Underground Automated Waste Collection Plan

20120510-172756.jpg

The City of Sydney is planning to install an underground garbage collection system by 2030 to make living more sustainable.

The plan is to use underground pipes and vaccum tubes to take the rubbish directly to landfill sites instead of rubbish trucks collecting it from a wheelie bin.

The plan that’s said to limit greenhouse gas emission is already in use in countries in Europe and Asia including Barcelona and South Korea.

However, although this plan will collect and remove small general rubbish, there will be still need for Trailer Trash skips that remove larger general waste items.

For an affordable Trailer Trash Skip Bins that are manoeuvrable on a trailer and have a lockable lid, for all your general rubbish removal needs call 1300 887 274 today!

Save on Skip Permits

Skip Bin in Boat Shed

When hiring most skips you need to apply to the Council for a permit which can cost up to $90 in Sydney and other major Australian cities. Getting a permit application processed also takes time which you may not have, especially if you need your rubbish removed as soon as possible.

Luckily, Trailer Trash found a solution. Our skip bins are road-registered and therefore can be parked anywhere a car can be parked. This means that there’s no need for a permit to use and park our skips. This saves both money and time as we can deliver a skip bin to you as soon as we can, sometimes on the same day.

Our skip bins are also on trailers meaning that they are very mobile and can be put in difficult to access locations including narrow driveways, laneways and underground carparks.

How to get your rubbish removed?

Have you been wondering how you should get your rubbish removed?

Hiring a Trailer Trash Skip Bin is a easy, cost-effective and mobile solution to getting your rubbish removed from your Sydney home or business.

Advantages of hiring a Trailer Trash Skip Bin

Getting your rubbish removed by Trailer Trash Skips is easy.

There are many reasons why hiring one of our skips has a lot of benefits over other companies, here are just 5.

1. Trailer Trash skips are portable and manoeuvrable

Our skip bins come on trailers which means that they are more portable than other skips. They can be delivered to locations which can normally be difficult to access as well as being able to be moved around the location. This means that the skip can be moved to be close to your rubbish rather than you having to take the rubbish to the skip.

2. Our skip bins are less environmentally damaging compared to others

Due to being on trailers rather than being delivered by a truck, we can tow them by 4WDs and Utes. These use less petrol and therefore we save money at the same time as being less damaging to the environment, meaning that we can charge you less to hire one of our skips.

3. Our skips have lockable lids

There’s nothing worse than hiring a skip only to find the rubbish you’ve put in it has been blown out or it’s been filled up by other people without permission. Our skips have lockable lids which prevents the rubbish from being blown out and all over Sydney as well as preventing your neighbours from filling it or accessing anything that you’ve put in your skip.

4. Our unique system saves you money

Trailer Trash’s unique system allows us to store waste more efficiently, which means that we can charge you less for our skips to be hired.

5. Our skip bins don’t require permits

Due to being mounted on trailers, Trailer Trash bins don’t require permits that are usually required from the council when hiring other skips. As long as the skip is kept within the same parking regulations as cars, this can save you up to $100 in major cities. This also saves you from wasting your time contacting the council and applying for the permit.

How To Deal With Sydney’s Traffic Congestion?

Sydney's Traffic Congestion

Trailer Trash‘s Franchisees always try to deliver skips to your Sydney home or business on time as we understand what it’s like to have a tight schedule.

That being said, Sydney’s traffic keeps on getting more and more congested with a survey of 600 NRMA BusinessWise Members finding that 50% of businesses changing how their company operates in order to get their deliveries to their destinations on time.

But with a rising population and more and more cars on the road, it doesn’t look like the traffic congestion isn’t going to be relieved anytime soon. In a report by the City of Cities by 2020, the costs of traffic congestion in Sydney could rise to $24 billion compared to the $5 billion cost in 1995.

So the National Roads and Motorists Association has come up with a list of 10 ways that the traffic congestion can be improved. They are as follows:

1. Renewed focus on managing traffic

2. Manage the motorways

3. Optimise the operation of the traffic light network

4. Quick clearance of traffic incidents

5. Give motorists reliable and up to date information

6. Promote flexible working hours and practices

7. Improve the transit lanes

8. Remove inaccurate traffic signs and declutter

9. Review parking restrictions

10. Adopt meaningful performance measures

The Trailer Trash team hopes these are made possible so that we can continue to deliver our Affordable Skips to your Sydney home or business on time. Our skips however, already make this more possible by having our skips mounted on trailers, meaning that they aren’t towed by trucks. This means that we can park our Trailer Trash Skip Bins in ordinary parking spots and drive through side and narrow streets saving both you and us time and money.

The Stash And The Trash

Trailer Trash Skip Bins took a look at the waste industry that hadn’t evolved much in the last half century and wondered if things couldn’t be done a bit differently. When bulk waste receptacles first hit the market in the 1950s they were big square metal boxes, and by the turn of the millenium they were…big square metal boxes.

The delivery system hadn’t changed, and nor had the boxes, so we took a new look at it and came up with Trailer Trash Skip Bins. See our Sydney Skip Bin Videos to see how they work.

With the success of Trailer Trash Skip Bins we took a look at another industry – self storage. It hadn’t changed much in the last couple of decades and we found some improvements. The result: Trailer Stash Mobile Self Storage.

Trailer Stash Mobile Self Storage and a pile or rubbish

When people are moving house, they need to remove both what they want to keep, and what they don't. We can help with both!

So if you are moving house and need to move the stuff you do want, and the stuff you don’t then call Trailer Trash for your rubbish removal, and Trailer Stash for your self storage.

Our job is to make your house move easier and cheaper!

Do You Need A Skip Bin With Lockable Lids? Perhaps.

At Trailer Trash our skip bins have lockable lids. Originally, these were installed on our skip bins to make sure waste didn’t blow out of them, and to insure that waste was kept contained inside during transporting and emptying.

But something else became abundantly clear as our Sydney skip bins hit the market. One of the most attractive features of our skip bins was that the lids were lockable and therefore when they were parked in streets could be locked up when unattended, therefore stopping people dumping into them without permission.

Time to get a skip bin!

We were travelling around the country last week, and came across a scene we thought had a some irony attached to it:

Dumping is not allowed!

Signs don't seem to work. Rubbish begets rubbish!

A number of studies have been done into litter and dumped rubbish, and in areas where there is rubbish there is more crime, vandalism, and graffiti. And also, once rubbish starts, it seems to attract more rubbish.
A Trailer Trash skip bin can help solve these problems. Keep your neighbourhood and local area clean, and it will stay cleaner. It sounds logical doesn’t it, but so often (see above!) gets forgotten. No one really wants a nature strip like the one above – it really makes mowing difficult!
Have a look at our Sydney skip hire videos and see how easy rubbish removal is with a Trailer Trash skip bin. Or call us on 1300 887 274.

Ten Facts About Litter

Littering costs the community vasts amount of resources, in both time, money, and environmental impact – without even starting to talk about how bad it looks.

Trailer Trash Skip Hire Sydney seeks to make rubbish disposal in all its forms happen in a responsible and ecological manner. Much better to put your junk in a skip bin rather than dump it, and better to put your rubbish in a rubbish bin, and not on the ground. Avoiding littering is easy to do, and only takes a little thought.

Here are ten things you may not know about litter:

1. There are no fixed boundaries in terms of who litters, with some studies suggesting that over half of all respondents admit to it. But people who litter can be found among people of every age, sex, race and geographic location, and in every level of society.
