Reliable skip hire in Bedford.

Due to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electrical items must be kept separate from general waste to be reused, recycled or disposed of safely. This can include all electrical goods such as tumble dryers, TVs, kettles, laptops and even hairdryers.

This depends on the size you need and whether you will need to have a council permit. As you would expect, the smallest skip (the 2 cubic yard mini skip) is the lowest priced option. The most costly and largest option is the 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container, which is used predominantly in industrial settings.

The mini skip is the smallest size offered and may describe either the 2 or 3 cubic yard skip. These small bins are great for small DIY jobs and domestic clearances. Their small footprint means they are ideal for driveways.

They may be used to get rid of all types of waste materials, from house furniture and broken baby toys to paving blocks and bricks. With a capacity of approximately 25-30 bags of waste, the mini skip could save you needing to make numerous journeys to the local recycling centre.

The roll-on roll-off container, sometimes referred to as a RORO, is a large container used to dispose of large volumes of waste. These skips are primarily for industrial use but can be used by household clients too. However, you should have lots of space since these skips vary from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which is much bigger compared to the average skip you will see on the roadside.

Due to the size, roll-on roll-off skips should only be used for light-weight materials like plastics, timber and paper, and so they are not suited to disposing of concrete and bricks.

We will ask you to confirm when you need your skip to be delivered as part of the online order process, and we’ll make sure 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 complete your order prior to 3pm Monday to Friday, we can normally have the skip delivered to you the next day.

Although we cannot promise what time we will arrive with your skip, we endeavour to offer you an AM or PM delivery slot to manage your day more conveniently.

All we request is that you make sure the delivery driver can access your required delivery spot, as unsuccessful deliveries can lead to a charge for the wasted journey.

Having a skip which has a drop down door can make loading waste into it so much easier. This is especially the case with heavy waste such as garden soil and hardcore, which can then be walked directly into the skip using a wheelbarrow. It can also make throwing away big bulky items like pieces of furniture easier also.

Most skips can be supplied with a drop down door, however it will sometimes depend upon your location and availability. Let us know when making your online order if a door is required, and we will do our best to provide this.

The term builders skip can relate to two different sizes – the 6 cubic yard and the 8 cubic yard skip. The term comes from the fact that they are the most frequent sizes that are hired by general builders and tradespeople.

These substantial skips are ideal for numerous residential and industrial tasks. They are the biggest sizes that can be used for weighty builders waste like dirt, rubble and bricks.

This is one of the most common questions people have about our service. What is important to remember is that you may fill up your skip with a wide range of different materials. After all, there are lots of kinds of rubbish that may result from garden work, building work and home clearances.

Some of the most common things which we find in skips include soil, wood, tree cuttings, kitchen units, sinks, and various household products.

However, there are some items that you are not allowed to discard in the skip. This includes any electrical goods (tumble dryers, monitors and laptops for example), tyres, asbestos sheets, plasterboard and chemicals. These are all regarded as hazardous waste, and so getting rid of them has to adhere to an entirely different procedure to ensure they do not cause harm to the environment.

This is the easy part. First, pick the skip size you would like to hire. Let us know if the skip will be going on private property (a drive, for example) or council property (like the road). Then, choose the day you would like your skip to get delivered. Check your order and make payment with our secure online payment system. That is it! We will deliver your skip to Bedford on the date you have selected.

As we provide a national skip hire service, we utilise an extensive network of verified and approved businesses. These range from small family-run skip hire businesses to nationwide waste management providers. All of our service providers are vetted to guarantee they match our high customer service and environmental requirements.

Once you have finished with your skip, we come and collect it. It will be transported to a waste recycling facility either in or local to Bedford where we will sort the rubbish into its composite types (timber, metal, soil, etc.). By separating the waste, we can reuse and recycle as much of it as possible.

Sure, we provide a national skip hire and waste management service. We can provide our range of skips to locations throughout Bedfordshire, such as Bedford, Flitwick, Woburn and Dunstable. So no matter where you need a skip to get delivered, we have got it covered.

You must not load your skip past the level load line. When you fill it up above the tip of this level, it means your skip will not be safe and secure to transport, and you can be asked to take off the extra waste prior to it being picked up.

It is usually best if you can be in when anyone delivers something to your house. That allows you to ensure there is sufficient access for the delivery, and the skip can be positioned exactly where you want it.

The same goes for those who have a company. If there is a gate or security, it may not be possible to have a skip delivered when you are not there.

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

You can usually keep the skip for as long as two weeks from the delivery date. You can provide a preferred collection day at the time you place your order. Alternatively, you can let us know once you have finished with the skip, and then we will plan the collection. Usually, this will be the following working day, although it can sometimes take a little longer during busy periods.

This depends upon where the skip will be positioned. You will only need to have a permit when it is placed on public property, like a road, pavement or grass verge. You do not require a permit when your skip will be on your private property, like a driveway or on your business premises.

Should you have to get a permit, we will arrange this for you as part of the service. Simply let us know during the order process, and then we can make the required arrangements with the local council. They do charge a fee for the permit, so if you can locate your skip on private land, you will save some money.
