No, you cannot put old electronic waste products in a skip. This can include things such as computers, cookers, washing machines, refrigerators and tv sets. Electronic objects can’t be disposed of in your skip since they can contain dangerous materials and components.

Under the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electronic goods cannot be sent to landfill and must be recycled.

Our standard hire term will be two weeks from your date of delivery. However, at the time you book the skip, you can select a pick up date that is perfect for you. Of course, there is a possibility that you won’t know how long your project will take. Therefore, if your skip is fully loaded earlier than anticipated, tell us, and we will collect it at the earliest opportunity.

We can usually complete collections within 48 hours. However, it is important to remember that this may not be possible during busy times. Once collected, your waste will be taken to your local waste recycling centre, where the waste will be processed and sorted.

Typically, the majority of skips can be supplied with a drop-down door, dependant upon the size, availability and area. If you require a drop door, be sure to tell us when ordering your skip.

Having a skip that has a drop door is primarily helpful if hiring a large builder’s skip, since it enables you to wheelbarrow your waste directly into the skip. This is not as important for midi and mini skips, because they are small enough at the ends for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

It is essential to never overload your skip. You can not pass the level load mark that is indicated on the side of the skip. If your skip is overloaded, it will become very dangerous to move. This means that when you overfill the skip, you could be asked to remove the excess waste. Regardless of how safe you think the skip to be, it cannot be picked up if overloaded. This includes using old doors or other large flat pieces to build up around the rubbish. This is hazardous and is not allowed.

A roll-on roll-off skip (RORO) is a substantial container used to dispose of significant volumes of waste. Predominantly, these containers are used for commercial purposes. Having said that, residential customers may also order them. It is very important think about the area they occupy, since they measure between 20 – 40 cubic yards. For this reason, they can only be hired for lightweight waste including paper, wood and cardboard, and are not suitable for the disposal of soil and concrete.

The materials in the skip will be taken to a nearby waste transfer station. Here the rubbish will be sorted by machines and by hand into different waste streams, like soil, cardboard, hardcore and timber. Sorting the rubbish in this manner helps to increase the volume which can be reused and recycled. Our aim and motivation is to maximise recycling and minimise the quantity of waste that has to go in landfill.

The mini skip is the most compact size offered and can describe either the 2 or 3 yard skip. These compact bins are great for small DIY work and domestic clearances. Their small footprint means they are great for driveways.

They can be used to get rid of all types of waste, from house furnishings and old baby toys to paving slabs and rubble. Having a total capacity of approximately 25-30 bin bags of waste, the mini skip can save you having to make numerous visits to your local recycling centre.

You can load the skip with a wide array of different waste types which are commonly produced from house clearances, building projects, garden landscaping and many other jobs. This may include timber, soil, bricks, garden trimmings, pieces of furniture, clothing, kitchen cabinets or old bathroom suites.

What you throw in the skip depends on the skip size you have ordered, because there is a maximum weight restriction. For example, in the event that you will be using the skip for heavy building waste including concrete or dirt, the biggest size you could get is an 8 cubic yard builders skip.

Some materials can not be disposed of in the skip. This can include fridges, computer monitors, car tyres, chemicals, paint, asbestos and plasterboard. These materials are classed as hazardous waste and must be disposed of separately.

To find out how much it will cost to hire a skip in Colyton, type in your postcode into the search box above. We will instantly display which sizes we offer in your location and how much each one will cost you to order. If your skip is going to be on the highway or other council-owned property, a skip permit fee will also have to be factored in.

If at all possible, you want to have the skip dropped on to a hard surface area. For anybody who is carrying out a domestic job, then the driveway is going to be perfect. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the way to go. However, if neither is available, the street or grass verge might be your only option. As this is public land, you need to have a permit from the local council. This is known as a skip permit, and will be needed for a skip to be placed on the road, grass verge as well as other public property in Colyton. If this is required, we will arrange for the permit to be issued for you. An extra fee, paid to the local council, will be added to the price of your chosen skip size.

It usually is best if you can be available when anyone delivers something to your home. That allows you to make sure there is sufficient access for the delivery, plus the skip can be positioned just where you need it.

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

However, should it be unavoidable and the access is not a problem, you do not have to be there when the skip is delivered.

We use a large network of both regional and national skip hire businesses to supply skips to our clients in Colyton and the rest of the country. Every one of our partner firms are approved and tested to make certain they satisfy our expectations for price, customer service, recycling rates and reliability.

The term builder’s skip can relate to two sizes – the 6 yard and 8 yd skip. The term originates from the fact that these are the most typical sizes that are used by general builders and tradespeople.

These substantial containers are perfect for numerous types of residential and industrial jobs. These are the largest sizes which can be used for heavy builders waste including dirt, rubble and gravel.
