Part 1: Ask Your Tradies for Recommendations
If you have trades such as plumbers, landscapers, or builders who are working on your home, inquire about the company they work with for the skip bins. The tradies work with skip firms all the time for their customers. They'll be able to tell who's trustworthy.
Some good questions to ask:
- Who do you trust for punctual drop off and pick up?
- Who's got quality bins that hold up well?
- Who provides good customer service if issues come up?
- Who's offered the fairest prices on bins and rubbish removal?
Part 2: Check Online Reviews From Locals
When you've made a shortlist of possible skips from your trade, go online to find out what other Adelaide residents have to say about these skips. Search for reviews on platforms like Google, Facebook and ProductReview.com.au.
Seek out patterns such as:
- Positive feedback consistently on price, service and professionalism.
- Special praise for things such as being punctual with a welcoming staff or providing upfront cost information
- A positive and positive response by the firm in response to any negative reviews
Part 3: Compare Prices and Offerings
So, you've identified some promising skip companies based on your trader and research online. The next step is to make a quick comparison of their rates, size, bin dimensions and rental times, as well as any additional charges and the types of waste they'll accept.
Create tables or charts so you're able to see who has the most price. Be aware of the details - some firms include fuel costs as well as weight limitations or weekend-related surcharges which can cause costs to go up.
You want to find a company that ticks every box: reasonable prices, the right size bin and an adjustable pickup timing. You'll likely be throwing away tons of trash therefore make sure you get the best price.
Part 4: Check Their Website and Socials
Head to the company websites and social media pages to get a feel for them. Look for:
- A local address and phone number, not just an email.
- Photos and videos that match the services they offer.
- A professional website with tidy, up-to-date info.
- Regular social media posting that gives a peek behind the scenes.
Part 5: Request Quotes and Ask Q's
Once you’ve narrowed down one or two top contenders, get on the blower. Explain your project and ask for an official quote. Make sure to ask:
- What size bin do you recommend for my needs?
- What is the cost breakdown - rental fee, pickup/drop-off, weight limits etc?
- How soon can you deliver the bin and how flexible is pickup?
- What safety gear like lighting and netting do you provide?
- What happens if I go over weight limits or need an extended rental?
