Reliable skip hire in Axbridge.

It is important to never overfill the skip. You must not pass the level load mark that is shown along the side of the skip. If the skip is overfilled, it will become very unsafe to move. Which means that when you overload your skip, you could be asked to take away the surplus rubbish. Regardless of how secure you feel the skip is, it can not be picked up if overloaded. This includes making use of doors or any other large flat materials to build up around the rubbish. That is hazardous and is therefore not allowed.

Having a skip with a drop door makes loading rubbish into it a lot easier. This is especially true with hefty materials like garden soil or concrete, which can then be loaded into the skip with a wheelbarrow. It can also make throwing away big bulky items like pieces of furniture easier too.

The majority of skips can be provided with a drop down door, however this can sometimes depend on your location and availability. Let us know when placing your order if a door is needed, and we will do our absolute best to supply this.

Skips are available in a number of different sizes to match different waste disposal requirements. They are measured by volume, usually in cubic yards. The smallest of which is the 2 cubic yard skip, sometimes called the mini skip. It will hold approximately 25 bin bags of waste, which is ideal for small household projects.

The next size up is the 4 cubic yard skip, which can be used to hold approximately 35 bin bags of waste. This skip is roughly the dimensions of a small car and is sometimes referred to as a midi skip. The 4 yarder is a fantastic choice for garden shed clearances and domestic refurbishment jobs.

Should you have a more substantial waste disposal task to deal with, a builder’s skip could be the best option. These are available in both 6 and 8 cubic yards. As the label indicates, they are the most popular sizes used by builders for building waste, such as soil and stone. However they can just as well be hired for household rubbish such as old furniture or kitchen cabinets.

We can also provide 10-16 yard containers and industrial 20-40 cubic yard RORO containers. To get more details about all the different skip sizes we have available, click on the link below.

You should ensure the skip lorry can access the delivery area, as a unsuccessful delivery effort will most likely incur a charge for the wasted trip.

If you are searching for a cheap skip to get rid of some household waste, the mini skip might be just the thing you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 cubic yard capacity (based upon area), the mini skip is a cost-effective rubbish disposal solution to deal with many tasks.

A mini skip can fit on the smallest of driveways but can equally be positioned on the side of the road, subject to obtaining a skip permit.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) bins are large commercial size skips that are used primarily within the business sector. These come in 20-40 cubic yards, making them great for businesses that generate significant volumes of waste materials.

No, you cannot dispose of old electrical waste products in a skip. This includes items like printers, cookers, tumble dryers, freezers and tv sets. Electronic products can’t be discarded in your skip since they can include hazardous materials and components.

You don’t have to be at home when your skip is being delivered, but it can help. Being in when the skip arrives means you can ensure the lorry is given full access and that your skip will be located exactly where you want it. Likewise, if the skip is being hired to a company premises, we will appreciate your help at the time of delivery, particularly if gates will restrict the lorry’s access.

Even so, in the event you can’t be available during the time of delivery, don’t worry. We simply ask you to let us know when you place the order, and we will arrange everything from there.

A builders skip can refer to either the 6 or 8 yard skip. These will be the biggest skips that can be used to get rid of weighty building and construction waste such as stone, concrete, gravel or soil.

The builders skip is great for a wide range of jobs. If you are having an extension built, renovating your bathroom or cleaning out the garage, these big skips are usually the most cost-effective solution available.

In the vast majority of situations, your skip can be delivered on to your driveway, the road, pathway or grass verge and deliveries can be made to your house or place of work. If you would like the skip to be located on land outside of your company or home, you need to get authorisation from the local council in Axbridge, which is known as a permit. If necessary, we would be happy to arrange this on your behalf, therefore it’s one less issue to worry about. The local authority does charge a fee for the permit, plus you should know before placing your order that securing the licence will often take up to two working days.

This depends upon the skip size you require and if you require a council permit. As you would expect, the smallest skip (the 2 cubic yard mini skip) will be the cheapest option. The most costly and largest choice is the 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container, which is used primarily in business settings.

You can put a variety of rubbish into the skip. This can include timber, bathroom tiles, plastics or rubble from a house clearance. Shrub and bush clippings, soil and rock from garden jobs are allowed too. Cabinets from your kitchen and old bathroom fittings may also go in the skip.

There are, however, things that you can’t put in a skip a result of the possible ecological or health risk they may cause.

You cannot get rid of your fridge freezer, television or your old car tyres. Asbestos, paint or chemical waste is also prohibited in the skip. Each of these things include hazardous elements in one form or another. They should be discarded separately from your general rubbish.
