Can soil and old fencing go in a green waste skip bin?
Do not assume they can. Describe soil, treated timber, fencing and other non-plant material separately and ask which container or collection arrangement the provider accepts.
A green waste skip bin is for a separated plant-material load that you can fill yourself. Describe the vegetation before booking; a garden project can also produce soil, timber and other waste that needs a different arrangement.
For a Timaru garden load, separate vegetation from soil and timber and show how the crew reaches any rear-section pile.
List branches, clippings, leaves and other vegetation, including any large pieces. Ask the provider about roots, stumps and plant types that may need separate handling.
Keep soil, rubble, fence timber, plastic pots, bags and household rubbish out unless the provider has explicitly agreed to them. A mixed outdoor load is not automatically priced or accepted as green waste.
Give the full delivery address, expected material quantity, proposed bin position and preferred hire dates. Include photos where access or the material is difficult to explain.
Ask what the price includes: delivery and collection, hire period, GST and the weight allowance. Confirm charges for extra time, unsuitable material or an overweight load before booking.
