Reliable skip hire in Forest Hill.

This is the easy part. First, choose the skip size you want to hire. Tell us if the skip shall be going on private property (a driveway, for example) or on public property (like the road). Next, pick the date you want the skip to be delivered. Confirm your order details and make payment with our secure online payment system. All done! We will deliver your skip to Forest Hill on the date you have selected.

Virtually all skips can be delivered with a drop down door, which makes them much easier to load. However, we can’t always guarantee this. If you require a skip with a drop-down door, please tell us when making your order, and we will do our very best to accommodate.

Having a skip which has a drop-down door can make it easier to load rubbish into the skip, especially with weighty materials, such as dirt and concrete, which can be walked in using a wheelbarrow. This also makes it easier to put in large and bulky items, such as household furniture.

Your skip can be hired to get rid of many different types of waste materials. We are used to collecting and processing lots of items produced from construction jobs, garden landscaping and property clean-ups. Examples of allowed waste types include things like:

• Household furniture
• Garden trimmings
• Garden soil
• Bricks and rubble
• Bathroom sinks and toilets
• Cabinets and units

Many materials are permitted, therefore whether you would like to throw out metals, plastics, timber or unwanted toys, we can usually take your rubbish away.

The quantity and things you throw into your skip may vary depending on the size skip you chosen. All skips do have a maximum weight limit for safety purposes. So if you wish to dispose of soil and gravel, as an example, the biggest size container you will be allowed to hire is the 8 yard builders skip.

What kind of materials am I not allowed to put in the skip?

There are a few materials that you are not allowed to throw out in your skip. The main reason for this is that these goods include hazardous elements which can harm the environment. They can even be hazardous to human health, and so they need to be disposed of separately within UK legislation.

Some examples of the products that are restricted include:

• Paint tins
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas cylinders
• PC monitors
• Battery packs
• Car tyres
• Chemical substances
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

We will ask you to confirm when you need the skip to be delivered during the online order process, and we’ll make sure that it’s with you on the day that you have asked for. The majority of our deliveries are made between Monday and Saturday.

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

Although we cannot guarantee what time we will arrive with your skip, we strive to provide you with an AM or PM delivery slot to manage your day more conveniently.

All we request is that you ensure the delivery driver can access your required delivery location, as failed delivery attempts can result in a fee for a wasted trip.

When you have a small amount of waste to dispose of, the mini skip could be the perfect solution. What size is identified as a mini skip differs from business to business, dependant upon what sizes they provide.

The most popular size for the mini skip is 2 cubic yards. However, some firms choose to provide a 3 yard skip for their smallest option. The cost is dependent on the particular size you hire, rather than the phrase “mini skip”.

Mini skips are perfect for household work including small DIY projects and garden tidy ups. If you would like it placed on your driveway and want room to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a good choice.

No, you cannot throw old or unwanted electronic waste items in your skip. This includes items like computers, hobs, washing machines, freezers and televisions. Electronic items can’t be discarded in a skip since they can include dangerous materials and components.

As a result of the 2003 WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electrical products cannot be sent to landfill and should be recycled.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) bins are substantial commercial size skips that are used primarily within the commercial sector. They are available in 20-40 cubic yards, which makes them excellent for businesses that produce significant quantities of waste.

It is important never to overfill your skip, as you risk being asked to take off excessive waste before it can be collected. No matter what size you hire, you are only allowed to fill them to a level load. This is a safety requirement, as transporting an overloaded container can be dangerous, as objects could fall and lead to injury or damage to other people.

To prevent this situation, please ensure you hire a size suited to your waste removal needs. If your skip is full but you have some extra rubbish to get rid of, we are pleased to organise an exchange.

It is usually best if you can be there when anyone delivers something to your home. You can then make sure there is sufficient access for the delivery, plus the skip can be located exactly where you want it.

The same goes if you have a company. When there is a gate or security, it might not be possible to have a skip delivered when you are not there.

Nonetheless, if it is unavoidable and gaining access is not a problem, you do not have to be there when the skip is being delivered.

Each of our service providers are vetted to guarantee they satisfy our high customer service and environmental requirements.

Usually, it will be possible to get a skip located on the street, pavement or grass verge outside of your property or company. But in order to do this, you will need to get permission from the local council in Forest Hill, which is known as a skip permit. We are able to arrange this on your behalf, so you don’t need to worry. The council do impose a fee for the permit, and it may sometimes take 24-2 days for them to approve this.

To find out how much it will cost to hire a skip in Forest Hill, insert your delivery postcode into the search box above. We will immediately show you which sizes we provide in your location and how much each option will cost you to hire. If your skip is going on the highway or other council-owned property, a skip permit fee will also need to be factored in.

When your skip is full and prepared for collection, it will be taken to a local waste transfer station to be processed. The rubbish will be sorted into different waste streams, such as wood, metals, paper, etc. This ensures that as much of the rubbish as possible can be recycled, which is much better for the environment.

The term builders skip can mean two sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 yard skip. The term comes from the fact that these are the most typical sizes hired by general builders and tradespeople.

These substantial skips are perfect for numerous types of residential and industrial jobs. They are the biggest sizes which you can use for heavy builders waste like top soil, rubble and gravel.
