Reliable skip hire in Hamilton.

Normally, it will be possible to have a skip positioned on the street, pavement or grass verge outside of your home or business. But to do this, you have got to have consent from your local council in Hamilton, which is called a skip permit. We are able to arrange this for you, so you don’t have to worry. The local authority will charge a fee for your license, and it may sometimes take 24-48 hours for them to approve this.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) containers are substantial commercial scale skips used primarily within the commercial sector. They are available in 20-40 cubic yards, which makes them great for organisations that generate significant amounts of waste materials.

Our goal is to give you the most affordable skip hire service in Hamilton. The price you pay will, naturally, depend on the size of skip you order. This varies from the mini skip, which is the cheapest option, all the way up to the 40 cubic yard RORO container. If you wish to have a skip placed on the highway or other local authority property, you will also need to factor in the additional expense of a skip permit.

No, you must only load your skip up to the level load mark. Stacking waste up over this line will make it dangerous to move, and you might be asked to get rid of the surplus waste before the skip can be removed. This includes using doors, sheets of wood or other materials to raise the skip height. Again, this will make transportation of the skip hazardous and can also make it overweight.

We utilise a network of both regional and national skip hire businesses to supply skips to our customers in Hamilton and the rest of the country. Every one of our partner companies are approved and evaluated to guarantee they satisfy our standards for cost, service, recycling and reliability.

When you have finished with your skip, we come and pick it up. It will be transported to a waste transfer centre in or local to Hamilton where we will segregate the rubbish into its composite types (timber, metal, rubble, etc.). By separating the waste from your skip, we can reuse and recycle as much of it as is possible.

You can use a skip to dispose of a variety of waste types. We are used to collecting and processing a multitude of items produced from building work, garden landscaping and house tidy-ups. Some examples of allowed waste materials include:

• Home furnishings
• Tree cuttings
• Top soil
• Stone
• Bathroom suites
• Kitchen cabinets and units

Many materials are generally permitted, therefore whether you want to dispose of metals, plastic materials, wood or old toys, we can usually take your waste away.

The quantity and waste types you throw into your skip will vary based on which size skip you have ordered. All skips have a weight limit for safety purposes. So if you would like get rid of top soil and concrete, as an example, the largest size you would be able to hire would be the 8 cubic yard skip.

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

There are several waste items that you are not allowed to get rid of in your skip. The main reason for this is that some items include hazardous materials that may be harmful to the environment. They can even be hazardous to human health, and so they have to be disposed of separately within UK legislation.

A few examples of the products which are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas canisters
• Computer screens
• Batteries
• Tyres
• Chemical substances
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

This is particularly true with heavy waste materials like soil and hardcore, which can then be walked straight into the skip with a wheelbarrow. It will also make loading up large bulky items like furniture easier also.
