Reliable skip hire in Devizes.

Preferably, you should have the skip left on to a hard surface area. For anyone who is carrying out a household project, then the drive is going to be best. When it is a commercial job, then a car park or business premises is the ideal solution. Having said that, when neither is available, the road or grass verge could be your only option. As this is public property, you must have a permit from the local authority. This is known as a skip permit, and will be needed for a skip to be dropped on a street, grass verge or other public property in Devizes. If this is required, we will arrange for the license to be granted on your behalf. An additional charge, paid to the local authority, will be added to the price of your skip.

We will ask you to confirm when you would like your skip to be delivered as part of the online order process, and we’ll ensure that it’s with you on the day that you have requested. The majority of our deliveries are made between Monday and Saturday.

If you confirm your booking before 3pm on a Monday to Friday, we will typically have your skip delivered to you the next day.

Although we cannot guarantee what time we will deliver your skip, we try to give you an AM or PM delivery slot to manage your day more conveniently.

All we request is that you ensure the delivery driver has access to your required delivery spot, as unsuccessful deliveries will result in a fee for a wasted trip.

A skip can be used to get rid of a variety of types of waste. We are used to collecting and processing a multitude of items generated from building jobs, garden projects and house clean-ups. A few examples of permitted waste types include things like:

• Household furniture
• Hedge trimmings
• Garden soil
• Hardcore
• Bathroom toilets and sinks
• Cabinets and units

Many different waste types are allowed, therefore whether you would like to discard metals, plastic materials, wood or textiles, we can normally take your rubbish away.

The volume and things you throw into the skip will vary depending on which size skip you have hired. Skips do have a maximum weight limit for safety reasons. So if you need to discard garden soil and rubble, for example, the biggest size you would be able to hire would be the 8 cubic yard skip.

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

There are a few items you will not be able to throw out in your skip. The reason for this is that some items contain hazardous materials which may be damaging to the environment. They can also be damaging to human health, so they need to be disposed of separately within UK law.

A few of the things that are restricted include:

• Paint
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas cylinders
• Computer monitors
• Battery packs
• Tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

The standard hire term is two weeks from the date of delivery. However, at the time you book the skip, you can tell us a pick up date that will work for you. Obviously, there is a chance that you simply won’t know how long your project will take. So if the skip is finished with earlier than anticipated, contact us, and we will get it collected as soon as possible.

We can normally be out to pick up your skip within 48 hours. However, it is important to keep in mind that this may not be possible at busy times. Once collected, your skip will be transported to a local waste transfer centre, where it will be processed and sorted.

It is important never to overload a skip, as you run the risk of being told to remove excess waste prior to it being picked up. Irrespective of what size you hire, you are only able to load them to a level load. This is a basic safety requirement, because transporting an overloaded bin will be dangerous, as materials could drop and result in personal injury or damage to other people.

To avoid this situation, please be sure to hire a size suited to your waste disposal needs. If your skip is full and you have more rubbish to get rid of, we are pleased to arrange an exchange.

The mini skip is the smallest skip delivered by skip companies and is good for smaller DIY tasks, shed clearances and general tidy-ups. For most firms, the mini skip is a 2 cubic yard skip, that can contain the equivalent of about 25 black bags worth of rubbish.

Rather than a 2 yard skip, some skip companies offer a 3 cubic yard as the smallest skip. They will likely refer to this as the mini skip, which can be a bit confusing. But rest assured, the actual cost of hiring the skip is based on the actual size of the skip ordered, so whether it is branded as a mini skip or not will not make any difference.

Hiring 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 skip sizes we can deliver to Devizes.

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

These substantial skips are suitable for numerous types of household and business jobs. These are the biggest sizes which you can use for weighty builders waste like soil, stone and bricks.

When it comes to hiring a skip in Devizes, you have various sizes to select from, ranging from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 yard skip, sometimes called the mini skip, is the smallest choice available. This compact skip is excellent for small domestic clearances and DIY jobs.

The next size available is the 4 yard midi skip, that can hold the equivalent of approximately 35-40 bin bags of waste.

After the midi are the builder’s skips, which are available in either 6 or 8 yards. These are the most frequent sizes ordered, as building contractors and tradespeople frequently use them. But their substantial capacity also means they are well suited for house clearances including bulky items such as furniture and beds.

We are able to provide 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard containers for customers with even larger waste disposal needs. These containers are only suitable for lightweight materials, so they can’t be used to get rid of soil or rubble.

For additional details about the different capacities offered, including measurements, take a look at our guide to skip sizes.

The price of getting a skip in Devizes depends on the size of skip you require. The lowest priced skip available will be the 2 yard mini skip, which is suited to small DIY projects and clearances. If you require a larger sized skip, like an 8 cubic yard builder’s skip, it will naturally cost a bit more. The charge will also be more if you want to have your skip placed on the highway, since you will require a permit, which the local authority charge a fee for.

No, you don’t need to be home when we are delivering the skip. Providing we are able to access where you want it positioned, we will take care of it all.

In the event you will not be in, simply provide us with any relevant delivery directions when booking the order. For example, you might want the skip to be positioned on a particular part of your driveway. Or you might need to ensure that the skip does not obstruct access to your garage.

Whatever the situation might be, tell us when you place your order, and then we will make sure your instructions are passed on to the lorry driver.

No, you cannot put old or broken electrical waste products in a skip. This can include things such as laptops or computers, hobs, dishwashers, refrigerators and monitors. Electronic objects can’t be discarded in the skip as they can have dangerous materials and components.

As a result of the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electronic products cannot be sent to landfill and should be reused or recycled.

When you have finished filling your skip, we will come and get it. It will be transported to a waste recycling centre in or local to Devizes where we separate the waste into its composite types (wood, plastics, rubble, etc.). By separating the waste, we can recycle as much of it as is possible.

Nearly all skips can be delivered with a drop door, which makes them easier to load. However, we cannot always guarantee this. If you require a skip that has a drop-down door, please let us know when placing your order, and we can do our best to accommodate.

A skip that has a drop-down door makes it easier to load materials into the skip, especially with heavy materials, such as garden soil and rubble, which can be pushed in with a wheelbarrow. This also makes it easier to throw in large and bulky objects, such as household furniture.
