Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is vSkip Bins ?
vSkip Bins is designed to reduce the number of items being sent to landfill. The idea is simple - Instead of hiring a real skip bin for your unwanted items you create a virtual skip bin or "vSkip Bin" and upload your items for other people to search and claim. Recirculating in this way helps to reduce unnecesary landfill and has a positive effect on global warming.
