What to know about Skip Hire

When it comes to waste removal, most people think of skip hire. Skip hire is a great option for removing large amounts of waste from your property quickly and efficiently.

What is skip hire?

Skip hire is a waste removal service that allows you to dispose of large amounts of waste quickly and easily. A skip is a large container that is delivered to your property and can be filled with any type of waste. Once the skip is full, it will be collected by the skip company and taken to a landfill or recycling facility.

How much does skip hire cost?

The cost of skip hire depends on a few factors, including the size of the skip, the type of waste being disposed of, and the length of time you need the skip for. Generally speaking, larger skips will cost more to hire than smaller ones. However, if you are disposing of hazardous materials, you may be charged a higher rate.

When do I need a skip permit?

If you are planning to place the skip on public property, such as the street or pavement, you will need to obtain a skip permit from your local council. Skip permits typically cost between £20 and £30 and are valid for 14 days.

What can’t I put in a skip?

There are some items that cannot be disposed of in a skip, such as asbestos, electrical equipment, fridges, freezers, and gas cylinders. If you attempt to put these items in a skip, you may be fined by the local authority.
