Important things to Know

Skip bin hire working is an effective and easy way to dispose of waste, but there are a few things you need to know.

• Sizes

There are a few different skip sizes that you can choose from. Consider the amount of rubbish you will be disposing and pick a size accordingly. If it is too small, you may end up overfilling it and having to pay extra. The skip hire companies will be able to help you with the right size.

• Types

There are different types of skips for different types of rubbish. You need to check the specifics on what can be disposed in each type of skip as there may be restrictions on hazardous materials and other items that cannot be put into them.

• Timing

There may be restrictions on how long your hired skip can stay on your property. Most companies have rules on how long they can stay unless arrangements have been made prior to delivery for them to remain longer than the standard period. If your job takes longer than anticipated, make sure that this has been approved before going over the limit.

• Permissions

You may need permission from your local council before having a skip delivered to your property so check before arranging for one to be dropped off.

How Should I Fill My Skip?

To make the most efficient use of your skip space, please keep in mind the following points:

• Cut up large items of wood in order to fit them more easily into the skip.
• Do not overfill your skip so that it cannot be safely closed or transported by our drivers.
• Avoid putting heavy objects such as bricks or concrete on top of light waste such as wood, cardboard or plastic – this will help prevent crushing and ensure that all waste can be loaded onto the lorry easily.
