Frequently Asked Questions

  • What size of skip bin do I need for scrap metal?

    The bin size you need depends on the volume and weight of your scrap metal. A 2m³ to 4m³ skip bin is usually enough for smaller jobs like garage clean-outs. Larger jobs, such as demolition or factory cleanups, often require roll-on roll-off bins between 10m³ and 15m³.

  • Can I put mixed materials in a scrap metal skip bin?

    Generally, no. Scrap metal bins should be filled with metal-only waste to ensure proper recycling and fair pricing. Mixing metals with rubbish, timber, or other materials can lead to contamination, reduced scrap value, or even the load being rejected. It’s always best to separate materials beforehand and use different bins for different types of waste. 

  • How long can I keep a skip bin on-site?

    Most skip bin hires run for 3 to 7 days by default, but many providers are flexible. Extended hire periods can usually be arranged if you're managing an ongoing project or need time to collect scrap. Many services offer early pickups or bin swaps if you fill up faster than expected.
