Reliable skip hire in Alton.

You can typically have the skip for up to 2 weeks from the date of delivery. It is possible to provide a preferred pick up day at the time you make your order. Otherwise, you can let us know after you have loaded the skip, and we will plan the collection. Normally, this will be the following business day, although it can occasionally take a little bit longer over busy periods.

If you run a business in Alton and want to get rid of substantial volumes of light waste, a roll-on roll-off skip might be a perfect choice. Offered in 20 to 40 yards, they are the largest waste disposal containers that you can hire.

As the label implies, these containers can be rolled off and on the lorry with a hook, in contrast to conventional skips, that are picked up by using chains.

It is essential to not overload the skip. You must not pass the level load mark that is indicated on the side of the skip. If your skip is overloaded, it can be very unsafe to move. Which means that when you overfill the skip, you may be required to remove the surplus rubbish. No matter how secure you believe the skip is, it cannot be picked up if overloaded. This includes using old doors or other large flat materials to build up around the rubbish. That is unsafe and is therefore not allowed.

The majority of containers can be delivered with a drop down door, making them easy to load. However, we cannot always guarantee this. If you would like a skip with a drop-down door, please tell us when making your order, and we can do our very best to accommodate.

Having a skip with a drop-down door can make it easier to load waste materials into the skip, especially with heavy materials, such as dirt and bricks, which can be pushed in using a wheelbarrow. It also makes it easier to throw in big and bulky items, such as pieces of furniture.

Along with delivering our range of skips to Alton, we also deliver to other towns and villages within Hampshire. By utilising our network of local and national skip hire businesses, we provide a truly nationwide service. So whether you need a skip delivering in Alton, Wickham or Totton, we have got it covered.

The phrase builder’s skip can relate to two different sizes – the 6 yard and 8 yard skip. The term originates from the fact that they are the most typical sizes that are used by general builders and tradespeople.

These big containers are suited to numerous types of household and commercial jobs. These are the biggest skip sizes that can be used for weighty builders waste such as garden soil, rubble and concrete.

Since we offer a UK-wide waste management service, we use a comprehensive network of verified and approved companies. These can include small family-run skip hire businesses to nationwide waste management providers. Each of our service providers are vetted to guarantee they meet our high customer service and environmental principles.

The price of hiring a skip in Alton will depend on the size of skip you require. The cheapest skip available will be the 2 cubic yard mini skip, which is suitable for small DIY jobs and clearances. If you require a bigger skip, like an 8 cubic yard builders skip, it will naturally cost more. The charge will also increase if you want to have a skip placed on the highway, as you will require a permit, which the council charge a fee for.

It is always a good idea to be in when anybody delivers something to your house. That enables you to ensure there is access for your delivery, and the skip can be placed exactly where you want it.

The same thing goes if you have a business. If there is a gate or security, it might not be possible to have a skip delivered when you are not present.

Nonetheless, when it is unavoidable and the access is not a problem, you don’t have to be there when the skip is being delivered.

When it comes to ordering a skip in Alton, you have various options to choose from, ranging from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 cubic yard container, often referred to as a mini skip, is the smallest choice available. This compact container is excellent for small house clearances and DIY work.

The next size available is the 4 yard midi skip, that can contain the equivalent of approximately 35-40 bin bags of waste.

After the midi comes the builder’s skips, that are available in either 6 or 8 cubic yards. They are the most common sizes ordered, as builders and tradespeople frequently use them. But their large capacity also means they are perfect for household clear ups involving bulky objects such as pieces of furniture and beds.

We can provide 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard bins for people and businesses with even bigger rubbish disposal requirements. These skips are only suitable for lightweight waste materials, so they can’t be hired to get rid of soil or rubble.

For further details about the different sizes offered, such as measurements, take a look at our help guide to skip sizes.

This is the easy part. First, choose the skip size you would like to hire. Let us know if the skip is going to be going on private property (a drive, for example) or on council property (like the street). After that, select the day you need the skip to get delivered. Check your order details and then make payment with our safe and secure online payment platform. Order complete! We will deliver your skip to Alton on the day you have chosen.

Before ordering your skip, it is essential to ensure that the sort of rubbish you intend to get rid of is allowed to go in the skip. Some objects and materials must be kept separate and can’t be mixed with general waste. This is a legal requirement designed to help protect the environment.

Examples of waste types you can put in a skip include home items like furniture, tiles, kitchen cabinets, garden waste and plastics. You can also use a skip to dispose of building and demolition waste, such as old bricks, top soil, rubble, metals and gravel.

Some examples of prohibited items include things like electronic products, tyres, old paint, chemical substances, batteries and asbestos. These are all considered hazardous waste materials and therefore need to be disposed of separately from any general rubbish.

I’m afraid it is not permitted, since electrical products including old televisions, fridge freezers, printers and monitors are classified as hazardous waste materials. Because of the Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, these items need to be kept separate so they can be recycled and disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly manner.

The mini skip is the smallest size offered and can describe either the 2 or 3 yard skip. These compact containers are fantastic for small DIY jobs and household clearances. Their small footprint means they are excellent for driveways.

They can be used to get rid of all types of waste, from household furniture and old baby toys to paving slabs and soil. With a capacity of approximately 25-30 bags of rubbish, the mini skip could save you needing to make multiple trips to the local recycling centre.

When you place an order before 3pm Monday to Friday, we can normally have your skip delivered the following day. In some instances, we will even provide a same day delivery service. Availability and delivery days will be confirmed as part of the online order process.

Whenever your skip is full and ready for collection, we will pick it up and take it to a local waste transfer station, where it will be processed. The rubbish will get separated into a range of waste streams, such as wood, soil and plastic materials. This helps to ensure as much of the collection can be recycled as possible. Our company is proud of our commitment to environmental protection by sending as little to landfill as possible!

This depends upon where the skip will be positioned. You will only require a permit if it is positioned on public property, like a street, pavement or grass verge. You do not need a permit if your skip will be on private property, like a drive or inside your company premises.

If you need to get a permit, we can arrange this on your behalf as part of the service. Just let us know during the order process, and we will make the required arrangements with your local authority. They will charge a fee for this, so if you can have your skip on private property, you will save a few pounds.
