most renovation waste in a general or mixed heavy bin, including:
Timber
Tiles
Bricks & concrete
Plasterboard
Metal
Old fixtures (e.g. toilets, sinks)
Cabinets & flooring
Note: Asbestos and hazardous materials must not be placed in skip bins. Contact us if you're unsure.
Mixed Heavy Skip Bins - Greater Weight Limit
Renovating with heavy materials like concrete, bricks or tiles? Flehan Skips offers mixed heavy skip bins with no weight limit. That means no surprises or extra charges — just simple, stress-free disposal.
Do I Need a Permit?
If you plan to place a skip bin on council property (e.g. a verge or footpath), you may need a permit. Flehan Skips can advise you or assist with the application process to avoid delays.
