Reliable skip hire in Ilkley.

For those who have a small quantity of rubbish to dispose of, a mini skip could be the ideal option. What size is described as a mini skip differs from business to business, determined by what sizes they offer.

2 cubic yards is the most common size for the mini skip. However, some firms opt to provide a 3 yard skip as their smallest option. Price is dependent on the actual size you order, rather than the term “mini skip”.

Mini skips are good for residential tasks such as small DIY projects and shed clean ups. If you would like it placed on your driveway and require room to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a good choice.

Ordering a skip in Ilkley through us is very straightforward. Choose the skip size you will need and then enter a few details about where and when you would like your skip to be delivered. Then you can pay for your skip using our secure online payment platform. We will send you a confirmation email and arrange to have your skip delivered to you.

Usually, you can keep a skip for a maximum of two week. Which means you don’t need to hurry through your project. If you have completed your project or the skip is loaded prior to the 14-day mark, we will gladly come and get 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.

We will make sure your skip is delivered when requested, which in most cases is going to be Monday to Saturday. If you order prior to 3pm Monday to Friday, we can usually deliver your chosen skip the following day.

Although we are not able to guarantee an exact delivery time, we will do our very best to come within either an AM or PM slot of your choosing.

You will need to make sure the skip lorry can access the delivery area, as a unsuccessful delivery attempt will usually incur a charge for the wasted journey.

If your skip is full and ready for collection, we will collect it and take it to a nearby waste transfer centre, where it will be processed. The rubbish will get separated into several different waste streams, which includes stone, soil and paper. This helps to ensure as much of the rubbish can be recycled as possible. Our company is proud of our commitment to the environment by sending as little to landfill as possible!

We can provide a wide range of skip sizes to meet your specific needs, from 2 to 40 cubic yards.

A popular option for larger tasks, refurbishments and building work is the 8 cubic yard skip.

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

The builder’s skip is regarded as the popular skip ordered across the country. Available in either a 6 or 8 cubic yard capacity, a builder’s skip is ideal for most building and construction jobs, which is where the name comes from.

The 8 cubic yard builder’s skip will be the biggest size which can be used for heavy waste matter such as dirt, concrete, rock and rubble.

No, you can not throw old electronic waste products in a skip. This can include things such as computers, cookers, dishwashers, freezers and televisions. Electric objects can’t be thrown in your skip since they can contain hazardous materials and components.

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

As well as delivering skips and containers to Ilkley, we can also deliver to other towns and villages across West Yorkshire.

The cost of getting a skip in Ilkley will depend on the size of skip you want. The lowest priced skip available will be the 2 cubic yard mini skip, which is suited to small DIY jobs and clearances. If you want a larger skip, such as an 8 cubic yard builders skip, it will naturally cost more. The cost will also be more if you need to have the skip positioned on the road, as you will need a skip permit, which the local authority charge a fee for.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) skips are substantial industrial scale skips used mainly in the commercial sector. These come in 20-40 cubic yards, making them excellent for businesses that generate significant amounts of waste.

If you are selecting a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will come with a drop door. This is made for getting rid of heavy building and construction materials, as it can be walked in to the skip using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 cubic yarders also come with a drop door, though they are more uncommon. This is because these sizes are generally small enough on the ends for you to tip a wheelbarrow of waste materials into them.

If you need a drop door for your job, let us know when placing your order. We will do our utmost to make sure a container with a drop door is provided.

Ideally, you should have the skip left on to a hard surface. For anybody who is carrying out a residential task, then your drive will be perfect. When it is a commercial job, then a car park or business premises is the way to go. However, when neither option is available, the street or grass verge could be your only option. As this is public land, you have got to obtain a permit from the local authority. This is called a skip permit, and will be required for a skip to be located on a road, grass verge or other public property in Ilkley. If this is required, we will request the permit to be issued for you. An additional fee, paid to the local authority, will be added to the price of your skip.

You are able to throw a variety of waste types into your skip. This can include wood, bathroom tiles, plastics or rubble from a household clearance. Plant and bush cuttings, dirt and stone from garden jobs are allowed also. Worktops from your kitchen and old bathroom fixtures may also go in a skip.

However, there are some materials that you are not allowed to put in a skip due to the potential environment or health risk they might trigger.

You can’t throw out your fridge freezer, computer or car tyres. Asbestos, paint or chemical waste is also prohibited in the skip. All of these items consist of hazardous elements in one form or another. They should be discarded separately from your normal waste.

If you want hazardous waste disposal, we may be able to schedule an independent service for this waste. Feel free to email us for further details. Alternatively, if you are a domestic customer, you may be able to take this kind of waste to your local council run recycling facility.

It is usually best if you can be there when anybody delivers something to your property. That enables you to make sure there is access for your delivery, plus the skip can be located just where you want it.

The same thing goes for those who have a business. If you have a gate or security, it might not be possible to have a skip delivered if you are not there.

Nonetheless, if it is unavoidable and access is not an issue, you do not need to be there when the skip is being delivered.

It is essential never to overfill a skip. You must not pass the level load line indicated along the side of the skip. If your skip is overfilled, it can be very dangerous to move. This means that if you overfill your 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 using old doors or other large flat materials to build up around the rubbish. This is hazardous and is not allowed.
