Reliable skip hire in Appleby-in-Westmorland.

Electrical objects like televisions, freezers, fridges, laptops or computers, monitors and washing machines are all classed as a hazardous waste and so cannot be thrown in your skip. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 dictates that electric objects must be segregated from other waste. This ensures they can be reused, recycled and disposed of within the safest and most eco-friendly manner.

We will ask you to confirm when you would like the skip to be delivered during the online order process, and we’ll ensure that it’s with you on the day that you have requested. The vast majority of our deliveries are made between Monday and Saturday.

If you confirm your order prior to 3pm on a Monday to Friday, we can typically have your skip delivered to you the following day.

Although we cannot guarantee what time we will deliver your skip, we endeavour to provide you with a morning or afternoon delivery slot to manage your day more conveniently.

All we request is that you make sure the delivery lorry has access to your required delivery spot, as failed deliveries will lead to a charge for the wasted trip.

If at all possible, you want to have the skip left on to a hard surface. For anybody who is doing a residential job, then the drive will be best. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the way to go. However, when neither is available, the road or grass verge may be your only option. As this is public property, you have got to get a permit from your local authority. This is called a skip permit, and will be required for a skip to be dropped on the street, grass verge as well as other public property in Appleby-in-Westmorland. If this is required, we will request the license to be granted on your behalf. An extra cost, paid to the local authority, will be added to the price of your skip.

It is essential to not overload your skip. You can not pass the level load mark that is indicated on the side of the skip. If your skip is overfilled, it will become very unsafe to transport. Which means that when you overfill your skip, you may be asked to take off the surplus waste. However secure you think the skip to be, it cannot be collected if overloaded. This includes making use of old doors or any other large flat pieces to build up around the rubbish. That is unsafe and is prohibited.

Skips are offered in a variety of sizes to suit different waste disposal requirements. They are measured by volume, usually in cubic yards. The smallest of these sizes is the 2 yard skip, sometimes called the mini skip. It can hold roughly 25 bin bags of rubbish, which is perfect for small domestic jobs.

Next up is the 4 yard skip, which will hold approximately 35 bin bags of rubbish. This skip is roughly the size of a smallish car and is often called a midi skip. The 4 yard is an excellent choice for attic clearances and home refurbishment jobs.

For those who have a more significant waste disposal task to sort out, the builder’s skip could be the most suitable option. These can be ordered in both 6 and 8 cubic yards. As the name suggests, these are the most typical sizes used by builders for building and demolition waste, including clay and rubble. But they can equally well be hired for domestic rubbish such as broken furniture or kitchen units.

We also offer 10-16 yard skips and commercial 20-40 yard roll-on roll-off containers. To get more information about all the different skip sizes we have available, please click the link below.

Guide to skip sizes

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

Some mini skips and 4 cubic yarders also come with a drop-down door, though these are typically less common. The reason being these sizes are generally small enough on the ends so that you can tip a wheelbarrow of waste materials into them.

If you require a drop door for your job, please let us know when placing your order. We will do our very best to make sure a container with a drop door is provided.

Our goal is to provide the most affordable skip hire service in Appleby-in-Westmorland. The price you pay will, of course, be determined by the size of skip you hire. It varies from the mini skip, which is the least expensive choice, all the way up to the 40 cubic yard RORO container. If you need to have a skip placed on the road or any other council property, you will also have to factor in the additional cost of the skip permit.

The items in the skip will be taken to a nearby waste transfer station. Here the contents will be sorted by machinery and by hand into various waste materials, like metal, plastics, rubble and timber. Sorting the waste in this way helps to increase the amount that can be reused and recycled. Our aim and motivation is to maximise recycling rates and minimise the volume of waste that has to go in landfill.

Before getting your skip, you must make sure that the sort of waste you want to dispose of is actually allowed to go in the skip. Some goods and materials need to be kept separate and can’t be mixed with general rubbish. This is a legal requirement which aims to help protect the environment.

Some examples of waste types it is possible to throw in your skip include home items like furniture, ceramic tiles, kitchen cabinets, garden waste and clothing. You may also use your skip to dispose of building and construction rubbish, such as wood, soil, stone, metals and concrete.

Examples of prohibited items include things like electrical goods, car tyres, paint, chemical substances, batteries and asbestos. These are all classed as hazardous waste materials and therefore have to be discarded separately from your general rubbish.

A roll-on roll-off skip (RORO) is a huge container that can be used to get rid of huge quantities of waste materials. Primarily, these containers are used for commercial applications. However, domestic customers may also hire them. You have to think about the area they occupy, because they measure between 20 to 40 cubic yards. Due to this, they can only be used for light-weight waste such as plastics, timber and cardboard, and are not suitable for the disposal of soil and hardcore.

When you are getting a skip delivered to your house, it is usually best to be there at the time it is delivered. Then you can ensure the lorry has full access and that the skip can be situated exactly where you want it. The same is true when you have a skip delivered to business premises, particularly if gates restrict access.

Having said that, if this isn’t achievable, you don’t have to stress. Simply let us know when making your booking, and we will handle the rest.

For those who have a small amount of waste to throw out, a mini skip might be the ideal choice. What size is known as a mini skip is different from company to company, depending on what sizes they offer.

2 cubic yards is the most widely used size for the mini skip. However, some firms choose to have a 3 yard skip for their smallest option. Cost is based on the specific size you hire, instead of the phrase “mini skip”.

Mini skips are ideal for domestic jobs like modest DIY projects and shed clean ups. If you would like it placed on your driveway and require space to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them the best choice.

You can usually hire your skip for up to 14 days from the date that it is delivered to you. To ensure that the collection will be as convenient as possible, you will have the choice of giving a preferred collection time when you make your order.

Alternatively, simply let us know when you have finished loading up the skip, and we will arrange to collect sooner – in the majority of circumstances, it will be the next working day.

It can take a little bit longer to collect your skip over busy times, but we will always endeavour to be there as swiftly as possible.

As the name suggests, a builder’s skip refers to the size of skip most often used for building and construction jobs. There are typically two sizes that may be labelled as a builder’s skip – the 6 cubic yard and 8 cubic yard skip. They are both heavy-duty bins which you can use to get rid of significant amounts of building and demolition waste materials, including earth, rubble and stone.

Although they are labelled a builders skip, these can be used for various other residential and commercial waste disposal jobs.
