Reliable skip hire in Kirkby.

If you are looking for a low cost skip to get rid of some domestic waste, a mini skip may be just the thing you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 yard capacity (depending on location), the mini skip is a cost-effective waste disposal choice to deal with numerous tasks.

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

Although most frequently chosen by domestic customers, the mini skip can also tackle small commercial jobs.

We can offer a full range of skip sizes to meet your specific needs, from 2 to 40 cubic yards. The smallest skip is the 2 yard mini skip, which is a compact skip perfect for modest DIY tasks and domestic clearances. A common option for more substantial projects, renovations and construction work is the 8 yard skip.

For Kirkby firms with a big volume of bulky waste, we can provide RoRo skips (roll on roll off skips), ranging from 20-40 cubic yards in size.

Before ordering a skip, it is important to check that the type of rubbish you want to get rid of will be allowed to go in the skip. Some objects and materials need to be kept separate and cannot get mixed with general rubbish. This is a legal requirement that aims to help protect the environment.

Examples of waste types you could discard in your skip include home goods like furniture, ceramic tiles, cabinets, garden waste and toys. You may also use your skip to discard building and construction waste, such as timber, dirt, rubble, metals and gravel.

Some examples of forbidden items include things like electrical items, tyres, old paint, chemicals, batteries and plasterboard. They are all considered hazardous waste and subsequently need to be discarded separately from general waste.

The price of hiring a skip in Kirkby is determined by the size of skip you need. The cheapest option available is the 2 yard mini skip, which is suitable for small DIY jobs and general tidyups. If you require a larger sized skip, such as an 8 cubic yard builders skip, it will naturally cost a bit more. The price will also be more if you need to have your skip on the road, as you will require a permit, which the local authority charge a fee for.

A roll-on roll-off skip, often known as a RORO, is a large container that is used to get rid of large amounts of rubbish. These bins are primarily for industrial use but can be used by residential customers also. However, you will want a lot of room as these skips vary from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which are much bigger when compared to the typical skip you will see on a neighbour’s driveway.

As a result of the size, roll-on roll-off skips should only be hired for lightweight materials like plastics, timber and cardboard, so they are not appropriate for getting rid of soil and rubble.

When your skip is full and prepared for collection, it will be transported to a local waste transfer station to be processed. The rubbish will be separated into the different waste materials, including wood, cardboard, plastics, etc. This means that as much of the rubbish as possible will be recycled, which is much better for the environment.

Ideally, you want to have the skip dropped on a hard surface. For anyone who is carrying out a household project, then a driveway is going to be best. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the way to go. However, when neither option is available, the road or grass verge might be your only choice. As this is public property, you have got to obtain a permit from your local council. This is known as a skip permit, and will be necessary for a skip to be located on a street, grass verge as well as other public property in Kirkby. If this is required, we will arrange for the license to be issued on your behalf. An additional cost, paid to the local council, will be added to the cost of your skip.

The phrase builder’s skip can relate to two different sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 yd skip. The term originates from the fact that they are the most common sizes used by builders and tradespeople.

These substantial containers are ideal for an array of household and commercial tasks. These are the largest size skips that can be used for heavy builders waste like top soil, stone and gravel.

You don’t need to be at home when your skip is delivered, however it will help. Being there whenever the skip is delivered means that you can make sure the lorry can be given full access and that the skip can be dropped precisely where you need it. Likewise, if your skip is being hired to your business premises, we will appreciate your help during delivery, especially if gates will restrict the lorry’s access.

Having said that, in the event you can’t be available at the time of delivery, don’t worry. We just ask that you tell us when you place your order, and then we will organise things from there.

Electronic products including television sets, freezers, refrigerators, computers, monitors and vacuum cleaners are classed as a hazardous waste stream and therefore should not be put in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 dictates that electrical goods must be segregated from other rubbish. This helps ensure that they can be reused, recycled and disposed of within the safest and most eco friendly manner.

You can normally keep a skip for up to a fortnight from the day that it is delivered to you. To ensure the collection is as convenient as possible, there is the option of giving a preferred collection date when you make your order.

Otherwise, just tell us when you have finished with your skip, and we will arrange to collect sooner – in the majority of circumstances, it will be the following working day.

It could take a bit longer to collect your skip during busy times, however we will always try to come as swiftly as possible.

Getting a skip that has a drop door makes filling rubbish into the skip much easier. This is especially true with heavy materials like soil and concrete, which can then be walked into the skip with a wheelbarrow. It can also make disposing of large bulky objects like furniture easier too.

The majority of skips can be supplied with a drop door, however this will sometimes depend on area and availability. Let us know when you place your booking if a door is needed, and we will do our absolute best to supply this.

It is very important to not overfill your skip, as you risk being asked to take off excessive waste before it can be picked up. Regardless of what size you order, you are only permitted to load them to a level load. This is a safety requirement, since transporting an overloaded container can be hazardous, as materials could drop and lead to personal injury or damage to other people.

To prevent this problem, please ensure you hire a size appropriate for your waste disposal needs. If the skip is full and you have further rubbish to dispose of, we are happy to arrange an exchange.
