Reliable skip hire in Ellesmere Port.

You can normally hire a skip for up to 2 weeks from the day that it is delivered to you. To ensure the pick up is as convenient as possible, you will have the choice of giving a preferred collection time when making your order.

Otherwise, simply tell us when you’ve finished with the skip, and we will prepare to pick up sooner – in the vast majority of circumstances, it will be the next working day.

It may take a bit longer to pick up your skip over busy times, but we will always endeavour to come as swiftly as possible.

Ordering a skip in Ellesmere Port with us is very easy. Pick the skip size you need and input a handful of details about when and where you would like the skip to be delivered. You can then pay for the skip using our safe and secure online payment platform. We will send a confirmation email and then arrange to have your skip delivered on the date you have selected.

Unfortunately this is not allowed, because electronic items like old TVs, fridges, computers and monitors are classified as hazardous waste. Due to The Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electronic items have to be kept separate to allow them to be recycled and disposed of in a secure and eco friendly fashion.

No. You are only allowed to fill the skip up to the level load line. Stacking waste up above this line will make it unsafe to move, and you may be asked to get rid of the excess waste before the skip can be picked up. This includes the use of doors, sheets of wood or other materials to increase the skip height. Again, this will make transportation of the skip hazardous and can also make it overweight.

The builders skip is the most popular skip which is hired throughout the UK. Coming in either a 6 or 8 yard capacity, a builders skip is ideal for most building and construction work, which is where the name stems from.

The 8 yd builder’s skip is the largest size that can be used for hefty waste such as dirt, concrete, rock and gravel.

The mini skip is the most compact size offered and may describe either the 2 or 3 cubic yard skip. These small containers are fantastic for small DIY work and domestic clearances. Their small footprint means they are ideal for driveways.

They can be used to get rid of all types of waste, from house furniture and old baby toys to paving blocks and bricks. Having a total capacity of around 25-30 bin bags of rubbish, the mini skip will save you having to make multiple journeys to the local recycling centre.

You may use your skip to throw out many different waste types. We are used to collecting and processing numerous items produced from building work, garden projects and household clean-ups. Examples of permitted waste types include:

• Home furnishings
• Garden cuttings
• Top soil
• Bricks and rubble
• Bathroom sinks and toilets
• Kitchen cabinets and units

The majority of waste types are usually permitted, therefore whether you need to throw out furniture, plastics, timber or fabric, we can usually take your rubbish away.

The volume and things you throw in the skip will vary based on the size skip you hired. Skips do have a weight limit for safety reasons. So if you need to dispose of top soil and concrete, for example, the largest size container you will be permitted to hire will be the 8 cubic yard skip.

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

There are some waste items you will not be allowed to dump in your skip. The reason behind this is that these products include hazardous elements which can be harmful to the environment. They could also be damaging to human health, therefore they need to be disposed of separately within UK laws.

Some of the items which are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas cylinders
• Computer monitors
• Batteries
• Tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) skips are big commercial scale skips used predominantly in the business sector. They come in 20-40 cubic yards, making them ideal for businesses that produce significant volumes of waste.

To provide a complete skip hire and waste management service across the UK, we work together with a number of local and nationwide companies. This enables us to cover all corners of the UK and helps to make sure we are able to supply customers with the most cost effective and dependable skip hire service.

This depends on where the skip will be positioned. You will only need to have a skip permit if it is placed on public property, like a road, pavement or grass verge. You will not need to have a permit if your skip is on private property, such as a drive or on your company premises.

Should you have to get a permit, we will organise this for you as part of the service. Just tell us while completing the order process, so we will make the necessary arrangements with the local council. They will charge a fee for the permit, so if you can place your skip on private property, it will save you some money.

We will ask you to confirm when you want the 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’ve asked for. The majority of our deliveries are made between Monday and Saturday.

If you complete your order before 3pm Monday to Friday, we will typically have your skip delivered to you the following day.

Although we can’t guarantee what time we will arrive, we strive to offer you an AM or PM delivery slot to manage your day more easily.

All we request is that you ensure the delivery driver has access to your required delivery spot, as failed deliveries can lead to a fee for a wasted trip.

We will immediately show you the skip sizes we provide in your location and how much each size will cost to order. If your skip will be on the highway or any other council-owned property, a skip permit fee will also need to be factored in.

The waste in your skip will be taken to a local waste recycling facility. Here the rubbish will be separated by machinery and also by hand into numerous waste materials, like soil, plastics, concrete and wood. Processing the rubbish in this way helps to increase the quantity which can be reused and recycled. Our goal and commitment is always to maximise recycling rates and minimise the volume of waste ending up in landfill.

We supply a wide range of skip sizes to meet your specific requirements, from 2 to 40 cubic yards. The smallest available skip is the 2 yard mini skip, which is a compact skip great for modest DIY tasks and household clearances. A common option for larger projects, refurbishments and construction work is the 8 cubic yard builders skip.

You don’t have to be home when the skip is delivered, however it will help. Being home when your skip is due to be delivered means that you can make sure the driver can be given full access and that your skip is placed exactly where you want it. Similarly, if your skip is delivered to company property, we will appreciate your assistance during delivery, especially if gates will restrict the lorry’s entry.

Even so, when you can’t be available at the time of delivery, don’t worry. We just ask that you tell us when you place your order, and we will arrange things from there.

Nearly all skips can be provided with a drop down door, making them easier to load. However, unfortunately we cannot always guarantee this. If you need a skip with a drop-down door, please tell us when placing your order, and then we can do our very best to accommodate.

Having a skip which has a drop-down door can make it easier to load materials into the container, particularly with weighty materials, such as dirt and rubble, which can be pushed in with a wheelbarrow. It also makes it easier to put in large and bulky objects, such as household furniture.

We offer a national skip hire service through a network of approved and fully licensed local companies. So whether you are interested in skip hire in Ellesmere Port, Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Lymm or another area in Cheshire, we can assist.
