Reliable skip hire in Leighton Buzzard.

You don’t need to be home when the skip is delivered, but it does help. Being in when your skip is delivered means that you can ensure the lorry driver can be given complete access and that your skip will be located exactly where you want it. Likewise, if your skip is being hired to your company premises, we will appreciate your help during delivery, especially if gates restrict the lorry’s entry.

Even so, in the event you can’t be around for delivery, don’t worry. We simply ask that you let us know when you place your order, and we will organise things from there.

Once your skip is ordered, we will try our very best to deliver it to you on a day that suits you. We will typically provide a next day delivery service for orders made before 3pm on Monday to Friday. This will be subject to having your skip placed on private property, because to be on public property (such as a road), you need to gain a skip permit which may take a couple of days to arrange.

As a result of numerous factors that may impact our service, we can never guarantee an exact delivery time. Having said that, we will always aim to inform you whether you can anticipate it arriving within a morning or afternoon slot.

To discover how much it is going to cost to hire a skip in Leighton Buzzard, insert your delivery postcode into the search box above. We will immediately show you which skip sizes we offer in your town and how much each size will cost to hire. If your skip will be on the road or any other council-owned property, a skip permit fee will also need to be factored in.

You should not fill a skip beyond the level load mark. When you fill it above the tip of this level, it means your skip will not be safe to move, and you can be asked to remove any excess waste before it can be picked up.

Skips are available in a number of different sizes to match various waste disposal needs. Each container is measured by volume, usually in cubic yards. The smallest of these sizes is the 2 cubic yard skip, also known as the mini skip. It will hold approximately 25 bags of waste, which is perfect for small residential projects.

Next up is the 4 yard skip, which can be used to hold roughly 35 bags of waste. This skip is roughly the dimensions of a smallish car and is often described as a midi skip. The 4 yd is an excellent option for garden shed clearances and household refurbishment jobs.

Should you have a more significant rubbish disposal task to undertake, a builder’s skip may be the smartest choice. These are available in both 6 and 8 cubic yard sizes. As the title implies, these are the most frequent sizes used by builders for building waste, like soil and rubble. But they can just as well be hired for household waste such as broken furniture or kitchen cabinets.

We also provide 10-16 yard bins and industrial 20-40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off containers. For additional info on the range of skip sizes we have available, please click the link below.

Guide to skip sizes

The builders skip is the most popular skip which is used across the country. Offered in either a 6 or 8 cubic yard capacity, the builders skip is fantastic for most building tasks, which is where the label comes from.

The 8 yard builder’s skip is the biggest option which can be used for hefty waste materials including soil, concrete, stone and gravel.

You can fill your skip with a wide array of different waste types which are commonly produced from loft clearances, construction work, garden landscaping and many other jobs. This can include timber, dirt, concrete, hedge trimmings, pieces of furniture, toys, kitchen cabinets or outdated bathroom fittings.

What you throw in your skip will depend on which size you have ordered, as there is a maximum weight restriction. For instance, in the event that you are using a skip for heavy building wastes like bricks or soil, the largest size you can hire is the 8 cubic yard.

Some materials cannot be disposed of in your skip. This includes fridges, computer monitors, tyres, paint, asbestos, plasterboard and chemicals. These materials will be classed as hazardous waste and have to be disposed of separately.

Electronic items such as tv sets, freezers, refrigerators, laptops or computers, monitors and washing machines are all classed as a hazardous waste type and therefore should not be put in your skip. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 requires that electrical goods need to be separated from other waste. This helps ensure that they can be reused, recycled and disposed of within the safest and most environmentally friendly way.

Hiring a skip in Leighton Buzzard through us is very easy. Pick the skip size you need and enter a couple of details about when and where you want the skip delivered. After that you can pay for the skip using our safe and secure online payment platform. We will send you a confirmation email and schedule to have your skip delivered.

Having a skip which has a drop down door can make loading waste into the skip a lot easier. This is especially the case with hefty waste such as garden soil and rubble, which can then be walked into the skip with a wheelbarrow. It may also make loading up large bulky items like furniture a lot easier too.

Most skip containers can be supplied with a drop down door, however this can sometimes depend on location and availability. Let us know when you make your online order if a door is needed, and we will do our absolute best to supply this.

Indeed, we can offer a national skip hire and waste management service. We can supply skips to locations throughout Bedfordshire, such as Leighton Buzzard, Luton, Houghton Regis and Biggleswade. So regardless of where you need a skip to get delivered, we have got it covered.

Once your skip is full and prepared for collection, it will be taken to a local waste transfer station to be processed. The rubbish will be separated into the various waste materials, like timber, metals, paper, etc. This means that as much of the rubbish as possible will be recycled, which is much better for the environment.

A roll-on roll-off skip, often known as a RORO, is a massive skip that can be used to get rid of large volumes of rubbish. These bins are predominantly for commercial use but can be hired by household clients also. Having said that, you should have a lot of space because these skips vary from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which is much larger when compared to the typical skip you will likely see on the side of the road.

Due to the size, these skips should only be provided for light materials such as plastics, wood and cardboard, so they are not suitable for disposing of soil and bricks.

In the vast majority of situations, your skip can be delivered on your driveway, the highway, path or grass verge and deliveries can be made to your house or place of work. If you would like the skip to be situated on land outside of your business or residence, you will have to get permission from the local authority in Leighton Buzzard, which is referred to as a permit. If necessary, we would be glad to arrange this for you, therefore it’s one less point to think about. The council will charge a fee for your permit, plus you should know before placing your order that securing the permit can sometimes take up to two working days.

The mini skip is the smallest size available and can describe either the 2 or 3 cubic yard skip. These compact bins are perfect for small DIY tasks and house clearances. Their small footprint means they are great for driveways.

They can be used to get rid of all types of waste materials, from household furnishings and old toys to paving blocks and concrete. With a volume of about 25-30 bin bags of rubbish, the mini skip will save you having to make multiple journeys to your local recycling centre.

Since we provide a national waste management service, we utilise a diverse network of verified and approved businesses. These can range from small local skip hire companies to national waste management providers. Every one of our service providers are vetted to guarantee they meet our high customer service and environmental principles.

The regular hire time frame will be 14 days from your date of delivery. However, at the time you book the skip, you can choose a pick up date that will work for you. Naturally, there is a possibility that you simply won’t know how long your skip will take to fill. So if your skip is full sooner than expected, contact us, and we will pick it up as soon as possible.

We will normally be out to pick up your skip within 48 hours. Having said that, it is important to bear in mind this may not be possible during busier times. Once collected, the waste will be transported to your local waste transfer facility, where it will be processed and sorted.
