Reliable skip hire in East Linton.

We can supply a full range of skip sizes to meet your particular requirements, from 2 to 40 cubic yards. Our smallest available skip is the 2 yard mini skip, a compact skip ideal for modest DIY projects and house clearances. A common choice for larger tasks, renovations and building work is the 8 yard builders skip.

For East Linton firms which have a significant volume of bulky waste, we can offer RoRo skips (roll on roll off skips), which range from 20-40 cubic yards in size.

As the name suggests, a builders skip is the size of skip most often supplied for construction work. There are typically two sizes which can be described as being a builder’s skip – the 6 cubic yard and 8 cubic yard skip. They are both heavy-duty containers which can be used to get rid of substantial volumes of building and demolition materials, like dirt, concrete and rock.

Although they are labelled a builder’s skip, these can of course be used for a number of other residential and commercial waste disposal jobs.

The mini skip is the smallest size available from skip firms and is designed for smaller DIY tasks, garden clearances and general tidy-ups. For the majority of companies, the mini skip is a 2 yard skip, which can contain the equivalent of roughly 25 black bags worth of rubbish.

Rather than a 2 yard skip, some firms provide a 3 cubic yard as the smallest container. They will refer to this as the mini skip, which may be a bit confusing. But rest assured, the fee for hiring the skip depends on the actual size of the skip ordered, so whether it is branded as a mini skip or not will not make any difference.

Usually, you can keep a skip for a maximum of two week. Which means you do not need to hurry through your project. Once you have finished your project or the skip is full prior to the 14-day mark, we will be glad to come and get the skip earlier. Just give us a call or get in touch online, and we will be out to pick it up as quickly as possible.

No, you don’t need to be home when we are delivering your skip. Providing we are able to gain access to where you want it located, we will take care of everything.

In case you are not going to be in, simply provide us with any relevant delivery instructions when you book the order. For instance, you might want the skip to be located at a particular side of your driveway. Alternatively, you may need to ensure the skip doesn’t hinder use of your garage.

Whatever the situation may be, tell us when ordering, and then we will make sure the directions are passed on to the lorry driver.

We can usually deliver skips to East Linton the following working day when your order is placed before 3pm. This is applicable to purchases made between Monday and Friday.

Our online booking platform gives you a range of delivery dates to pick from. So whether you want the skip to arrive ASAP or would like to schedule delivery for a later date, it’s no problem.

Generally speaking, most skips can be supplied with a drop-down door, depending on the size, availability and area. If you require a drop down door, please let us know when ordering your skip.

Having a skip that has a drop door is primarily beneficial if hiring a big builder’s skip, as it means that you can wheelbarrow your rubbish into the skip. This is not as important for mini and midi skips, because they are lower enough at the edges for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

It is very important not to overload your skip, as you run the risk of being told to take off excess waste before it can be picked up. Regardless of the size you hire, you are only permitted to load them to a level load. This is a safety requirement, as moving an overloaded skip is unsafe, as waste could drop and cause injury or damage to other people.

To prevent this problem, please make sure you order a size suitable for your waste removal needs. If your skip is full but you have additional rubbish to get rid of, we are happy to organise an exchange.

This will depend on the size you require and whether you require a council permit. As you would expect, the smallest skip (the 2 cubic yard mini skip) will be the least expensive choice. The most costly and biggest option is the 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container, which is used mainly in industrial settings.

The roll-on roll-off skip, sometimes referred to as a RORO, is a massive skip that is used to get rid of large volumes of rubbish. These containers are mainly for business use but can be used by domestic customers also. Having said that, you need lots of space since these skips range between 20 to 40 cubic yards, which are much larger than the average skip you will likely see on a neighbour’s driveway.

Due to the size, RORO containers should only be used for light-weight materials such as plastics, wood and paper, so they are not suited to getting rid of soil and rubble.

Electronic items like tv sets, freezers, refrigerators, computer systems, monitors and vacuum cleaners are classed as a hazardous type of waste and therefore should not be thrown in your skip. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 dictates that electrical goods have to be segregated from other materials. This ensures they can be recycled and disposed of within the safest and most eco-friendly manner.

Ordering a skip in East Linton with us is incredibly simple. Choose the skip size you will need and then enter a couple of details about when and where you would like the skip to be delivered. You can then pay for the skip using our secure online payment system. We will send a confirmation email and schedule to have your skip delivered to you.

Whenever your skip is full and ready for collection, we will pick it up and transport it to a local waste recycling station, where it will be processed. The rubbish will get sorted into a variety of waste streams, including stone, soil and plastics. This helps to ensure that as much of the collection is recycled as possible. Our company is very proud of our commitment to the environment by sending as little to landfill as possible!

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

If you need to get a permit, we can organise this for you as part of the service. Just tell us as part of the order process, and then we can make the necessary arrangements with your local authority. They will charge a fee for this, so if you can locate the skip on private land, you will save some pounds.

You can throw a variety of waste into the skip. This can include wood, floor tiles, plastics or bricks from a household clearance. Tree and bush cuttings, top soil and rock from garden jobs are permitted as well. Cabinets from a kitchen and old bathroom fittings may also go in your skip.

However, there are some things that you can’t put in a skip a result of the possible ecological or health risk they could cause.

You can not throw in your fridge, computer or your old car tyres. Chemical waste, asbestos or paint is also prohibited in the skip. All of these items incorporate hazardous components in one type or another. They need to be discarded separately from your general waste.

If you want hazardous waste disposal, we may be able to organise an independent service for this waste. Feel free to email us for further details. Alternatively, if you are a household customer, you might be able to take this sort of waste to your local council run recycling facility.
