When you first look into the hiring cost of a trailer, it might seem as if it is the cheaper option, especially if you already have access to one. However, it is important to factor in the hidden costs, such as:
- Fuel for multiple trips to the dump: estimated $30-$50 (depending on distance and the number of trips).
- Potential trailer hire fees: estimated at $70-$100 per day.
- Waste removal fees at the dump: $120+ per load (depending on your waste types and volume).
- Your time: Can be multiple hours across several days.
When you hire a skip bin, it is a one-time cost, so you know exactly what you’re paying for upfront. Once your rubbish has been collected, our team will take your waste to a sorting facility, so your rubbish can be responsibly recycled.
In most cases, hiring a skip bin is more time-convenient, and often works out to be cheaper in the long run. At Just Skips, we offer three conveniently sized skip bins that are perfect for any-sized project.
