- Large estate clear-out
Not ideal for
- Small household jobs: try 2 to 4m³

Load it right, fit more in
A well-packed 8m³ holds noticeably more than one filled at random.
Level with the rim
Nothing above the top edge. The truck can't lift an overfilled bin safely.
Heavy and flat first
Rubble, boards and panels on the bottom, lighter waste on top.
Break it down
Flatten boxes, dismantle furniture and cut branches to fill the gaps.
Metal and appliances on top
They're pulled out for recycling, so keep them easy to reach.
Where we can put it
Tell us the spot when you book. If the truck can reach it, we can usually place it there.
Driveway
Most common. Fits almost any driveway.
Front yard
On firm, level ground near the work.
Back yard
Where the truck has side access.
A clear, firm and level spot to fit the bin
Clear of overhead wires and branches to 4.5 m
Truck access about 3 m wide
Load waste level with the top, not above the rim
