Hiring a skip can be a cost-effective and convenient waste disposal solution. Here are some essential tips to consider before hiring a skip:
- Determine the right skip size for your needs.
- Check if a permit is required from your local council.
- Verify that the skip hire company is licensed and insured (which we are).
- Identify the type of waste you’ll be disposing of; separate disposal may be needed for garden waste, general waste, and building materials. Note that we do not accept hazardous waste.
- Ensure the skip is placed on a flat and stable surface.
- Fill the skip safely and avoid overfilling.
- Arrange for the scheduled collection of the skip on the agreed-upon date.
When hiring a skip, it’s crucial to consider the following tips for a smooth experience. First, ensure you have the appropriate skip size for your needs. If you need more clarification, feel free to seek advice from the skip hire company. Additionally, make sure the skip is placed on a flat and stable surface.
To optimise space utilisation, place larger items at the bottom of the skip and fill it up with smaller items towards the top. It’s important not to overfill the skip, as this can make it unstable and unsafe for transportation. Avoid placing hazardous or flammable items in the skip, and if necessary, separate different types of waste into separate skips. Lastly, if disposing of heavy items like bricks or concrete, ensure they are within the weight limits specified by the skip hire company. By following these guidelines, you can make the most of your skip-hire and ensure safe waste disposal.
By following these guidelines, you can confidently hire a skip and ensure that your waste is disposed of responsibly, promoting environmental preservation and safety.
