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

These substantial skips are fantastic for an array of residential and business jobs. These are the biggest skips that can be used for heavy builders waste such as soil, stone and gravel.

Electric powered items such as tv sets, freezers, refrigerators, personal computers, monitors and washing machines are classed as a hazardous waste type and therefore should not be disposed of in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 requires that electric powered items should be separated from other waste. This ensures that they can be reused, recycled and disposed of in the safest and most eco friendly manner.

The mini skip will be the smallest size provided by skip firms and is ideal for smaller DIY jobs, shed clearances and general tidy-ups. For the majority of companies, the mini skip will be a 2 cubic yard skip, which will contain the equivalent of about 25 bin bags worth of waste.

Rather than a 2 cubic yard skip, some skip firms provide a 3 yard as the smallest skip. They will likely refer to this as being a mini skip, which may be a bit confusing. But rest assured, the actual cost of hiring the skip depends on the actual size of the skip you order, so whether it is labelled as a mini skip or not will not make a difference.

It is essential not to overfill the skip. You must not pass the level load mark shown on the side of the skip. When the skip is overloaded, it can be very hazardous to move. Which means that when you overload the skip, you might be asked to take away the surplus waste. However secure you think the skip is, it cannot be picked up if overloaded. This includes using old doors or any other large flat materials to build up around the rubbish. This is dangerous and is therefore prohibited.

Once your skip is ordered, we will try our very best to deliver it for you on a day that best suits you. We will normally give you a following day delivery service for orders arranged before 3pm on Monday to Friday. This will be subject to having your skip placed on private property, since to be on public property (such as a street), you will have to get a skip permit which will take a couple of days to arrange.

As a result of several factors that could impact our service, we can never promise an exact delivery time. However, we will always aim to inform you whether you can expect it turning up in a AM or PM slot.

We use a network of both local and nationwide skip hire firms to deliver skips to our customers in Egremont and the rest of the country. Each of our partner skip companies are verified and evaluated to ensure they meet our expectations for price, customer service, recycling and reliability.

A roll-on roll-off skip (RORO) is a huge container used to get rid of significant amounts of waste. Primarily, these containers are hired for business uses. Having said that, domestic customers can also use them. It is essential to take into account the area they will occupy, as they measure between 20 to 40 cubic yards. Because of this, they can only be utilised for light waste like plastics, wood and cardboard, and are not suitable for the removal of dirt and hardcore.

Your skip can be hired to dispose of a variety of types of waste materials. We are experienced in collecting and processing numerous items generated from building work, garden landscaping and property tidy-ups. A few examples of permitted waste materials include things like:

• Household furniture
• Tree trimmings
• Soil
• Concrete and bricks
• Bathroom suites
• Cabinets and units

Many different waste types are accepted, therefore whether you want to get rid of metals, plastic materials, wood or clothing, we can normally take your waste away.

The quantity and things you throw in your skip may vary based on which size skip you ordered. Skips do have a maximum weight limit for safety. So if you would like get rid of soil and hardcore, for example, the biggest size container you would be allowed to use is the 8 yard builders skip.

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

There are a few waste items that you will not be permitted to get rid of in the skip. The reason for this is that these goods incorporate hazardous materials which can harm the environment. They could also be hazardous to human health, so they have to be disposed of separately under UK regulations.

A few of the products that are restricted include:

• Paint tins
• Solvents Refrigerators
• Gas canisters
• Computer screens
• Battery packs
• Tyres
• Chemical substances
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

If at all possible, you want to have the skip left on a hard surface area. For anyone who is carrying out a domestic task, then the driveway will be best. When 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 street or grass verge could be your only option. As this is public land, you will have to have a permit from your local authority. This is known as a skip permit, and will be essential for a skip to be dropped on a road, grass verge as well as other public property in Egremont. If this is required, we will arrange for the permit to be issued for you. An extra charge, paid to the local authority, will be added to the price of your chosen skip size.

When you have finished filling your skip, we will come and collect it. It will be taken to a waste recycling station either in or local to Egremont where we sort the waste into its composite types (timber, metal, concrete, etc.). By separating the rubbish, we can recycle as much of it as possible.

No, you don’t need to be home when we are delivering your skip. As long as we are able to access the place you want it positioned, we are able to take care of it all.

In case you are not going to be at home, just provide us with any relevant delivery directions when you book the order. For example, you may prefer the skip to be dropped at a particular part of your property. Alternatively, you may need to be sure that the skip doesn’t obstruct use of your garage.

Whatever the situation might be, tell us when you place your order, and then we will ensure your instructions will be passed to the delivery driver.

A common choice for bigger jobs, renovations and building work is the 8 cubic yard builders skip.

This is especially true with hefty waste such as garden soil and hardcore, which can then be loaded into the skip with a wheelbarrow. It will also make loading large bulky objects such as pieces of furniture much easier also.

The majority of skips can be supplied with a drop down door, however this can sometimes depend on area and availability. Let us know when placing your order if a drop door is needed, and we will do our absolute best to deliver this.
