When it comes to managing scrap metal, having the right bin for your project makes all the difference. Whether you’re tackling a one-off clean-up at home or managing regular industrial waste, Action Metal Recyclers has a scrap bin to suit your needs. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the best scrap metal bin for your project.
Understand Your Scrap Volume
The first step is knowing how much scrap metal you’re dealing with. For smaller, domestic projects or clean-ups with limited space, a Skip Bin (Marrel Bin) might be the perfect fit. These bins can hold up to 6 tonnes or 12m³ of scrap, making them ideal for steel off-cuts, punchings, and swarf. Plus, they’re easy to place on sites where space is tight.
If you’re handling larger volumes, like demolition scrap, beams, a Hook Bin might be more your speed. Hook bins can carry up to 10 tonnes or 30m³, making them a smart choice for construction sites, manufacturing businesses, or large-scale clean-ups.
Match the Bin Type to Your Site
Space plays a huge role in selecting the right bin. Skip bins are compact and lifted on and off by chains, meaning they can fit into tighter spaces. Hook bins, on the other hand, are larger and require more room for roll-on/roll-off access.
If you’ve got limited access points or are working in a busy area, a smaller skip bin might be the better call. If you’ve got the room to spare and a high volume of scrap, the hook bin’s walk-in doors and large open top make loading a breeze.
Pick the Right Size Bin
At Action Metal Recyclers, we offer a range of bin sizes to match every project:
- N-Bin: Perfect for non-ferrous metals, holding up to 3 tonnes. Great for small commercial jobs or home clean-ups.
- M-Bin: Holds up to 6 tonnes. A great all-rounder for medium-sized jobs.
- H-Bin: Also up to 6 tonnes, with slightly different dimensions to suit your loading needs.
- D-Bin: The heavy hitter, carrying up to 10 tonnes, suited for big commercial and industrial projects.
