Burton Latimer Skip Hire FAQs

What size skips have got a drop door?

For anybody who is choosing a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will have a drop-down door. This is great for disposing of hefty building and construction rubbish, as it can be pushed in the skip using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 cubic yarders also have a drop-down door, although they are less common. Simply because these sizes are generally small enough on the ends so that you can tip a wheelbarrow of waste into them.

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

What is classed as a builders skip?

A builder’s skip can refer to either the 6 or 8 cubic yard skip. These are the biggest skips that can be hired to dispose of substantial building waste materials such as rock, bricks, rubble or dirt.

A builders skip is perfect for a variety of tasks. If you are getting an extension built, remodelling your kitchen or clearing the shed, these substantial skips will often be the most affordable solution available.

How much waste will a mini skip hold?

When you have a small amount of waste to get rid of, a mini skip could be the perfect solution. What size is identified as a mini skip is different from company to company, depending on 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 as their smallest option. Cost depends on the particular size you order, rather than the phrase “mini skip”.

Mini skips are fantastic for residential tasks such as modest DIY projects and shed tidy ups. If you need it positioned on your driveway and need space to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a good choice.

What will happen to the rubbish once the skip is collected?

When your skip is full and ready for collection, it will be transported to a local waste transfer station to be processed. The contents will be sorted into various waste materials, including wood, metals, plastics, etc. This makes sure that as much of the waste as possible is recycled, which is much better for the environment.

Will a skip hire company from Burton Latimer deliver my skip?

To provide a thorough skip hire and waste management service throughout the UK, we work with a wide range of local and nationwide companies. This enables us to cover the whole of the UK and helps to make sure we are able to offer customers with the most affordable and reliable skip hire service.

What sizes do roll-on roll-off containers come in?

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) containers are big commercial size skips used primarily within the business sector. These come in 20-40 cubic yards, making them excellent for companies that produce significant quantities of waste materials.

When will my skip be delivered?

We will ask you to confirm when you would like the skip to be delivered during the 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.

When you complete your booking before 3pm on a Monday to Friday, we will typically have the skip delivered to you the following day.

Although we can’t promise what time we will arrive, we strive to provide a morning or afternoon delivery slot to manage your day more easily.

All we request is that you ensure the delivery lorry has access to your required delivery area, as failed delivery attempts can lead to a fee for the wasted trip.

Can a skip be dropped on a road in Burton Latimer?

Preferably, you want to have the skip dropped on a hard surface. For anybody who is doing a domestic task, then your driveway is going to be perfect. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or business premises is the way to go. Having said that, if neither option is available, the road or grass verge could be your only choice. As this is public land, you need to get a permit from your local authority. This is known as a skip permit, and will be required for a skip to be located on a street, grass verge as well as other public property in Burton Latimer. If this is needed, we will request the permit to be issued for you. An extra cost, paid to the local authority, will be added to the cost of your skip.

How long can I keep a skip for?

The price of hiring a skip will usually include a hire period of up to 14 days. In most cases, this provides you with plenty of time to load your skip. However, if you need a little more time, contact us, and we will see what we can do.

Needless to say, if you finish with the skip earlier, we are happy to arrange your pick up. Just tell us once you have finished, and then we will arrange to send out one of our drivers to collect the skip as soon as possible.

Am I allowed to get rid of electrical items in my skip?

No, you cannot throw old or unwanted electrical waste products in a skip. This can include things such as printers, microwaves, dishwashers, freezers and monitors. Electronic items can’t be thrown in the skip since they can have dangerous materials and components.

Due to the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electronic goods cannot go to landfill and should be recycled.

Can you deliver skips across Northamptonshire?

Along with delivering skips to Burton Latimer, we can also deliver to other towns and villages throughout Northamptonshire. Through a network of local and national skip hire businesses, we offer a totally nationwide service. So whether you need a skip delivering to Burton Latimer, Desborough or Rushden, we have got it covered.

What is the cost of hiring a skip in Burton Latimer?

The price of hiring a skip in Burton Latimer is determined by the size of skip you require. The lowest priced skip available is the 2 yard mini skip, which is suited to small DIY projects and general tidyups. If you need a bigger skip, like an 8 cubic yard builders skip, it will naturally be more expensive. The cost will also be more if you want to have the skip on the road, because you will require a permit, which the local authority charge a fee for.

Is it ok to stack up the waste in my skip?

Please don’t overfill the skip as this will make it unsafe to move, and you will probably be asked to empty any materials higher than the level load mark. This means that you are not allowed to use sheets of wood, doors or another item, since this will increase the size of the skip. We have a legal duty of care to make sure that bins aren’t overloaded or overweight before transporting them.

Please make sure that you choose the correct sized skip to suit your needs and get in touch if you’re unsure which size is best. We will be pleased to help.

What types of rubbish can you dispose of in a skip?

A skip may be used to discard a variety of types of waste materials. We are used to collecting and processing lots of items generated from construction jobs, garden landscaping and household tidy-ups. A few examples of allowed waste products include things like:

  • Furniture
  • Tree cuttings
  • Garden soil
  • Stone and concrete
  • Bathroom suites
  • Cabinets and units

Many waste materials are usually accepted, therefore whether you would like to dispose of furniture, plastic materials, wood or textiles, we can usually take your waste away.

The quantity and items you throw in the skip can vary depending on the size skip you have chosen. All skips do have a weight limit for safety. So if you need to dispose of soil and concrete, as an example, the largest size container you would be allowed to use would be the 8 cubic yard skip.

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

There are a few materials which you are not permitted to discard in your skip. The reason behind this is that these products incorporate hazardous components that may damage the environment. They could also be harmful to human health, therefore they need to be disposed of separately under UK regulations.

A few of the products which are restricted include:

  • Paint tins
  • Solvents Fridges
  • Gas canisters
  • Computer screens
  • Battery packs
  • Car tyres
  • Chemical substances

Do I need to be in when the skip will be delivered?

It usually is best if you can be available when anybody delivers something to your property. That enables you to make sure there is sufficient access for your delivery, and the skip can be dropped just where you want it.

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

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

Other areas covered include Desborough, Rushden, Brackley, Corby, Higham Ferrers, Oundle, Northampton and Kettering.
