Reliable skip hire in Lockerbie.

The majority of skip sizes can be provided with a drop down door, which makes them easy to load. However, we can’t always guarantee this. If you require a skip which has a drop-down door, please let us know when making your order, and then we will do our best to accommodate.

Having a skip which has a drop-down door can make it easier to load waste materials into the bin, especially with weighty materials, like soil and gravel, which can be walked in using a wheelbarrow. It also makes it easier to throw in big and bulky items, such as furniture.

We supply a wide range of skip sizes to match your specific needs, from 2 to 40 cubic yards. The smallest skip is the 2 yard mini skip, which is a compact skip excellent for modest DIY tasks and house clearances. A popular choice for more substantial projects, refurbishments and building work is the 8 yard skip.

For Lockerbie businesses with a large amount of bulky waste, we can offer RoRo skips (roll on roll off skips), which range from 20-40 cubic yards in size.

If possible, you want to have the skip left on to a hard surface. If you are carrying out a household task, then your drive is going to be ideal. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the way to go. On the other hand, if neither option is available, the road or grass verge could be your only choice. As this is public land, you will have to get a permit from the local authority. This is known as a skip permit, and will be needed for a skip to be positioned on the street, grass verge as well as other public property in Lockerbie. If this is needed, we will request the permit to be issued on your behalf. An extra fee, paid to the local council, will be added to the price of your chosen skip size.

Yes. We supply skips to cities, towns and villages all over the UK. By utilising a network of verified waste management businesses, we are able to offer skips to both residential and commercial customers across Dumfries and elsewhere within the UK.

You can generally keep a skip for up to 2 weeks from the date that it is delivered to you. To ensure the pick up will be as convenient as possible, you have the option of offering a preferred collection date when placing your order.

Alternatively, simply let us know when you’ve finished loading up the skip, and we will prepare to collect sooner – in the vast majority of circumstances, it will be the next working day.

It may take a little bit longer to collect your skip during busy periods, but we will always try to be there as swiftly as possible.

A roll-on roll-off skip, sometimes referred to as a RORO, is a huge container that can be used to dispose of large amounts of rubbish. These skips are primarily for commercial use but can be hired by household customers also. However, you will require plenty of room since these skips vary from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which are much larger when compared to the typical skip you will see on the side of the road.

Due to the size, roro skips should only be used for lightweight materials like plastics, timber and paper, and so they are not suited to disposing of concrete and rubble.

When you have a small quantity of rubbish to throw out, a mini skip might be the ideal option. What size is known as a mini skip varies from business to business, dependant upon what sizes they supply.

The most popular size for the mini skip is 2 cubic yards. However, some firms choose to have a 3 cubic yard container for their smallest option. The price is based on the actual size you order, instead of the phrase “mini skip”.

Mini skips are perfect for residential tasks such as small DIY projects and shed clean ups. If you want it positioned on your driveway and need space to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them the best choice.

No, you can not put old or broken electronic waste items in your skip. This can include such things as laptops, microwaves, washing machines, fridges and televisions. Electric products can’t be disposed of in a skip since they can have dangerous materials and components.

Due to the 2003 WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electronic goods cannot go to landfill and must be reused or recycled.

The contents of your skip will be taken to a nearby waste recycling facility. Here the rubbish will be segregated by machines and also by hand into different waste materials, such as soil, plastics, concrete and timber. Processing the rubbish in this way helps to maximise the amount that can be reused and recycled. Our aim and motivation is always to maximise the amount of waste that is recycled and minimise the volume of waste that has to go in landfill.

Please don’t overfill your skip as this will make it dangerous to move, and you will then have to remove any contents above the level load mark. This means that you can not use sheets of timber, doors or any other item, as this will increase the size of the skip. Waste management companies have a legal obligation to make sure that skips aren’t overloaded or overweight before moving them.

Please be sure to order the appropriate size of skip for your requirements and get in contact if you’re unsure which size you need. We will be happy to help.

You can use a skip to discard lots of different waste materials. We are experienced in picking up and processing numerous items produced from building work, garden landscaping and house clearances. Examples of permitted waste materials can include:

• Home furniture
• Hedge cuttings
• Soil
• Stone
• Bathroom toilets and sinks
• Cabinets and units

The majority of waste types are allowed, so whether you need to discard metals, plastic materials, timber or textiles, we can normally take your rubbish away.

The volume and materials you put in your skip may vary depending on the size skip you chosen. Skips have a weight limit for safety purposes. So to be able to dispose of garden soil and concrete, as an example, the biggest size you will be permitted to use is the 8 yard skip.

What sort of items am I not allowed to put in the skip?

There are some waste items which you are not permitted to put in the skip. The reason behind this is that these items include hazardous components which could cause harm to the environment. They can even be damaging to human health, therefore they have to be discarded separately within UK regulations.

A few of the things that are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Refrigerators
• Gas canisters
• Computer screens
• Batteries
• Car tyres
• Chemical substances
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

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

These big skips are fantastic for numerous domestic and industrial jobs. These are the largest sizes which can be used for heavy builders waste like top soil, stone and concrete.

It usually is best if you can be available when anybody delivers something to your house. That enables you to ensure there is sufficient access for your delivery, and the skip can be dropped exactly where you want it.

The same thing applies for those who have a company. If you have a gate or security, it might not be possible to get a skip delivered if you are not present.

However, if it is unavoidable and access is not a problem, you do not need to be there when the skip is delivered.

We will make sure your skip is provided on the day requested, which in most cases is going to be Monday to Saturday. For those who place an order before 3pm Monday to Friday, we can normally deliver your skip the following day.

Although we are not able to promise an exact delivery time, we will always do our very best to come within either a morning or afternoon slot of your choosing.

You have to ensure the skip lorry can access the delivery location, as a unsuccessful delivery attempt will most likely incur a fee for the wasted trip.
