DO I HIRE A MARRELL SKIP BIN OR HOOK BIN?

Our Hook bins are ideal for most jobs, as they provide easy access, as you can just open the back of the bin and put any rubbish straight in. There’s no need to try and lift it over a high side of a bin. However some Marrell skips also offer a walk in door.

If you have limited space or just a small amount of light weight rubbish then the Marrell skip bin may be the better option.
If you’re not quite sure what size bin you’re after, just give us a call and we’ll be happy to help you work out what size you need to Dispose of your waste.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MARRELL SKIP BIN AND A HOOK BIN?

For effective waste removal, we supply two types of Bulk bins: Marrell skips and Hook Bins. Marrell Skip bins range from 2-12 cubic meters. They are smaller at the bottom and larger at the top.
Our hook Bins start from 6 cubic metres and go all the way to 31 cubic metres. The distinguishing difference between the two is that the hook bin is a long rectangular shape with a door at the end.

Note a Marrell skip bin trucks is much smaller than a hook bin truck. If you have a steep or tight driveway you may be better off opting for the Marrell skip.
