Carrying Out Building Work Around Your Home

Homeowners who carry out excavation work on their property may find that they need a special type of skip bin to dispose of soil waste. Most regular skips are not to be used for soil or other types of garden waste. If you're planning on doing any type of landscaping work on your property, be prepared to hire a skip bin that is specifically designed for this type of materials.

Excavation waste skip bins are specially designed to hold soil, rocks, clay and sand. As a result, they are built for durability, flexibility, and ease of use while in the garden.

Why you may need to excavate your yard

You may find yourself having a lot of soil on your hands when you carry out the following activities in the garden:

Fertilizing the soil

When preparing to plant and cultivate your garden, you may have to remove soil that is unproductive and rocks that will prevent the growth of plants. Naturally occurring rocks, clay soil, sandstone and other items are often a hindrance towards the healthy growth of plants in a garden. You may thus find yourself in need of disposing large amounts of these items.

Installing a fountain

If you wish to put in place a water fountain or other type of decorative structure in the yard, you will often have to dig up the soil in order to establish a foundation for the structure. This soil will need to be disposed of in a responsible manner.

Landscaping

In some cases, you may need to re-landscape your yard to ensure proper drainage during wet weather. This often requires digging up the soil and redistributing it across multiple areas. Any unused soil will also need to be disposed of.

 What can go in excavation skip bins

Through skip bin hire, you can obtain a skip that is specifically suited for excavation waste. These skips can be used to dispose of the following items:

• Soil (clay, sand, and dirt rocks)
• Sandstone and other naturally occurring rocks
• Other types of garden waste that consist of less than 10% vegetation

 What cannot go in

When you hire a skip bin for excavation waste, you cannot simply place any type of garden waste in there. These skips should only be used for soil, sand and rocks. The following items should not be disposed of in these skip bins:

• General household waste
• Chemicals
• Vegetation
• Contaminated soil
