Highworth Skip Hire FAQs

Do I need to be at home whenever the skip will be delivered?

If you are having a skip delivered to your property, it is best to be there at the time it is delivered. Then you can ensure the skip lorry has total access and that the skip can be situated exactly where you need it. The same is true if you have a skip delivered to business premises, especially if gates restrict access.

Having said that, if this is not possible, you do not have to be concerned. Simply let us know when you are placing your booking, and we will handle everything.

How long can I hire a skip for?

The price of hiring a skip will usually have a hire period of up to a fortnight. In most cases, that will provide you with sufficient time to fill up your skip. However, if you do need a little more time, let us know, and we will see what we can do.

Obviously, if you finish with your skip sooner, we are happy to arrange your pick up. Just contact us when you have finished, and then we will prepare to send out one of our lorry drivers to pick up the skip as quickly as possible.

Will my skip be supplied with a drop door?

When you are selecting a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will come with a drop door. This is ideal for disposing of heavy building and construction waste materials, as it can be walked in the skip using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 cubic yarders also include a drop-down door, however these are less common. The reason being these sizes are generally low enough on the ends so that you can tip a wheelbarrow of waste materials into them.

If you need a drop door for your job, tell us when ordering. We will do our very best to make sure a skip with a drop door is delivered.

What size is a mini skip?

The mini skip is the most compact skip available from skip companies and is good for small DIY tasks, shed clearances and general tidy-ups. For most companies, the mini skip is a 2 yard skip, which can contain the equivalent of around 25 black bags worth of waste.

Rather than a 2 yard skip, some skip firms offer a 3 yard as their smallest container. They will likely refer to this as a mini skip, which can be slightly confusing. But rest assured, the cost of hiring the skip is based on the actual size of the skip you order, so whether it is labelled as being a mini skip or not will not make any difference.

Will a Highworth skip hire company deliver my skip?

We employ a network of both local and nationwide providers to enable us to offer our service to businesses and households across the whole of the UK.

What is the size of a builder’s skip?

The builder’s skip is regarded as the frequent skip which is used throughout the UK. Coming in either a 6 or 8 yard capacity, a builder’s skip is fantastic for most building and construction work, which is where the label originates from.

The 8 yard builder’s skip will be the biggest option which can be used for heavy materials including garden soil, concrete, stone and rubble.

Am I able to throw away electrical products in the skip?

No, you cannot put old electrical waste products in a skip. This can include things such as computers, hobs, dishwashers, freezers and monitors. These objects can’t be discarded in your skip as they can contain hazardous materials and components.

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

What types of waste am I allowed to dispose of in a skip?

This is one of the most popular questions people have about hiring a skip. The main thing to keep in mind is that you may fill your skip with a wide variety of different materials. After all, there are lots of kinds of rubbish that may come from garden projects, construction work and home clearances.

Among the most frequent items that we pick up in our skips include soil, wood, tree cuttings, kitchen units, toilets, as well as other household items.

There are some materials that you are not allowed to discard in the skip. This consists of any electronic objects (fridge freezers, televisions and cookers for example), old tyres, sheets of asbestos, plasterboard and paint. They are all deemed hazardous waste materials, and therefore disposing of them has to follow an entirely different process to make sure they don’t cause damage to the environment.

How long will it take to get a skip in Highworth?

Once your skip is ordered, we will do our best to deliver it to you on a date that suits you. We can usually provide a following day delivery service for orders booked prior to 3pm on Monday to Friday. This is subject to having the skip placed on private property, since to go on public property (such as a street), you will have to get a skip permit which will take a couple of days to organise.

Due to many factors that can impact our service, we can never promise an exact delivery time. However, we will always aim to tell you whether you can expect it arriving within a morning or afternoon slot.

What is a roll-on roll-off container?

The roll-on roll-off skip, often known as a RORO, is a substantial container used to get rid of large volumes of waste. These bins are primarily for industrial use but can be hired by residential clients also. Having said that, you need a lot of space since these skips vary from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which are much larger than the average skip you will see on a neighbour’s driveway.

Due to the size, roro containers should only be hired for light-weight materials like plastics, timber and paper, and so they are not suited to disposing of soil and bricks.

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

Ideally, you want to have the skip left on a hard surface. For anybody who is doing a domestic project, then a drive is going to be best. When it is a commercial job, then a car park or business premises is the way to go. Having said that, if neither option is available, the road or grass verge may be your only option. As this is public land, you will have to obtain a permit from the local authority. This is called a skip permit, and will be needed for a skip to be located on a road, grass verge as well as other public property in Highworth. If this is needed, we will request the license to be issued for you. An extra fee, paid to the local council, will be added to the cost of your skip.

How do you order a skip online?

This is the easy part. First, choose the size of skip you would like to hire.

Confirm your order details and make payment with our secure online payment system. All done! We will deliver your skip to Highworth on the date you have chosen.

Do you deliver to other areas in Wiltshire?

Certainly. We deliver skips to cities, towns and villages across the UK. By utilising a network of verified waste management companies, we are able to offer skips to both domestic and industrial customers throughout Wiltshire and anywhere else in the UK.

Can I fill up my skip higher than the top?

It is important to never overfill a skip. You must not pass the level load line indicated on the side of the skip. If your skip is overfilled, it can be very unsafe to transport. This means that when you overload the skip, you might be required to take off the surplus waste. Regardless of how secure you believe the skip is, it cannot be collected if overloaded. This includes using old doors or other large flat pieces to build up around the rubbish. This is hazardous and is not allowed.

Where do you take the rubbish from my skip?

The contents of the skip will be taken to a local waste transfer facility. Here the rubbish will be separated by machinery and by hand into numerous waste streams, including metal, plastics, concrete and wood. Processing the waste in this manner helps to increase the amount which can be reused and recycled. Our aim and motivation is to maximise the amount of waste that is recycled and minimise the volume of waste that ends up in landfill.

Other areas covered include Devizes, Corsham, Royal Wootton Bassett, Tidworth, Chippenham, Marlborough, Calne and Ludgershall.
