If you are not present at delivery, we endeavour to place the bin in accordance with your delivery instructions, and where there is no instruction, at the appropriate site we consider safe at the Delivery Address. We are not responsible for any claim or liability incurred by you due to our selection of the Placement Site.

Will the bin damage my concrete driveway?
The skip bin when being loaded or unloaded may scratch or chip painted and stencil concrete, pavers and other decorative prints.

Will the bin damage my grass and underground watering system?
Our trucks are heavy and if required to drive across your grass may damage it or your in-ground watering system. If you have any concerns about the placement of the bins please let us know when placing your order and we can work with you to prevent any damage.
