Reliable skip hire in Lowestoft.

When your skip is full and ready for collection, we will collect it and take it to a local waste transfer station, where it will be processed. The rubbish gets separated into several different waste streams, such as wood, soil and plastics. This helps to ensure as much of the rubbish will be recycled as possible. We are proud of our dedication to the environment by sending as little waste to landfill as possible!

Nearly all skip sizes can be provided with a drop down door, which makes them easier to load. However, we can’t always guarantee this. If you want a skip which has a drop-down door, please tell us when making your order, and we will do our best to accommodate.

Having a skip with a drop-down door makes it easier to load waste into the bin, particularly with heavy materials, such as dirt and bricks, which can be walked in using a wheelbarrow. This also makes it easier to throw in big and bulky objects, like furniture.

In most situations, your skip can be delivered on your drive, the highway, path or grass verge and deliveries can be made to your home or place of work. If you would like the skip to be situated on land outside of your company or home, you will need to secure authorisation from the local council in Lowestoft, which is called a skip permit. If necessary, we would gladly organise this for you, so it’s one less point to worry about. The local authority does charge a fee for your skip license, and you should be aware before placing your order that getting the licence will often take up to two working days.

No, you cannot put old or broken electrical waste products in a skip. This can include such things as laptops, microwaves, dishwashers, freezers and television sets. Electric items can’t be disposed of in the skip since they can have dangerous materials and components.

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

You can usually have a skip for as long as 2 weeks from the date of delivery. You may give a chosen pick up date at the time you confirm your order. Alternatively, you can let us know after you have finished with the skip, and then we will arrange the collection. Generally, this will be the following business day, although it can occasionally take slightly longer during hectic times.

As we offer a UK-wide waste management service, we use an extensive network of verified businesses. These vary from small local skip hire companies to nationwide waste management providers. Each of our service providers are vetted to guarantee they satisfy our high customer service and environmental requirements.

For those who have a small amount of rubbish to get rid of, a mini skip may be the best choice. What size is described as a mini skip varies from company to company, determined by what sizes they supply.

The most common size for a mini skip is 2 cubic yards. However, some companies opt to have a 3 yard skip as their smallest option. Price is based on the specific size you hire, instead of the phrase “mini skip”.

Mini skips are ideal for household jobs such as small DIY projects and shed tidy ups. If you would like it positioned on your driveway and want space to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a great choice.

The roll-on roll-off skip, often known as a RORO, is a massive skip that can be used to get rid of large amounts of waste. These bins are predominantly for industrial use but can be hired by domestic customers as well. However, you will want a good amount of space as these skips vary from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which are much larger compared to the typical skip you will see on the side of the road.

As a result of the size, roro skips can only be hired for light-weight materials like plastics, timber and cardboard, so they are not suitable for disposing of concrete and rubble.

Your skip may be used to dispose of a variety of types of waste. We are used to collecting and handling lots of items generated from building work, garden landscaping and property tidy-ups. Examples of permitted waste types include:

• Home furnishings
• Hedge trimmings
• Top soil
• Hardcore
• Bathroom sinks
• Kitchen cabinets and units

Many different materials are generally accepted, and so whether you wish to get rid of furniture, plastic materials, wood or unwanted toys, we can normally take your waste away.

The volume and materials you throw in your skip will vary depending on which size skip you chosen. Skips have a weight limit for safety reasons. So if you would like dispose of soil and hardcore, as an example, the largest size you would be able to use will be the 8 yard skip.

Is there anything that I can’t put in my skip?

There are several items you are not allowed to dump in the skip. The reason for this is that these items contain hazardous components which can damage the environment. They may also be harmful to human health, therefore they need to be discarded separately under UK regulations.

Examples of the products that are restricted include:

• Paint
• Solvents Refrigerators
• Gas canisters
• PC screens
• Batteries
• Tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

The term builder’s skip can refer to two sizes – the 6 yard and 8 cubic yard skip. The name stems from the fact that these are the most frequent sizes that are hired by builders and tradespeople.

These substantial containers are great for numerous residential and industrial jobs. They are the biggest skip sizes which you can use for heavy builders waste including top soil, rubble and bricks.

Make sure you don’t overfill the skip as this will make it hazardous to transport, and you will have to empty any materials over the level load line. This also means that you can not use sheets of wood, doors or any other item, as this will increase the size of the skip. Waste management companies have a legal responsibility to make sure that skips are not overfilled or overweight before transporting them.

Please make sure to hire the correct sized skip to meet your needs and get in touch if you are not sure which size is best. We will be glad to help.
