Reliable skip hire in Chipping Sodbury.

If possible, you want to have the skip left on a hard surface area. For anybody who is carrying out a residential job, then a driveway is going to be best. When it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the way to go. On the other hand, when neither option is available, the street or grass verge could be your only option. As this is public property, you must obtain a permit from the local council. This is called a skip permit, and will be necessary for a skip to be placed on the road, grass verge or any other public property in Chipping Sodbury. If this is required, we will arrange for the permit to be issued on your behalf. An extra cost, paid to the local council, will be added to the cost of your chosen skip size.

Prior to ordering a skip, you must make sure that the kind of waste you intend to discard is allowed to go in the skip. Some objects and materials need to be kept separate and can’t be mixed with general rubbish. This is a legal requirement that aims to help protect the environment.

A few examples of waste types you could discard in a skip include household goods like pieces of furniture, floor tiles, kitchen cabinets, garden waste and plastics. You may also use a skip to dispose of building and demolition waste, including timber, top soil, stone, metals and concrete.

Some examples of prohibited items include electrical items, car tyres, paint, chemical substances, batteries and plasterboard. They are all classed as hazardous waste materials and therefore must be discarded separately from your general rubbish.

A builder’s skip may refer to either the 6 or 8 cubic yard skip. They are the biggest containers used to get rid of substantial construction waste such as rock, bricks, gravel or garden soil.

A builder’s skip is perfect for a wide range of projects. If you are getting an extension built, renovating your bathroom or clearing out the loft space, these big skips tend to be the most affordable option available.

You can normally have the skip for as many as 14 days from your date of delivery. You can give a preferred collection day when you place your order. Otherwise, you can let us know after you have finished, and then we will organise the collection. In most cases, this will be the following working day, although it can sometimes take a bit longer during hectic periods.

If you are choosing a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will come with a drop down door. This is perfect for getting rid of heavy building and construction waste, as it can be pushed in to the skip with a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 yarders also have a drop-down door, although they are less common. This is because these sizes are typically small enough at the ends to be able to tip a wheelbarrow of waste materials into them.

If you require a drop door for your job, please tell us when placing your order. We will do our utmost to ensure a container which has a drop door is provided.

The cost of hiring a skip in Chipping Sodbury depends on the size of skip you need. The cheapest option available is the 2 cubic yard mini skip, which is suited to small DIY jobs and clearances. If you need a larger sized skip, like an 8 yd builders skip, it will naturally cost a bit more. The cost will also be more if you need to have the skip placed on the road, since you will require a permit, which the local authority charge a fee for.

It is essential to not overload the skip. You should not pass the level load mark shown on the side of the skip. If your skip is overloaded, it can be very dangerous to transport. This means that if you overfill the skip, you might be required to take off the excess waste. Regardless of how secure you think the skip to be, it can not be collected if overloaded. This includes using doors or any other large flat materials to build up around the waste. This is hazardous and is prohibited.

We are able to offer a wide range of skip sizes to meet your specific needs, from 2 to 40 cubic yards.

A popular option for more substantial jobs, refurbishments and building work is the 8 cubic yard builders skip.

For Chipping Sodbury businesses with a large amount of bulky waste materials, we can provide RoRo containers (roll on roll off skips), which range from 20-40 cubic yards in size.

The mini skip will be the most compact skip available from skip firms and is perfect for small DIY tasks, garage clearances and general tidy-ups. For most companies, the mini skip is a 2 yard skip, that will hold the equivalent of roughly 25 black bags worth of waste.

Rather than a 2 yard skip, some companies will offer a 3 yard as their smallest container. They will refer to this as a mini skip, which can be a little confusing. But rest assured, the fee for hiring a skip depends on the actual size of the skip ordered, so whether it is classed as a mini skip or not will not make any difference.

As a result of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electronic items need to be kept separate from general waste to be reused, recycled or disposed of safely. This includes all electric powered goods such as washing machines, TVs, toasters, tablets and even hair straighteners.

The roll-on roll-off skip, often referred to as a RORO, is a massive container used to get rid of large quantities of rubbish. These skips are mainly for industrial use but can be used by household clients as well. However, you will require lots of space as these skips range between 20 to 40 cubic yards, which are much bigger compared to the typical skip you will likely see on a neighbour’s driveway.

As a result of the size, RORO skips should only be provided for light materials like plastics, wood and paper, so they are not suitable for disposing of soil and bricks.
