Safety First - Do Not Overload Your Skip
When a bin is overloaded, the items can become projectiles on the road. Our drivers cannot take bins that are overloaded.
You should also take time to fill your bin evenly, with heavier items at the bottom and lighted waste on top. This reduces tip-over risk for the driver.
To avoid additional charges always keep your waste below the rails / fill mark.
