These businesses are comprehensively assessed to make certain they satisfy the high standards we demand with regards to customer service, cost and environmental performance.

We can usually supply skips to Meopham the next working day when an order is placed before 3pm. This applies to orders made between Monday and Friday.

Our online booking system will provide you with various delivery dates to choose from. So whether you would like the skip to arrive asap or want to schedule delivery for a later date, it’s no problem.

Our goal is to offer the most affordable skip hire service in Meopham. The price you pay will, obviously, be determined by the size of skip that you hire. This varies from the mini skip, which is the lowest priced choice, all the way up to the 40 yard RORO container. If you need to have the skip placed on the road or other council owned property, you will also need to factor in the added cost of the skip permit.

It is possible to put a variety of rubbish into the skip. This includes wood, tile, metal or bricks from a property clearance. Tree and bush cuttings, soil and rock from garden work is permitted also. Cupboards and worktops from your kitchen and old bathroom fixtures may also be thrown in your skip.

There are, however, some materials that you can’t put in a skip a result of the potential ecological or health risk they can trigger.

You can’t throw in your fridge, computer or car tyres. Paint, chemicals and asbestos is also not allowed in the skip. Each of these items contain hazardous components in one form or another. They need to be disposed of separately from your normal rubbish.

Should you need hazardous waste disposal, we might be able to organise a separate collection for this waste. Please email us for additional details. Alternatively, if you are a household customer, you might be able to take this sort of waste to your local council managed recycling facility.

The mini skip will be the smallest skip offered by skip firms and is perfect for small DIY tasks, house clearances and general tidy-ups. For the majority of firms, the mini skip is a 2 yard skip, which will hold the equivalent of around 25 bin bags worth of rubbish.

Rather than a 2 cubic yard skip, some companies will offer a 3 yard as the smallest container. They will likely refer to this as a mini skip, which can be a bit confusing. But rest assured, the cost of hiring the skip depends on the actual size of the skip ordered, so whether it is branded as a mini skip or not will not make any difference.

This depends on where the skip is going to be located. You will only require a permit if it is positioned on public property, such as a road, pavement or grass verge. You will not need to have a permit if the skip is on private property, such as a drive or inside your company premises.

If you have to get a permit, we can arrange this for you as part of the service. Just let us know as part of the order process, and we will make the required arrangements with your local council. They will charge a fee for this, so if you can place the skip on your own property, you will save a few pounds.

You don’t have to be at your property when the skip is being delivered, but it can help. Being there when your skip is due to be delivered means that you can make sure the delivery driver is given complete access and that your skip is located exactly where you want it. Likewise, if the skip is hired to business premises, we will appreciate your assistance during the time of delivery, especially if gates will restrict the lorry’s access.

However, for those who can’t be around at the time of delivery, don’t worry. We simply ask that you tell us when you place your order, and we will arrange things from there.

If you run a company in Meopham and need to dispose of large quantities of light waste materials, a roll-on roll-off container could be a fantastic option. Available in 20 to 40 cubic yards, these are the biggest waste disposal containers on the market.

As the name indicates, these type of containers are rolled on and off the lorry with a hook, unlike regular skips, which are picked up by using chains.

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

The 8 cubic yard builders skip will be the biggest size which you can use for heavy waste matter such as dirt, concrete, bricks and rubble.

No, you can not put old or unwanted electronic waste products in a skip. This includes things like laptops, hobs, dishwashers, freezers and monitors. Electronic items can’t be disposed of in the skip since they can have hazardous materials and components.

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

Usually, you can keep the skip for a maximum of 2 weeks. This means you don’t need to hurry through your project. If you have completed your project or the skip is fully loaded ahead of the 14-day mark, we will gladly come and get the skip earlier. Just give us a call or contact us online, and we will be out to collect it as soon as possible.

In addition to delivering skips and containers to Meopham, we also deliver to other towns and villages within Kent. Through our network of local and national skip hire and recycling businesses, we provide you with a totally nationwide service. So whether you want a skip delivering to a house or business premises in Meopham, Minster or Margate, we have got you covered.

You must not fill up your skip past the level load mark. When you load it above the tip of this level, it means your skip is not safe and secure to move, and you can be asked to remove any excess rubbish prior to it being picked up.

The items in your skip will be taken to the local waste transfer station. Here the rubbish will be segregated by machines and also by hand into different waste streams, such as metal, plastics, concrete and timber. Sorting the waste in this way helps to increase the volume which can be reused and recycled. Our aim and motivation is to maximise recycling rates and minimise the quantity of waste ending up in landfill.

When it comes to ordering a skip in Meopham, you have numerous sizes to select from, which range from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 yard container, also known as a mini skip, will be the smallest choice available. This compact container is fantastic for modest house clearances and DIY tasks.

Our next size available is the 4 yard midi skip, that can contain the equivalent of roughly 35-40 bin bags of waste.

After the midi are the builder’s skips, which are available in either 6 or 8 cubic yards. These are the most frequent sizes ordered, as builders and tradespeople frequently use them. But their substantial capacity also makes them perfect for household clear ups including bulky items like pieces of furniture and beds.

We can offer 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard containers for customers with even bigger waste disposal needs. These sizes are only suitable for lightweight waste materials, so they can’t be used to dispose of soil or stone.

For additional information regarding the various skip sizes offered, including proportions, take a look at our help guide to skip sizes.

Typically, nearly all skips can be supplied with a drop-down door, dependant upon the size, availability and location. If you require a drop-down door, be sure to let us know when ordering your skip.

Ordering a skip which has a drop door is primarily helpful if you are choosing a big builder’s skip, because it means that you can wheelbarrow rubbish into the skip. This is not so important for mini skips, since they are small enough at the ends for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

This is the easy part. First, pick the size of skip you wish to hire. Tell us whether the skip will be going on your own property (a drive, for example) or council property (such as the road). Then, pick the date you would like your skip to be delivered. Check your order and make payment using our safe and secure online payment platform. That is it! We will deliver your chosen skip to Meopham on the day you have chosen.
