What are the Benefits of Hiring a Skip?
Environmentally Friendly
Unfortunately, waste isn’t always disposed of properly and when certain materials are burnt they can emit toxic smoke which can harm the environment significantly.
Fortunately, when you hire a skip and have it collected by professionals, you can rest assured knowing that all of your waste will be emptied and sorted to ensure it is recycled or disposed of properly.
Convenient
Instead of making multiple trips to the tip, which can cost you both time and money, skip hire offers a much more convenient way to dispose of your waste.
All you have to do is fill it up and we’ll take care of the rest, ensuring all of your waste is sorted and properly recycled or disposed of.
Versatile
When hiring a skip, you can choose exactly which size you need. This makes them incredibly versatile, allowing you to dispose of bulky items that you may otherwise be unable to take to the tip yourself.
You can also choose whether to have the skip placed on your own private land, such as your garden or driveway, or on council land, such as on the side of the road or in a courtyard, allowing you to dispose of your waste as simply as possible. (Please note that any skips placed on council land will require a skip permit)
Cheap
Many alternative methods of waste disposal require you to transport materials to a landfill or tip and you may have to make several trips if you are attempting to dispose of a large amount of waste, costing time and money for fuel.
Additionally, if you have lots of bulky items that you need to get rid of, you may also need to hire large vehicles to transport them which can also increase the cost. Not to mention, if you don’t adhere to all of the waste management rules and regulations when sorting your waste, you could face a hefty fine.
Fortunately, by hiring a skip you can avoid all of these costs by paying one cheap fixed price for your skip to be delivered, collected and your waste disposed of properly.
How Much Does Skip Hire Cost?
The cost to hire a skip depends on a number of factors, such as the size of skip you require, the skip hire duration, your location and whether or not you need a skip permit from the council.
