The term builder’s skip can refer to two different sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 cubic yard skip. The name originates from the fact that these are the most frequent sizes that are hired by general builders and tradespeople.

These substantial containers are suitable for numerous domestic and business jobs. They are the biggest skip sizes which can be used for hefty builders waste such as dirt, stone and bricks.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) containers are big industrial scale skips that are used primarily in the commercial sector. These come in 20-40 cubic yards, making them excellent for companies that generate large quantities of waste materials.

It is vital to not overfill a skip. You must not pass the level load line that is shown on the side of the skip. If the skip is overloaded, it becomes very unsafe to move. Which means that when you overload the skip, you may be required to remove the surplus rubbish. No matter how secure you think the skip is, it can not be collected if overloaded. This includes using doors or other large flat pieces to build up around the rubbish. This can be dangerous and is prohibited.

Ideally, you want to have the skip dropped on to a hard surface area. For anyone who is carrying out a domestic job, then a drive is going to be perfect. When it is a commercial job, then a car park or business premises is the ideal solution. On the other hand, when neither option is available, the street or grass verge might be your only option. As this is public property, you will have to obtain a permit from your local council. This is called a skip permit, and will be necessary for a skip to be positioned on the street, grass verge as well as other public property in Harwich. If this is required, we will arrange for the permit to be granted for you. An additional charge, paid to the local council, will be added to the cost of your skip.

Using a skip that has a drop down door makes loading waste into it so much easier. This is especially true with hefty materials such as garden soil or stone, which can then be walked into the skip using a wheelbarrow. It may also make disposing of large bulky items such as pieces of furniture much easier as well.

Most skip containers can be provided with a drop down door, however this may sometimes depend upon area and availability. Let us know when you place your online order if a door is needed, and we will do our very best to supply this.

As we offer a nationwide skip hire service, we use a comprehensive network of verified and approved businesses. These vary from small local skip hire businesses to nationwide waste management service providers. Our service providers are vetted to ensure they satisfy our high customer service and environmental requirements.

Once you have finished with your skip, we will come and pick it up. It will be taken to a waste recycling station in or local to Harwich where we sort the waste into its composite types (timber, metal, rubble, etc.). By separating the waste materials, we can recycle as much of it as possible.

No, you do not need to be at home when we deliver the skip. So long as we are able to access where you need it positioned, we can take care of it all.

In case you are not likely to be at home, just let us have any relevant delivery instructions when placing the order. For example, you may want the skip to be located on a particular part of the driveway. Or you may want to be sure that the skip doesn’t block entry to your garage.

Whatever the situation may be, simply tell us when ordering, and we will ensure your instructions will be passed to the lorry driver.

When it comes to hiring a skip in Harwich, you will have various options to select from, ranging from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 cubic yard skip, sometimes called the mini skip, will be the smallest choice available. This compact skip is great for modest home clearances and DIY work.

Our next available size is the 4 yard midi skip, which can contain the equivalent of approximately 35-40 bin bags of waste.

After the midi are the builder’s skips, that are available in either 6 or 8 cubic yards. These represent the most popular sizes hired, as building contractors and tradespeople frequently use them. However their big capacity also makes them suitable for household clearances including bulky items such as pieces of furniture and beds.

We will offer 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard skips for anyone with even bigger rubbish disposal requirements. These containers are only suitable for lightweight materials, so they can’t be used to get rid of garden soil or concrete.

When your skip is ordered, we will try our best to deliver it to you on a date that suits you. We will usually offer you a following day delivery service for orders made before 3pm on Monday to Friday. This is subject to having your skip placed on private property, since to go on public property (such as a highway), you need to gain a skip permit which will take a couple of days to arrange.

As a result of numerous factors that could impact our service, we can never promise a precise delivery time. Having said that, we will always aim to inform you whether you can expect it to be delivered within a morning or afternoon slot.

Prior to ordering a skip, it is important to ensure that the sort of waste you intend to discard is actually allowed to go in the skip. Some objects and materials must be kept separate and are not allowed to be mixed with general waste. This is a legal requirement that aims to help protect the environment.

A few examples of waste types you could put in your skip include home goods like pieces of furniture, floor tiles, cabinets, garden waste and clothing. You may also use a skip to throw out building and demolition rubbish, such as wood, dirt, rubble, metals and concrete.

Some examples of forbidden items include electrical products, tyres, paint, chemical substances, batteries and asbestos. These are all classed as hazardous waste and therefore have to be disposed of separately from your general rubbish.

This depends on the skip size you will need and if you require a council permit. As you would expect, the smallest skip (the 2 yard mini skip) will be the least expensive option. The most expensive and biggest option is the 40 cubic yard RORO container, which is used mainly in business settings.

If you are searching for a cheap skip to get rid of some domestic waste, the mini skip could be just the thing you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 yard capacity (based on area), the mini skip is a cost-effective rubbish disposal option to take on many jobs.

The mini skip can fit on the smallest of driveways but can also be located on the side of the street, subject to getting a skip permit.

Although most commonly hired by residential customers, the mini skip can also tackle small commercial jobs.

You can in most cases keep the skip for as many as 2 weeks from your delivery date. It is possible to provide a preferred collection day when you place your order. Otherwise, you can tell us once you have finished, and then we will arrange the collection. In most cases, this will be the next working day, although it can occasionally take a bit longer over busy times.

As a result of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electric products have to be kept separate from general waste to get recycled or disposed of safely. This includes all electric products including cookers, monitors, toasters, laptops and even hairdryers.
