Skip Hire Questions

---

Skip hire can be complicated even if we intend it to be simple. Do I need a permit? What can I put in skips? Please read below for answers to some commonly asked questions.

Is there anything cheaper than skip hire?

Very possibly, please give us a call. Skips are not always your best choice for rubbish disposal. We can offer Man-with-Van rubbish collection- send a picture, we will quote for taking away. We have Cage vans for self-loading rubbish removal, or wait-and-load skips and containers, or mini skips too that do not involve the same costs as larger lorries. So we can offer various options if you speak with us direct.

What is the lowest price for skip hire?

Skip Hire prices are lowest when tailored to you. Area, skip size, permit, waste type, payment method, vehicle access, regular trade, length of time required, are all examples of why it will be cheaper to telephone us for skiphire quotes and not just pay online. Some skip hire providers may advertise low, accept your money, then add costs once you are committed. We are genuine and will simply help without any pressure or hidden costs.

Is Skip Hire cheaper if I'm a Builder or Rubbish Clearance operator?

Local Traders are valuable to us, but equally so are individual Domestic users. We need all waste types to continue our recycling. Of course, if you are a regular user of waste skips you should discuss this with us, since we really are a leading local supplier of Trade Skip Hire for good reason.

Are there cheaper ways for Trade Waste disposal?

Choosing skip hire is often for convenience of removing large amounts of waste. If you deliver waste to one of our three recycling stations we offer weigh-bridge systems at the gate, so you can pay per ton for disposal. This saves the cost of skip hire and many local waste removal & skip companies use this service with us.

How can we know you are trusted to not fly-tip our Skip waste?

We are well established as an authorised Waste Carrier and are fully licenced for waste transfer, management & disposal, as well as being regulated by the Environment Agency. Local Borough Councils use our services and we work daily obtaining waste permits from Authorities. Our large fleet of Transport at various locations also have further licences and tests for operations. We are well known, with trading from our central site spanning more than 2 decades, which could not continue if standards were abused or criminal.

What happens to rubbish that's put into skips?

Not every Skip provider will recycle. However, our collected waste is processed through various stages and we have a large amount of machinery for recycling as much as possible. Our aim is always to send less to Landfill because of very high Government fees as well as the obvious fact that it's not good for this planet. You may discover that successful Skip companies are those recycling and those struggling are the ones still sending to Landfill. Our investment in recycling machinery has paid off as we continue to expand, even if our skip prices are beaten short-term, we are here to stay while others are closing down. Recycling your waste is the only way forward.

How can I pay for my Skip Hire?

You can make payment over the phone by Credit or Debit card, or by paying cash on delivery. Accounts are provided for Trade and Commercial users and we can accept direct Bank Transfers by discussing this with us first.

What size of Skip do I need?

Skip physical sizes are shown but waste can sometimes be difficult to estimate. If rubbish sacks or family car or small van does not suit, you are likely considering skip hire. In this instance, it is highly possible the small sizes of 2 or 4 Yard Skips will not suit either, they are only suited if you are fully aware of your needs. Skips of 7 or 8 yards, are the general medium sizes and many users will go for the standard Builder 8 Yard Skip for most waste removal projects. Larger sizes such as 10 or 12 Yard would be more suitable for commercial project waste or bigger home improvement projects. We also have 14 or 16 Yard sizes that are popular for development sites and large or ongoing home conversions.

Do I need a Permit?

Skip Hire Permits are needed in many areas if you cannot position the skip on your driveway or private land. Price for permits and length of time for issue can vary. There can be many conditions which we are responsible for making you aware of and these may be different with each Local Authority. If you need a Skip placed on the Public Highway you will need to discuss this with us before ordering.

How full can I fill the Skip?

To be safe for collection and transport, the skip must be filled flat and level with the skip sides (or lower). We request that all heavy items should be spread evenly if possible, so that all the bulk of weight is not focussed to one side, end or corner.

Are there any materials that aren’t allowed into skips?

These following items are considered hazardous waste:
• asbestos     • paint     • tyres     • gas bottles
• fridges / freezers     • fluorescent tubes     • plasterboard     • vehicle batteries
....also Bed Mattresses !
If you are disposing of any of the above, please give us a call so we can help you to find an alternative solution for waste disposal. This list is not exhaustive, you are responsible for ensuring nobody is at risk from your disposed rubbish, so if in doubt you should call and check with us.

When is my skip collected?

You can call or email anytime to let us know you are ready. If your skip hire period is coming to an end we will try calling you to see how everything is going and will discuss a convenience of collection.

Do you price-match if I have a cheaper quote?

Sometimes cheapest is not best suited and we advise caution. Saving 10 or 20 pounds might initially seem great but the reality is there will often be problems. Undisclosed tax suddenly added, costs for collection, unfair fines, there are many ways you can lose out with some alternative Skip Hire companies. We are genuine so it may not be possible to beat someone heading into liquidation. All we ask is that you give us a call and if we can't help then maybe remember us for your Skip Hire in future?

Who is the nearest skip provider, near me?

Supporting local business is something we agree with. We have many local bases. Other local skip providers such as; GBN, Courtlands, Froom, Advanced Demolition, David Brown, Dunmows, APS, ADL, Uskip, or others, may have a base near you. However, your waste is recycled so will be transported away, no matter if it is us or a rival. Therefore, you should not limit your choice based on distance to your home.

Where can I get the cheapest quote for skip hire? Why are skip hire prices not shown? Are skip hire prices per week? Is there a price list for Skip Hire near me? Who is cheapest for skip hire? What is the price for skip hire? How much does a cheap skip cost? Skip Hire price includes permit?

The most common questions are about Skip prices but there are so many variables. To help, small skips will be 180 to 230, average sized often around 250 to 300 while large cost 350 to 400 and then you get extra large too at 450 or above. Road permits do cost and these can be 20 to 80 depending on Local Authority charges. Cheapest isn't always best so we aim to provide good service with lowest costs. With all sizes available for all areas we will have a Skip to suit your budget.
