The garage is where things go to be forgotten. Tools you bought for one job, boxes from the last move, kids bikes they outgrew three years ago, and that exercise equipment that was going to change everything. When you finally decide to clear it out, a skip bin makes the job straightforward.
How Much Waste Does a Garage Cleanout Produce?
A single car garage with moderate accumulation typically fills a 2m3 to 3m3 bin. A double garage that has been used as storage for years can fill a 4m3 bin. If the garage also has shelving, workbenches, and larger items like old appliances or furniture, go with a 4m3 to be safe.
Tips for an Efficient Cleanout
Pull everything out of the garage first. Put it on the driveway or lawn where you can see it all. Sort into three piles: keep, donate, and bin. Once you have sorted, load the bin pile straight in. This stops you from second guessing decisions and putting things back.
What About Hazardous Items?
Garages often contain items that cannot go in a skip bin. Old paint tins with liquid paint, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, gas bottles, and car batteries all need separate disposal. Set these aside and take them to a council hazardous waste collection point.
