What is the size of a builder’s skip?

The term builder’s skip can mean two sizes – the 6 yard and 8 yd skip. The label originates from the fact that these are the most frequent sizes that are hired by builders and tradespeople.

These big skips are fantastic for a multitude of residential and industrial jobs. They are the largest skips that can be used for weighty builders waste like dirt, rubble and bricks.

Can I throw all kinds of waste in my skip?

It is possible to fill your skip with a variety of different waste types that are commonly generated from house clearances, building work, garden landscaping and lots of other jobs. This could include wood, dirt, stone, hedge trimmings, household furniture, clothing, kitchen cabinets or outdated bathroom fittings.

What you throw in your skip would depend on which size you have hired, because there is a maximum weight limit. For example, in the event that you will be using your skip for heavy building waste like stone or top soil, the maximum size you can get is an 8 cubic yard.

Some materials should not be discarded in a skip. This includes refrigerators, computer monitors, tyres, asbestos, paint, plasterboard and chemicals. These materials are classed as hazardous waste and must be disposed of separately.

Can I throw electronic products in the skip?

Electrical objects such as tv sets, freezers, refrigerators, computers, monitors and vacuum cleaners are classed as a hazardous waste type and so can not be put in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 dictates that electric powered products need to be segregated from other waste. This ensures that they can be reused, recycled and disposed of in the safest and most environmentally friendly way.

Should I be in when the skip is going to be delivered?

In the event you are not likely to be in, simply provide us with any relevant delivery directions when booking your order. For example, you might prefer the skip to be located on a particular area of the driveway. Alternatively, you may need to make sure the skip does not block use of your garage.

How much waste can you fit in a mini skip?

The mini skip is the most compact size available and can describe either the 2 or 3 cubic yard skip. These small containers are fantastic for small DIY jobs and domestic clearances. Their small footprint makes them ideal for driveways.

They can be used to get rid of all types of waste materials, from household furnishings and old baby toys to paving blocks and garden soil. With a capacity of around 25-30 bin bags of waste, the mini skip could save you having to make numerous journeys to your local recycling centre.

What size skips have a door?

For anybody who is ordering a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will come with a drop-down door. This is perfect for disposing of hefty building and construction materials, as it can be walked in the skip using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 cubic yarders also come with a drop-down door, although they are more uncommon. Simply because these sizes are typically small enough on the ends so that you can tip a wheelbarrow of waste into them.

If you want a drop door for your job, please tell us when placing your order. We will do our best to ensure a container with a drop door is provided.

How long can I keep a skip for?

The price of hiring a skip will usually include a hire period of up to 2 weeks. In most cases, that gives you sufficient time to fill the skip. However, if you do need a little more time, let us know, and we will see what we can do.

Naturally, if you finish with the skip sooner, our company is happy to arrange your pick up. Just tell us when you have finished, and we will arrange to send out one of our drivers to pick up the skip as quickly as possible.

What happens to the rubbish in the skip?

Once your skip is full and ready for collection, we will pick it up and transport it to a nearby waste transfer centre, where it will be processed. The waste will get sorted into a variety of waste types, such as stone, soil and paper. This helps to ensure that as much of the rubbish can be recycled as possible. We are proud of our dedication to environmental protection by sending as little waste to landfill as possible!

How long does it take to get a skip in Hexham?

Once your skip is ordered, we will do our best to deliver it to you on a day that suits you. We will normally give you a following day delivery service for orders arranged prior to 3pm on Monday to Friday. This is subject to having your skip on private property, as to go on public property (such as a street), you will need to get a skip permit which can take a couple of days to arrange.

As a result of several factors that could impact our service, we can never guarantee an exact delivery time. However, we will always aim to inform you whether you can anticipate it to be delivered within a morning or afternoon slot.

Can I have a skip delivered on the road in Hexham?

In the vast majority of situations, your skip can be delivered onto your driveway, the highway, path or grass verge and deliveries can be made to your home or workplace. If you would like the skip to be placed on land outside of your company or house, you will need to obtain authorisation from your local council in Hexham, which is referred to as a permit. If necessary, we would gladly arrange this on your behalf, so it’s one less issue to worry about. The council does charge a fee for the skip permit, and you should be aware before booking that securing the licence can sometimes take up to two working days.

Am I allowed to fill the skip higher than the level load mark?

This means that when you overload the skip, you could be required to take off the excess rubbish. No matter how safe you think the skip is, it can not be picked up if overloaded. This includes making use of doors or other large flat materials to build up around the rubbish. This can be hazardous and is prohibited.
