Here at ABC Skip Bins customer satisfaction is our number one priority. We find that when people hire a skip bin from us, they may have questions about our service.
We have put together a list of questions that we get asked frequently. Giving you a better idea of what you can do with your skip bin hire on the Gold Coast.
If you still have any questions for us, please give us a call on 0408 905 014.
What sizes are the skip bins?
How are the bins measured?
All of our bins are measured in cubic metres. Cubic metres are used to measure volume, not just the length or width. Calculating cubic metres is simple if you have the formula.
Cubic Volume (m³) = Length(m) x Width(m) x Height(m)
The little ³ symbol shows that you are using 3 different measurements to get the volume. Don’t be concerned if your pile is 6m long x 1m wide x 0.5m high and you end up with a total cubic volume of 3m³. Although your pile is in fact 6m long, there is only 3m³ in this example.
How do I book a skip bin?
You can use our online quoting system which is located on the top right of every page on our website. If you fall into our service area, you’ll be able to choose the type of waste you need to load into the bin, and the size of the skip you want.
