You must make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Mighty Bin/s whenever it/they are delivered.

4. USE OF MIGHTY BIN
Mighty Bin has been designed and manufactured as a single use bin for the removal and disposal of certain types of non-hazardous, non-toxic household, garden, building, construction and industrial waste (“Waste”) and is sold by the Company and/or by the Stockists to You on that basis. You are responsible for properly positioning, using, and loading the Mighty Bin with Waste in accordance with the instructions on the Mighty Bin packaging, on the Mighty Bin itself and as set forth on the Company’s Website from time to time. You are also responsible for all Waste placed in the Mighty Bin, including hazardous and toxic waste. You may only fill the Mighty Bin with those items permitted by these Terms, any instructions provided by the Company and as allowed by the Environmental Protection (Controlled Waste) Regulations 2004 (the “Regulations”). If You do not comply with these requirements then the Company reserves the right to reject the Mighty Bin and to refuse to pick it up. Except as expressly set out in these Terms, the Company has no obligation, express or implied, to provide additional services or products to You, including but not limited to loading, collecting or disposing of the Mighty Bin.
5. WASTE REMOVAL/ DISPOSAL SERVICES - WEIGHT LIMITS
The Company reserves the right to use subcontractor’s to provide the Services. The Company is not licensed to, and does not provide a service to, remove Controlled Waste as defined by the Regulations (“Controlled Waste”). Therefore, You must not place any such hazardous or Controlled Waste, including but not limited to tyres, asbestos or liquids, in the Mighty Bin. You will indemnify the Company for any costs, expenses or losses incurred should You not comply with this requirement.
The Mighty Bin pickup fee includes the following weight allowances for each different size Mighty Bin: 200kgs for 1 m³; 350kgs for 2 m³ and 500kgs for 3m³. You can place additional waste in Your Mighty Bin up to a maximum weight of 1.5 tonnes (limited for safety and legal reasons) but you will be charged at the current tip rates for every 100kgs you are over the allowable weight for Your size Mighty Bin.
As a guide, to stay within these limits and to avoid extra fees, You should not fill the 2m³ Mighty Bin more than half full and the 3m³ more than a third full with heavy waste like sand, bricks and concrete. Light rubbish can be placed on top of the heavy fill, eg garden clippings, household waste.
If you exceed these weight limits and overfill your Mighty Bin so that it weighs more than the safety limit of 1.5 tonnes then the Company may, in its absolute discretion, refuse to pick the Mighty Bin up and the Company shall have no responsibility to You for not removing the Mighty Bin. If the driver is dispatched to pick up the Mighty Bin and it is not removed because it is overweight You will still be charged for the pickup.
You must not overfill the Mighty Bin so that the lifting loops cannot be accessed thereby preventing the Mighty Bin from being lifted on to the Company’s vehicle. If You overfill or overload the Mighty Bin it may require sorting and/or unloading to ensure that it complies with these Terms and any transport requirements. Such sorting and/or unloading will be at the sole discretion of the Company’s driver and You will be responsible for any additional charges which may be incurred as a result. Mighty Bin has been designed to be picked up and disposed of by the Company’s hiab vehicles. If You use any other company, organisation or person to pick up or dispose of your Mighty Bin then the Company will have no responsibility for your Mighty Bin or its contents and You will indemnify the Company for any damages or losses resulting from such pickup and disposal in accordance with Clause 10.
6. ACCESS FOR REMOVAL
You are responsible for providing free and suitable access for the Company’s employees, contractors or agents and their vehicles to and from Your premises for the pickup of the Mighty Bin and for ensuring suitable ground conditions for its removal. No responsibility is accepted for damage to the surface of any area at the premises which the Company’s contractors, employees or agents are required to pass over to gain access to the Mighty Bin or to any pipes, cables or other fixtures beneath such access ways. If the Company’s employees, contractors or agents are unable to obtain access to the Mighty Bin on the day of pickup, or if the Mighty Bin is otherwise not available at the premises on that day, then, unless the Company expressly agrees otherwise, no refund will be made to You and any later collection and disposal of the Mighty Bin will require a new collection service to be ordered and paid for by You.
You must ensure that the filled Mighty Bin is easily accessible for removal. An additional charge may be incurred when clear and/or safe access is not available to the Company’s driver when removing the Mighty Bin and the Company’s driver is required to wait while the access problem is rectified. You indemnify the Company for any damage to property caused during the removal of the Mighty Bin when You have not made clear access available for such removal. You also indemnify the Company from any damage caused to the tyres of any Company vehicle should You or your representative instruct the Company’s driver to drive over objects to remove the Mighty Bin that may reasonably be considered to have contributed to such damage.
