Specialist Skip Hire
Skip hire is the service of hiring a large container, known as a skip, to dispose of waste materials.
Skips are available in a range of sizes, from mini skips that hold 2-3 cubic yards of waste to large industrial skips that can hold up to 40 cubic yards.
Skips can be used to dispose of a range of waste materials, including household waste, garden waste, construction waste, and bulky items like furniture and appliances. However, hazardous waste materials like asbestos, electrical equipment, and batteries cannot be put in a skip.
The length of time you can hire a skip for will depend on the hire company, but most offer hire periods ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks.
The cost of skip hire will vary depending on the size of the skip, the length of the hire period, and your location. It’s best to get quotes from multiple hire companies to find the best price.
If you plan to place the skip on a public road or pavement, you will likely need a permit from your local council. Some skip hire companies can arrange the permit for you, while others will require you to obtain it yourself.
Skips should be loaded evenly and not overloaded. Larger items should be placed at the bottom of the skip to ensure they don’t topple over when the skip is lifted.
The waste in the skip is taken to a recycling or waste management facility where it is sorted, processed, and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
Yes, skips are commonly hired for commercial use, such as for construction projects, office renovations, and shop clearouts.
If you exceed the weight limit of the skip, you may be charged an additional fee. In extreme cases, the hire company may refuse to collect the skip until the excess weight has been removed.
