Reliable skip hire in Blackburn.

No, you do not need to be at home when we deliver the skip. As long as we can access where you need it positioned, we are able to take care of everything.

If you will not be at home, simply let us have any relevant delivery directions when you place the order. For instance, you may want the skip to be positioned on a particular area of the drive. Alternatively, you might want to make sure the skip does not obstruct use of your garage.

Whatever the case might be, simply let us know when you place your order, and we will ensure the instructions will be passed to the lorry driver.

It is possible to throw a variety of rubbish into your skip. This can include wood, floor tiles, plastics or rubble from a property clearance. Tree and bush clippings, dirt and stone from garden tasks are allowed too. Dated units from your kitchen and old bathroom fittings may also go in your skip.

However, there are some things that you are not allowed to put in a skip because of the possible ecological or health risk they could trigger.

You are unable to throw in your refrigerator, computer monitor or your old car tyres. Asbestos, paint or chemical waste is also prohibited in the skip. Each of these things consist of hazardous elements in one type or another. They need to be discarded separately from general rubbish.

If you need hazardous waste removal, we may be able to schedule an independent collection for this material. Feel free to email for additional details. Alternatively, if you are a domestic customer, you may be able to take this sort of waste to your local council managed recycling centre.

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

Having a skip which has a drop-down door makes it easier to load materials into the bin, especially with heavy materials, such as soil and gravel, which can be pushed in with a wheelbarrow. This also makes it easier to throw in big and bulky items, such as furniture.

We can in most cases deliver skips to Blackburn the next working day when an order is confirmed before 3pm. This applies to purchases made between Monday and Friday.

Our simple online booking system will give you various delivery dates to select from. So whether you would like the skip delivered ASAP or would like to schedule delivery for a later date, it’s not a problem.

The mini skip will be the smallest size available from skip companies and is perfect for smaller DIY tasks, house clearances and general tidy-ups. For most firms, the mini skip is a 2 cubic yard skip, that will hold the equivalent of around 25 bin bags worth of waste.

Rather than a 2 yard skip, some skip companies offer a 3 yard as their smallest container. They will refer to this as the mini skip, which may be slightly confusing. But rest assured, the price of hiring the skip depends on the actual size of the skip you order, so whether it is branded as being a mini skip or not will not make any difference.

Ordering a skip shouldn’t be hard. This is why we have made the order process as simple as possible. First, enter your delivery postcode to see all the different skips we can deliver to Blackburn. Select the size you wish to hire, and confirm if it is going to be delivered on private property. Type in your information and make payment using our secure online payment platform.

Once your order is complete, we will send you a confirmation email with your order information. You can then sit back and relax while we take care of the rest.

As soon as your skip is full and ready for collection, it will be taken to a nearby waste transfer station to be processed. The waste will be sorted into the different waste materials, including wood, cardboard, paper, etc. This makes sure that the maximum amount of the waste as possible is recycled, which is much better for the environment.

Normally, it will be possible to have a skip put on the road, pavement or grass verge outside of your home or company. But to do this, you need to have consent from the local council in Blackburn, which is known as a skip permit. We can arrange this on your behalf, so you don’t need to worry. The local authority will charge a fee for this license, and it may sometimes take 24-48 hrs for them to authorise this.

You can typically keep a skip for as long as two weeks from the delivery date. You are able to give a preferred collection date when you make your order. Alternatively, you can tell us once you have loaded the skip, and we will organise your collection. In most cases, this will be the following working day, although it can occasionally take a bit longer over busy periods.

Since we offer a national waste management service, we use an extensive network of verified businesses. These can include small local skip hire companies to nationwide waste management providers. Our service providers are vetted to ensure they satisfy our high customer service and environmental standards.

A roll-on roll-off skip, often referred to as a RORO, is a huge container that is used to dispose of large amounts of waste. These skips are primarily for business use but can be used by residential clients too. However, you will want a good amount of room because these skips range between 20 to 40 cubic yards, which is much larger when compared to the typical skip you will see on a neighbour’s driveway.

Due to the size, roll-on roll-off containers can only be hired for lightweight materials such as plastics, timber and cardboard, and so they are not suitable for getting rid of soil and bricks.

You should not fill your skip past the level load mark. If you fill it over the tip of this mark, it means that your skip is not safe to transport, and you may be asked to take off the excess rubbish before it can be picked up.

Electric powered objects like tv sets, freezers, refrigerators, laptops or computers, monitors and washing machines are all classed as a hazardous waste and so can not be placed in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 dictates that electric goods need to be segregated from other rubbish. This helps ensure they can be reused, recycled and disposed of in the safest and most eco friendly way.

As the name suggests, a builder’s skip means the size of skip most frequently used for construction work. There are generally two skip sizes that can be classed as being a builder’s skip – the 6 yard and 8 yard skip. They are both heavy-duty skips which can be used to get rid of substantial volumes of building and demolition materials, such as earth, concrete and rock.

Even though they are branded a builder’s skip, they can of course be used for a number of other household and business waste disposal tasks.

We offer a full variety of skip capacities to household and industrial clients all over the UK. We have a skip to match all needs – from the modest 2 yard mini skip to the enormous 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container.
