Reliable skip hire in Gillingham.

You don’t really need to be at your property when your skip will be delivered, however it does help. Being in when your skip arrives means that you can ensure the lorry driver is given full access and that the skip can be positioned exactly where you need it. Similarly, if your skip is delivered to your company property, we will appreciate your support at the time of delivery, especially if gates restrict the lorry’s entry.

Even so, in the event you can’t be available during the time of delivery, there is no need to worry. We just ask that you let us know when you place the order, and we will organise things from there.

Once your skip is full and ready for collection, it will be transported to a local waste transfer station to be processed. The rubbish will be sorted into the different waste streams, like wood, cardboard, paper, etc. This helps to ensure that as much of the waste as possible will be recycled, which is much better for the environment.

When you place your order prior to 3pm Monday to Friday, we can normally have your skip delivered the very next day. In some instances, we will even provide a same-day delivery option. Availability and delivery days will be confirmed when going through the order process.

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

Having a skip which has a drop-down door makes it easier to load rubbish into the skip, especially with weighty materials, such as soil and gravel, which can be pushed in using a wheelbarrow. This also makes it easier to throw in big and bulky items, such as pieces of furniture.

The cost of hiring a skip in Gillingham depends on the size of skip you require. The cheapest skip available will be the 2 cubic yard mini skip, which is perfect for small DIY projects and general clearances. If you want a larger skip, such as an 8 yd builders skip, it will naturally cost more. The cost will also be more if you need to have your skip positioned on the road, as you will require a permit, which the local authority charge a fee for.

If you have a small quantity of rubbish to throw out, a mini skip might be the ideal solution. What size is known as a mini skip differs from company to company, dependant upon what sizes they supply.

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. Cost is based on the particular size you hire, rather than the phrase “mini skip”.

Mini skips are great for domestic work including small DIY projects and garden clean ups. If you need it placed on your driveway and need space to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a great choice.

Generally, you can keep a skip for a maximum of 14 days. Which means you don’t have to rush through your project. Once you have finished your project or the skip is loaded ahead of the 14-day mark, we will gladly come and collect the skip earlier. Just give us a call or get in touch on our website, and we will be out to collect it as soon as possible.

It is important never to overload your skip, as you risk being told to take off surplus waste before it can be picked up. Regardless of the size you hire, you are only allowed to load them to a level load. This is a safety condition, since transporting an overloaded bin is hazardous, as materials could drop and result in injuries or damage to others.

To avoid this problem, please be sure to order a skip size appropriate for your waste disposal requirements. If the skip is full and you have extra waste to dispose of, we are pleased to organise an exchange.

Of course, we can offer a nationwide skip hire and waste management service. We can provide skips to areas throughout Dorset, including Gillingham, Christchurch, Dorchester and Stalbridge. So regardless of where you need a skip to get delivered, we have got it covered.

A RORO (roll-on roll-off) is a large container used to dispose of significant quantities of waste. Predominantly, these type of skips are hired for business uses. However, household clients may also use them. You have to look at the space they will take up, because they measure between 20 and 40 cubic yards. For this reason, they must only be hired for light materials including plastics, timber and cardboard, and are not suitable for the removal of dirt and concrete.

We offer a wide selection of skip sizes to match your specific requirements, from 2 to 40 cubic yards. Our smallest available skip is the 2 yard mini skip, a compact skip great for modest DIY projects and house clearances. A popular choice for larger sized tasks, renovations and construction work is the 8 cubic yard skip.

For Gillingham firms with a large volume of bulky waste, we can supply RoRo containers (roll on roll off skips), between 20-40 cubic yards in size.

The builders skip can refer to either the 6 or 8 yard skip. They are the largest skips used to get rid of substantial building waste materials such as rock, bricks, rubble or garden soil.

The builders skip is great for a variety of projects. Whether you are getting an extension built, renovating your kitchen or clearing out the attic, these large skips are often the most affordable solution available.

This is the easy part. First, choose the size of skip you want to hire. Tell us whether the skip is going to be going on private property (a driveway, for example) or public property (like the street). Next, pick the day you would like the skip to get delivered. Check your order and make payment using our secure online payment system. That is it! We will deliver your skip to Gillingham on the day you have selected.

You are allowed to throw a variety of waste into your skip. This includes wood, tile, metal or bricks from a property clearance. Shrub and bush cuttings, dirt and rock from garden jobs are permitted too. Cupboards and worktops from your kitchen and old bathroom fittings can also be thrown in the skip.

However, there are some materials that you are not allowed to put in a skip due to the possible environmental or health risks they may cause.

You cannot throw in your refrigerator, television or your old car tyres. Asbestos, paint or chemical waste is also not allowed in the skip. Each of these things include hazardous elements in one kind or another. They must be disposed of separately from normal waste.

Should you need hazardous waste disposal, we may be able to organise a separate collection for this material. Please get in touch for more information. Alternatively, if you are a household customer, you might be able to take this kind of waste to your local council managed recycling centre.

In the majority of situations, your skip can be delivered onto your drive, the highway, pathway or grass verge and deliveries can be made to your home or workplace. If you need your skip to be placed on land outside of your company or home, you will have to secure permission from your local authority in Gillingham, which is called a skip permit. If necessary, we will be happy to arrange this on your behalf, and so it’s one less thing to worry about. The local authority does charge a fee for your permit, and you should know before booking that obtaining the licence can often take up to 2 working days.

Electronic items including tv sets, freezers, refrigerators, computers, monitors and hoovers are all classed as a hazardous waste stream and therefore cannot be placed in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 dictates that electric products need to be segregated from other waste. This ensures that they can be reused, recycled and disposed of within the safest and most environmentally friendly way.
