When your FLEXiSKiP® is about half-full, lift all sides and position it within four meters of the kerb. Be sure to check for any obstructions like power lines, driveways, pathways, or parked cars.

Items left outside of the FLEXiSKiP on the kerb will not be collected. Such items may be regarded as illegally dumped rubbish on public land, subject to local laws and regulations.
