Green Waste
At Skip Bins Online, we offer skip bins for the disposal of garden waste, including light foliage, pruning, and more.
Our green waste skip bins, suitable for both residential and commercial garden clean-ups, come with a weight limit of 150kg per cubic meter. Often referred to as “garden organics” or “garden waste” bins, they’re designed specifically for the disposal of biodegradable green waste.
To help you dispose of your waste correctly, please only place approved green waste items in your hire skip. This includes grass clippings, small tree branches, bark, and other soft green materials.
For other materials like clay and dirt, we have specific skip bins designed for those waste types.
