Skip bin weight limits explained (and how to avoid extra charges).
Every skip bin has a weight allowance. For a 4 mΒ³ general waste bin, it is usually 500- 800 kg.
The materials that catch people out:
- Concrete: ~2,400kg per cubic metre
- Bricks: ~1,800kg per cubic metre
- Soil: ~1,500kg per cubic metre
- Wet green waste: heavier than you think
Even half-filling a 4 mΒ³ bin with concrete can hit 4-5 tonnes.
Tip: Keep heavy materials separate. A dedicated concrete bin is priced for the weight. Mixing concrete into a general waste bin costs more.
