Reliable skip hire in Alexandria.

In most cases, it will be possible to get a skip located on the street, pavement or grass verge outside of your house or company. But to get this done, you need to have permission from your local council in Alexandria, which is called a skip permit. We can arrange this for you, so you don’t have to worry. The council will impose a fee for the permit, and it can sometimes take up to 24-48 hrs for them to approve this.

No, you can not put old or broken electrical waste products in your skip. This can include things like computers, microwaves, washing machines, freezers and televisions. Electric objects can’t be disposed of in your skip since they can contain dangerous materials and components.

As a result of the 2003 WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electronic goods cannot go to landfill and should be reused or recycled.

No, you don’t need to be at home when we deliver the skip. Providing we can gain access to the place you need it located, we will take care of everything.

In the event you are not likely to be in, simply provide us with any relevant delivery instructions when you book the order. For instance, you may want the skip to be dropped on a particular part of your drive. Or you might want to ensure that the skip doesn’t obstruct entry to your garage.

Whatever the case may be, let us know when ordering, and then we will ensure the directions are passed to the lorry driver.

When your skip is ordered, we will try our very best to deliver it for you on a date that suits you. We will normally offer a next day delivery service for orders arranged before 3pm on Monday to Friday. This will be subject to having the skip on private property, since to be on public property (like a road), you will have to gain a skip permit which may take a couple of days to arrange.

As a result of several factors that could impact our service, we can never guarantee a precise delivery time. Having said that, we will always aim to inform you whether you can expect it turning up in a AM or PM slot.

For anyone who is selecting a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will have a drop-down door. This is perfect for disposing of heavy building and demolition rubbish, as it can be pushed in the skip with a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 cubic yarders also come with a drop down door, although they are more uncommon. The reason being these sizes are generally small enough at the ends for you to tip a wheelbarrow of waste materials into them.

If you need a drop door for your job, let us know when ordering. We will do our utmost to ensure a skip which has a drop door is delivered.

Generally, you can keep a skip for a maximum of two week. Which means you don’t have to rush through your project.

The RORO (roll-on roll-off) is a large container that can be used to transport large quantities of waste materials. Generally, these skips are hired for business applications. Having said that, domestic clients can also hire them. You have to consider the area they will occupy, since they measure between 20 and 40 cubic yards. For this reason, they must only be used for light-weight waste such as plastics, timber and cardboard, and are not suitable for the disposal of soil and hardcore.

It is possible to fill the skip with a wide range of different waste types which are commonly generated from house clearances, building projects, garden landscaping and many other jobs. This could include timber, top soil, stone, hedge trimmings, furniture, clothing, cabinets or outdated bathroom fittings.

What you throw in your skip will depend on which skip size you have ordered, because there is a maximum weight limit. For instance, if you will be using your skip for heavy construction waste including bricks or soil, the maximum size you would be able to get is an 8 yard builders skip.

The term builders skip can mean two sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 yard skip. The name comes from the fact that these are the most frequent sizes hired by general builders and tradespeople.

These big skips are fantastic for numerous types of household and commercial jobs. They are the biggest size skips which can be used for weighty builders waste such as soil, stone and bricks.

The mini skip is the most compact size offered and can describe either the 2 or 3 cubic yard skip. These small bins are ideal for small DIY work and house clearances. Their small footprint makes them great for driveways.

They may be used to get rid of all types of waste materials, from house furnishings and old toys to paving blocks and soil. Having a volume of about 25-30 bin bags of rubbish, the mini skip can save you having to make several trips to the local recycling centre.

Please don’t overfill your skip as this will make it hazardous to transport, and you will have to empty any contents over the level load mark. This means you are unable to use sheets of timber, doors or some other item, as this will artificially increase the height of the skip. Skip companies have a legal responsibility to make sure that bins are not overfilled or overweight before transporting them.
