Reliable skip hire in Bonnyrigg.

You can use a skip to discard a variety of waste types. We are experienced in picking up and handling a multitude of items produced from building jobs, garden landscaping and household tidy-ups. A few examples of permitted waste products include:

• Furniture
• Garden trimmings
• Soil
• Stone
• Bathroom toilets and sinks
• Cabinets and units

Many different waste types are usually permitted, therefore whether you need to discard metals, plastic materials, wood or fabric, we can usually take your waste away.

The volume and items you throw in your skip can vary depending on which size skip you chosen. Skips do have a maximum weight limit for safety purposes. So to be able to get rid of soil and concrete, as an example, the largest size container you would be able to hire would be the 8 cubic yard builders skip.

Is there anything that I can’t put in the skip?

There are a few waste items that you are not permitted to get rid of in the skip. The reason for this is that these goods include hazardous components that may cause damage to the environment. They may also be damaging to human health, and so they must be discarded separately under UK legislation.

A few of the goods that are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Refrigerators
• Gas canisters
• Computer screens
• Batteries
• Tyres
• Chemical substances
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

As we provide a national waste management service, we utilise a comprehensive network of verified companies.

When your skip is ordered, we will do our very best to deliver it for you on a day that suits you. We can usually give you a next day delivery service for orders arranged prior to 3pm on Monday to Friday. This is subject to having the skip on private property, because to go on public property (such as a highway), you will have to obtain a skip permit which may take a couple of days to arrange.

Due to several factors that can impact our service, we can never promise an exact delivery time. However, we will always aim to tell you whether you can expect it turning up in a morning or afternoon slot.

Unfortunately this is not allowed, since electronic products including old TVs, cookers, pcs and monitors are classified as hazardous waste materials. As a result of the Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electronic items have to be kept separate so that they can be recycled and disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly fashion.

The term builder’s skip can refer to two different sizes – the 6 cubic yard and 8 yd skip. The name comes from the fact that these are the most common sizes ordered by general builders and tradespeople.

These big skips are ideal for a multitude of domestic and business tasks. These are the largest sizes that can be used for hefty builders waste like soil, rubble and bricks.

It is usually best if you can be available when anyone delivers anything to your house. That enables you to ensure there is sufficient access for the delivery, and the skip can be positioned just where you want it.

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

However, should it be unavoidable and access is not an issue, you don’t have to be there when the skip is delivered.

For those who have a small quantity of waste to get rid of, the mini skip could be the best solution. What size is identified as a mini skip differs from company to company, according to what sizes they provide.

The most popular size for a mini skip is 2 cubic yards. However, some companies opt to provide a 3 yard skip for their smallest option. The price is dependent on the specific size you hire, rather than the phrase “mini skip”.

Mini skips are perfect for residential work including small DIY projects and garden tidy ups. If you want it put on your driveway and want space to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a good choice.

Generally speaking, the majority of skips can be provided with a drop down door, depending on the size, availability and location. If you want a drop door, please let us know when ordering your skip.

Having a skip which has a drop door is primarily beneficial when choosing a large builder’s skip, because it means that you can wheelbarrow waste materials directly into the skip. This isn’t as important for midi and mini skips, because they are low enough at the ends for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

I’m afraid not. You are only allowed to fill up your skip up to the level load mark. Stacking waste up over this line makes it unsafe to transport, and you can be told to take away the extra waste before your skip can be collected. This includes using doors, sheets of wood or other materials to increase the skip height. Again, this makes transportation of the skip dangerous and could also make it overweight.

When it comes to hiring a skip in Bonnyrigg, you have numerous options to pick from, ranging from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 yard container, also known as the mini skip, is the smallest option available. This compact container is fantastic for modest household clearances and DIY jobs.

Our 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, which are available in either 6 or 8 yards. They are the most popular sizes ordered, as building contractors and tradespeople frequently make use of them. But their big capacity also makes them perfect for household clearances including large items such as household furniture and beds.

We are able to offer 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard bins for those with even bigger waste disposal requirements. These skips are only appropriate for lightweight waste, so they cannot be hired to get rid of soil or stone.

For further information about the different sizes offered, including measurements, have a look at our guide to skip sizes.

This will depend on where the skip will be located. You will only need to have a skip permit when it is positioned on public property, like a street, pavement or grass verge. You do not need a permit if the skip is on private property, such as a drive or inside your business premises.

Should you need to get a permit, we can arrange this for you as part of the service. Simply let us know during the order process, and we will make the necessary arrangements with the local council. They will charge a fee for this, so if you can have your skip on your own property, you will save a few pounds.

The roll-on roll-off skip, sometimes referred to as a RORO, is a massive skip that can be used to dispose of large quantities of waste. These containers are mainly for business use but can be hired by household clients too. However, you should have lots of space since these skips range from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which is much larger when compared to the typical skip you will likely see on the side of the road.

As a result of the size, these containers should only be hired for lightweight materials such as plastics, timber and cardboard, so they are not suited to disposing of concrete and bricks.

Usually, you can keep the skip for a maximum of two week. This means you do not need to hurry through your project. When you have completed your project or the skip is full ahead of the 14-day mark, we will be glad to come and pick up the skip earlier. Just give us a call or contact us on our website, and we will be out to get it as quickly as possible.

As soon as your skip is full and ready for collection, we will pick it up and take it to a local waste recycling centre, where it will be processed. The rubbish will get segregated into various waste types, including wood, soil and paper. This helps to ensure as much of the collection can be recycled as possible. We are proud of our dedication to protecting the environment by sending as little waste to landfill as possible!
