TWIN CITY SKIP BINS

The Contents of the skip hired from Twin City Skip Bins remains the property of the client until such time as the client pays Twin City Skip Bins the full hire charge. If after a reasonable time the hirer has not paid Twin City Skip Bins the full hire charge, then the client agrees that Twin City Skip Bins may empty the skip at the client's site, office or place of residence without further notice.
 

It is a basic condition of hire that no asbestos based materials or other hazardous material will be placed in a skip bin provided to a hirer by Twin City Skip Bins. 
 

If at the time of collection of a skip from the client's site or, when a skip is tipped at landfill having been returned from the client's site and the bin is found to contain any asbestos based materials or any other hazardous materials, then Twin City Skip Bins will charge the hirer for any and all costs of disposing of the contaminated contents of the skip and for any remedial services Twin City Skip Bins has to undertake which are attributable to having a skip returned by a hirer which contains asbestos based materials or other hazardous material.
