Skip Bins VS DIY Cleanup – Which Is Best
Thanks to the internet, there is just about nothing you cannot learn to do all on your own. Online tutorials on free sites like YouTube can help you become just about anything from a piano player to a construction worker. But just because you can do something doesn’t always mean you should, and doesn’t always make the task easier.
many of us love a good DIY. It is great fun to repaint walls, revive old furniture or to repurpose old homeware into something completely new and exciting. Driving large loads of smelly trash to the tip yourself, isn’t quite so great.
Site cleanup is one of those DIY-able tasks that you just don’t want to do yourself. Here is a quick run-down of the main differences between using a skip bin and cleaning your site all on your own.
