A machine operator is filling my bin – What do I need to know?

You are responsible for the hire of the bin. Make sure the machines operator DOES NOT: 1) Move the bin 2) Overfill the bin 3) Try to hide material in the bin that is excluded from our hire conditions. Machines operators quite often do things they would not do with their own trucks. Machine operators almost always fill the bin with greens first or try to hide material they know cannot be disposed of in a skip bin. Please advise them of your legal and contractual obligations. Machine operators tip at the same landfill facility we do and know the law – but most will try to bluff you with “she’ll be right” or “we do this all the time”. As the hirer of the skip bin you are the one responsible for any additional fees incurred. Please make sure your machine operator is aware of your skip bin hire conditions.
