Hiring A Skip : A Short Guide

Whether you are having an extension built onto your house, tearing down an old garden shed or just having a spring clear out, a skip is the ideal solution for the problem of too much waste and no way to transport your waste to the tip or landfill site.

Skips come in all shapes and sizes and it is possible that a skip hire company will charge you an extra fee for disposing of certain items. This is why it is important to know exactly what you are getting with your skip hire service so you are not stung with extra hidden fees later on.

Below are detailed guidelines that will help you in choosing a skip hire company that will meet all your requirements.

Initially, you must decide on how big a skip you need to meet your waste requirements. Working out your requirements without previous experience can be tricky, especially as you may want to add more waste in the future to take full advantage f your hire. Discuss with the hire company as to your requirements and they should be able to help you choose a suitable size.

Skips are extremely heavy and very difficult to move once the hire company has situated it. Therefore it is important that you know just where you want it before your skip is dropped off. Though it isn't a problem having a skip placed on private property, if you want the skip placed on a road then you will have to get hold of a permit from your local council. The skip hire company should be able to organize all the paperwork for you, though, for an extra fee.

Some other points to consider are what can and can not be placed in a skip, though a reputable skip hire company should be able to advice you appropriately. Things that you can not place in a skip are refrigerators and freezers, computer and television monitors, car batteries, paint tins, gas bottles and tires.

You can hire a skip either online, by email or by telephone and a good company will be able to give you definite pick up and drop off dates, an exact quote of the costs involved and all of the information you require about your hire.

If you fail to choose a reputable skip hire company and the company illegally dumps your waste then the problem could come back to haunt you, as some waste can be traced. So make sure that you know exactly what the company will do to dispose of your skip contents. Additionally, a good company will provide you with cones and lights if you have decided on having the skip situated on a public road.

It can be difficult finding a dependable and reputable skip hire company, though the best way to find a good company is through personal recommendations. Ask around friends and family if they know of a company that has provided a good service, or search online for your nearest hire company, then research their background.
