Ludgershall Skip Hire FAQs

Do I require permission to get a skip delivered on the road in Ludgershall?

Ideally, you want to have the skip dropped on to a hard surface area. For anyone who is doing a domestic job, then your drive will be best. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the ideal solution. On the other hand, when neither is available, the street or grass verge could be your only choice. As this is public land, you need to obtain a permit from your local authority. This is known as a skip permit, and will be necessary for a skip to be positioned on a street, grass verge or other public property in Ludgershall. If this is required, we will request the permit to be granted on your behalf. An additional charge, paid to the local council, will be added to the cost of your skip.

What is a roll-on roll-off container?

If you manage a business in Ludgershall and need to dispose of large amounts of light waste, a roll-on roll-off skip might be a great choice. Available in 20 to 40 cubic yards, they are the biggest waste disposal skips on the market.

As the name suggests, these containers are rolled off and on the lorry with a hook, as opposed to regular skips, that are lifted by using chains.

Is it ok to stack up waste in my skip?

Make sure you don’t overfill your skip as this will make it dangerous to move, and you will probably have to remove any contents above the level load line. This also means you can not make use of sheets of wood, doors or some other item, since this will artificially increase the height of the skip. Waste management companies have a legal obligation to make sure that skips aren’t overfilled or overweight before moving them.

Please be sure to choose the correct sized skip to suit your needs and get in contact if you are not sure which size is best. We will be happy to help.

How much does it cost to hire a skip in Ludgershall?

Our goal is to offer the most affordable skip hire service in Ludgershall. The price you pay will, of course, be determined by the size of skip that you hire. This ranges from the mini skip, which is the least expensive option, all the way up to the 40 yard roll-on roll-off container. If you want to have your skip situated on the highway or any other council property, you will also have to factor in the additional price of a skip permit.

Am I allowed to dispose of electronic products in the skip?

Unfortunately it is not permitted, because electrical items such as old TVs, fridge freezers, printers and computer monitors are classed as hazardous waste materials. As a result of the Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electrical objects have to be kept separate for them to be recycled and disposed of in a secure and eco-friendly manner.

Will the skip have a drop down door?

Generally, nearly all skips can be supplied with a drop down door, dependant upon size, availability and location. If you want a drop-down door, please tell us when ordering your skip.

Getting a skip with a drop door is mainly helpful when choosing a large builder’s skip, as it allows you to wheelbarrow your waste into the skip. This isn’t as important for mini skips, since they are low enough at the edges for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

How much waste can a builders skip hold?

The builders skip is regarded as the frequent skip which is hired throughout the UK. Coming in either a 6 or 8 yd capacity, a builder’s skip is perfect for most building and construction tasks, which is where the name originates from.

The 8 yard builder’s skip will be the biggest size that you can use for hefty materials including dirt, concrete, rock and gravel.

When will my skip be delivered?

We will make sure your skip is delivered when requested, which in most cases will be Monday to Saturday. When you place an order before 3pm Monday to Friday, we can usually deliver your skip the very next day.

Although we are not able to guarantee a precise delivery time, we will do our very best to arrive within either a morning or afternoon slot of your choosing.

You will need to ensure the skip lorry can access the delivery area, as a unsuccessful delivery attempt will in most cases incur a charge for the wasted trip.

What can I put in my skip?

You are able to put a wide array of rubbish in the skip. This can include wood, floor tiles, plastics or concrete from a household clearance. Shrub and bush cuttings, top soil and stone from garden tasks are allowed as well. Cupboards from a kitchen and old bathroom fittings can also go in the skip.

However, there are some items that can’t be put in a skip because of the potential ecological or health risks they may cause.

You are unable to get rid of your fridge freezer, computer or old car tyres. Chemical waste, asbestos or paint is also not allowed in the skip. Each of these items contain hazardous components in one form or another. They should be disposed of separately from normal waste.

If you want hazardous waste removal, we may be able to schedule an independent service for this waste. Please email for further details. Alternatively, if you are a residential customer, you might be able to take this kind of waste to your local council run recycling centre.

How long am I allowed to keep a skip for?

Our standard hire term will be two weeks from your delivery date. However, when you book your skip, you can let us know a pick up date that will work for you. Naturally, there is a chance that you won’t know how long your project will take. So if the skip is full sooner than expected, let us know, and we will pick it up as soon as possible.

We can normally be out to get your skip within 48 hours. Having said that, it is important to understand that this may not be possible during busy times. Once collected, your skip will be transported to a local waste transfer facility, where the waste will be processed and sorted.

How big is a mini skip?

The mini skip is the most compact size offered and may describe either the 2 or 3 yard skip. These compact containers are ideal for small DIY jobs and domestic clearances. Their small footprint makes them excellent for driveways.

They can be used to dispose of all types of waste materials, from household furnishings and old toys to paving blocks and bricks. Having a volume of around 25-30 bags of rubbish, the mini skip will save you having to make several journeys to the local recycling centre.

How do you hire a skip?

This is the easy part. First, choose the size of skip you wish to hire. Let us know whether the skip will be going on private property (a drive, for example) or on local authority property (such as the road). After that, choose the date you need your skip to be delivered. Confirm your order and make payment using our secure online payment system. All done! We will deliver your skip to Ludgershall on the date you have selected.

Do I need to be at home when my skip will be delivered?

It is usually best if you can be available when anybody delivers anything to your property. That allows you to ensure there is sufficient access for your delivery, plus the skip can be positioned precisely where you want it.

The same applies for those who have a business. When there is a gate or security, it might not be possible to have a skip delivered if you are not present.

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

What are the different skip sizes to pick from?

We can provide a wide selection of skip sizes to match your particular needs, from 2 to 40 cubic yards. Our smallest available skip is the 2 yard mini skip, a compact skip excellent for modest DIY jobs and household clearances. A common choice for more substantial projects, renovations and construction work is the 8 yard builders skip.

For Ludgershall companies with a large quantity of bulky waste materials, we can supply RoRo containers (roll on roll off skips), which range from 20-40 cubic yards in size.

If you need help choosing which skip size you need, check out our helpful skip size comparison.

What happens to the rubbish?

When you have finished filling your skip, we will come and collect it. It will be transported to a waste transfer station in or local to Ludgershall where we will segregate the rubbish into its composite types (wood, plastics, rubble, etc.). By separating the waste from your skip, we can reuse and recycle as much of it as is possible.

Other areas covered include Corsham, Cricklade, Wilton, Mere, Trowbridge, Bradford-on-Avon, Swindon and Westbury.
