A skip may be used to discard a variety of types of waste. We are experienced in collecting and handling numerous items produced from building jobs, garden landscaping and property clean-ups. Examples of allowed waste types include:

• Furniture
• Hedge trimmings
• Garden soil
• Bricks
• Bathroom toilets and sinks
• Kitchen cabinets and units

Many materials are usually permitted, so whether you want to discard metals, plastic materials, wood or old toys, we can usually take your waste away.

The volume and materials you put into the skip will vary depending on the size skip you ordered. All skips do have a maximum weight limit for safety purposes. So if you would like get rid of soil and hardcore, as an example, the largest size container you would be allowed to hire will be the 8 cubic yard skip.

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

There are several materials you are not permitted to discard in your skip. The reason behind this is that some products include hazardous components which can cause harm to the environment. They can also be dangerous to human health, therefore they have to be discarded separately under UK law.

A few examples of the items that are restricted include:

• Paint tins
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas cylinders
• Computer screens
• Batteries
• Car tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

Whenever your skip is full and ready for collection, we will collect it and take it to a local waste transfer centre, where it will be processed. The rubbish will get sorted into several different waste streams, including stone, soil and paper. This helps to ensure as much of the waste will be recycled as possible. Our company is very proud of our dedication to protecting the environment by sending as little waste to landfill as possible!

Absolutely. We deliver skips to cities, towns and villages across the UK. By utilising a network of approved waste management businesses, we can provide skips to residential and business customers across Ross and Cromarty and anywhere else within the UK.

When you are having a skip delivered to your house, it is usually best to be at home at the time it is delivered. You can then ensure that the lorry has total access and that the skip is located precisely where you want it. The same applies when you have a skip delivered to business premises, especially if gates limit access.

On the other hand, when this isn’t possible, you don’t need to worry. Simply tell us when placing your order, and we will take care of the rest.

You can normally have a skip for up to two weeks from the delivery date. You are able to provide a chosen collection date when you place your order. Otherwise, you can tell us after you have finished, and then we will arrange the collection. In most cases, this will be the following working day, although it can occasionally take a little longer during busy periods.

No. You can only fill up the skip up to the level load line. Piling waste materials up over this line makes it unsafe to move, and you might be told to take off the excess waste before your skip can be picked up. This includes the use of doors, or any other objects to increase the height of the skip. Again, this makes transportation of the skip dangerous and can also make it overweight.

To discover how much it is going to cost to hire a skip in Fortrose, enter your delivery postcode into the search box above. We will immediately display the skip sizes we offer in your area and how much each size will cost to hire. If your skip is going to be on the street or any other council-owned property, a skip permit charge will also need to be factored in.

Nearly all containers can be supplied with a drop door, making them much easier to load. However, we can’t always guarantee this. If you need a skip which has a drop-down door, please let us know when making your order, and we will do our very best to accommodate.

Having a skip that has a drop-down door makes it easier to load waste materials into the bin, especially with weighty materials, like soil and rubble, which can be pushed in with a wheelbarrow. It also makes it easier to throw in big and bulky objects, like furniture.

A roll-on roll-off container, often referred to as a RORO, is a large skip used to get rid of large volumes of rubbish. These skips are primarily for business use but can be used by domestic customers too. Having said that, you should have plenty of space because these skips range between 20 to 40 cubic yards, which is much bigger compared to the typical skip you will see on the roadside.

As a result of the size, these skips should only be provided for light-weight materials such as plastics, timber and cardboard, so they are not appropriate for disposing of concrete and rubble.

No, you can not dispose of old electrical waste items in a skip. This includes things such as printers, hobs, tumble dryers, refrigerators and monitors. Electric objects can’t be thrown in the skip as they can have hazardous materials and components.

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

We utilise a large network of both local and nationwide skip hire companies to deliver skips to our clients in Fortrose and the rest of the UK. Each of our partner companies are approved and tested to make certain they meet our expectations for price, service, recycling rates and reliability.

Preferably, you want to have the skip dropped on to a hard surface. For anybody who is doing a domestic project, then your driveway will be best. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or business premises is the ideal solution. On the other hand, if neither option is available, the road or grass verge may be your only option. As this is public property, you need to have a permit from your local authority. This is called a skip permit, and will be needed for a skip to be located on the street, grass verge as well as other public property in Fortrose. If this is required, we will request the permit to be granted for you. An additional cost, paid to the local council, will be added to the price of your chosen skip size.

When your skip is ordered, we will do our best to deliver it to you on a date that best suits you. We will normally provide a following day delivery service for orders booked prior to 3pm on Monday to Friday. This is subject to having the skip on private property, since to be on public property (like a road), you must obtain a skip permit which may take a couple of days to arrange.

Due to several factors that may impact our service, we can never promise a precise delivery time. However, we will always aim to let you know whether you can expect it turning up in a morning or afternoon slot.

We have created our online booking process with speed and simplicity at its core. The first task is to enter your postcode to view the range of skip sizes we can provide in Fortrose. Pick the best size to meet your requirements and enter the details of where and when you need your skip to be delivered.
