This is why reason that you’ll often see these at large construction sites, and these bins can get MASSIVE.
Downsides of marrel skip bins
However, there are a lot of downsides to marrel skip bins, which is why you should be careful when hiring them:
- They are generally delivered on trucks. This means they can be hard to get into tricky places like narrow lanes, garages and underground carparks.
- They don’t have lids. Therefore, you may need to hire the local vigilantes to stand guard at night and stop your neighbours filling them with their own waste.
- Because it’s not a vehicle, many councils require that you pay for a special permit if you want to place a marrel bin on the street.
- If placed on your driveway or grass, they can cause a lot of damage with their metal feet.
