Do not overfill the Bin

It is illegal to transport a container with its mesh almost bursting. Gladstone Blue Bins need to cover the bin with a mesh before transporting it away from your location, so it will be better for your wastes to not overflow.
Pack the Skip Bin Properly
A skip bin can handle large volumes of waste but that can depend on how you stack and pack the rubbish inside the bin. If you just randomly throw stuff inside the bin without properly stacking them into order, then it will leave you with a lot of unused space. Maximise the volume of each skip in by putting everything deliberately, carefully and in a detailed manner. Start with the big ones and on top of it all are the small ones.
