Reliable skip hire in Milnthorpe.

For anybody who is ordering a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will include a drop door. This is made for disposing of heavy building and construction waste materials, as it can be walked into the skip with a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 cubic yarders also come with a drop door, although these are typically more uncommon. Simply because these sizes are generally small enough on the ends so that you can tip a wheelbarrow of waste into them.

If you require a drop door for your job, tell us when ordering. We will do our utmost to make sure a container with a drop door is delivered.

When it comes to ordering a skip in Milnthorpe, you have multiple options to pick from, ranging from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 cubic yard container, sometimes called the mini skip, is the smallest option available. This compact skip is great for modest domestic clearances and DIY jobs.

The next size available is the 4 yard midi skip, which can hold 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 represent the most common sizes ordered, as building contractors and tradespeople frequently make use of them. But their big capacity also means they are great for household clearances involving bulky items such as household furniture and beds.

We will provide 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard bins for people with even larger rubbish disposal needs. These skips are only suited to lightweight waste, so they can’t be used to dispose of soil or rubble.

No, you can not put old electronic waste products in your skip. This can include things like laptops, hobs, tumble dryers, fridges and televisions. Electronic objects can’t be disposed of in your skip as they can have dangerous materials and components.

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

The contents of the skip will be taken to the local waste recycling station. Here the rubbish will be separated by machines and also by hand into numerous waste streams, including soil, cardboard, concrete and timber. Sorting the waste in this way helps to maximise the quantity which can be reused and recycled. Our aim and motivation is always to maximise recycling rates and minimise the amount of waste ending up in landfill.

The phrase builder’s skip can relate to two sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 yard skip. The term comes from the fact that they are the most typical sizes used by general builders and tradespeople.

These large containers are perfect for numerous residential and commercial projects. These are the biggest size skips that you can use for weighty builders waste including top soil, rubble and gravel.

Normally, you can have your skip for a maximum of two week. Which means you don’t need to hurry through your project. When you have finished your project or the skip is full ahead of the 14-day mark, we will be happy to come and get the skip earlier. Just give us a call or contact us online, and we will be out to get it as quickly as possible.

This will depend on where the skip is going to be positioned. You will only require a permit when it is put on public property, like a street, pavement or grass verge. You do not require a permit when your skip will be on your private property, like a driveway or on your company premises.

Should you have to get a permit, we will arrange this for you as part of the service. Simply let us know during the order process, so we will make the necessary arrangements with your local authority. They will charge a fee for this, so if you can position the skip on private property, you will save some pounds.

It usually is a good idea to be there when anyone delivers anything to your house. That enables you to ensure there is sufficient access for your delivery, and the skip can be positioned exactly where you need it.

The same goes if you have a business. If there is a gate or security, it may not be possible to have a skip delivered if you are not there.

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

Your skip can be used to get rid of many different types of waste. We are used to picking up and handling numerous materials generated from building jobs, garden projects and household clearances. A few examples of allowed waste products include things like:

• Home furnishings
• Hedge cuttings
• Soil
• Rubble
• Bathroom toilets and sinks
• Kitchen cabinets and units

The majority of waste materials are usually allowed, and so whether you need to get rid of metals, plastics, wood or clothing, we can usually take your waste away.

The volume and items you put into the skip can vary depending on which size skip you chosen. Skips have a weight limit for safety. So if you would like discard top soil and bricks, for example, the biggest size container you will be able to use would be the 8 yard builders skip.

Are there items which I can’t put in the skip?

There are several items which you will not be allowed to throw out in your skip. The reason behind this is that these products incorporate hazardous materials which could be harmful to the environment. They can also be damaging to human health, so they need to be discarded separately within UK laws.

A few of the things that are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas canisters
• PC monitors
• Battery packs
• Tyres
• Chemical substances
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

If you have a small quantity of rubbish to dispose of, a mini skip may be the ideal solution. What size is identified as a mini skip is different from business to business, dependant upon what sizes they offer.

2 cubic yards is probably the most widely used size for the mini skip. However, some companies opt to have a 3 yard container for their smallest option. Price depends on the actual size you order, instead of the term “mini skip”.

Mini skips are best for domestic tasks like modest DIY projects and garden tidy ups. If you need it positioned on your driveway and require space to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them the best choice.

Make sure you don’t overfill the skip as this makes it hazardous to move, and you may have to empty any items over the level load mark. This means you are unable to make use of sheets of timber, doors or some other object, since this will increase the size of the skip. Waste management companies have a legal obligation to make sure that containers aren’t overfilled or overweight before transporting them.

Please make sure you select the appropriate size of skip to suit your needs and get in contact if you’re uncertain which size you require. We will be happy to help.

A roll-on roll-off skip (RORO) is a substantial container used to transport significant quantities of waste materials. In most cases, these skips are hired for business uses. However, residential customers can also order them. You will need to think about the area they will take up, as they measure between 20 to 40 cubic yards. Because of this, they should only be hired for lightweight materials including paper, wood and cardboard, and are not appropriate for the disposal of dirt and rubble.
