Reliable skip hire in Port Glasgow.

If you manage a business in Port Glasgow and wish to dispose of large amounts of light waste materials, a roll-on roll-off bin may be a great choice. Offered in 20 to 40 yards, they are the biggest waste disposal containers available.

As the label implies, these type of containers can be rolled on and off the lorry with a hook, as opposed to standard skips, which are picked up by using chains.

Once your order is done, we will send a confirmation email with all of your booking details. You can then sit back and relax while we take care of the rest.

The mini skip is the most compact skip provided by skip companies and is designed for small DIY jobs, shed clearances and general tidy-ups. For most companies, the mini skip will be a 2 yard skip, that will contain the equivalent of about 25 black bags worth of rubbish.

Rather than a 2 yard skip, some firms provide a 3 cubic yard as the smallest skip. They will likely refer to this as being a mini skip, which can be slightly confusing. But rest assured, the fee for hiring a skip depends on the actual size of the skip you order, so whether it is classed as being a mini skip or not won’t make any difference.

After you have finished filling up your skip, we will come and collect it. It will be transported to a waste recycling station either in or local to Port Glasgow where we separate the rubbish into its composite types (timber, metal, soil, etc.). By separating the waste, we can reuse and recycle as much of it as is possible.

Yes, we offer a nationwide skip hire and waste management service. We can supply our range of skips to areas across Renfrewshire, such as Port Glasgow, Barrhead, Greenock and Renfrew. So no matter where you want a skip to be delivered, we have got it covered.

Skips are available in a wide range of sizes to match various waste disposal requirements. Each container is measured by volume, usually in cubic yards. The smallest of these sizes is the 2 cubic yard skip, sometimes called the mini skip. It can hold approximately 25 bags of rubbish, which is perfect for small household jobs.

Next up is the 4 yard skip, which can be used to hold roughly 35 black bags of rubbish. This skip is roughly the dimensions of a small car and is often referred to as a midi skip. The 4 yard skip is a good option for shed clearances and home refurbishment jobs.

Should you have a more significant rubbish disposal task to take on, the builder’s skip may be the best choice. These can be ordered in both 6 and 8 cubic yards. As the label implies, these are the most frequent sizes used by builders for building waste, such as clay and stone. But they can just as well be used for domestic rubbish such as broken furniture or bathroom suites.

We also offer 10-16 yard containers and commercial 20-40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off containers. For more information about all the different skip sizes we have available, please click the link below.

Guide to skip sizes

If at all possible, you want to have the skip left on a hard surface area. When you are carrying out a household task, then the driveway is going to be best. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the way to go. On the other hand, when neither is available, the street or grass verge may be your only option. As this is public property, you will need to obtain a permit from the local authority. This is known as a skip permit, and will be necessary for a skip to be dropped on the road, grass verge as well as other public property in Port Glasgow. If this is required, we will request the permit to be issued on your behalf. An extra fee, paid to the local council, will be added to the cost of your skip.

The price of hiring a skip will usually have a hire period of up to 14 days. Usually, this provides you with plenty of time to fill the skip. However, if you need more time, contact us, and we will see what we can do.

Of course, if you finish with your skip earlier, our company is happy to arrange your pick up. Just tell us when you have finished, and we will organise to send out one of our lorry drivers to collect the skip as soon as possible.

Using a skip that has a drop door will make filling rubbish into it so much easier. This is especially the case with heavy waste materials like garden soil or stone, which can then be walked straight into the skip with a wheelbarrow. It can also make disposing of big bulky objects such as furniture easier too.

The majority of skips can be supplied with a drop down door, although this can sometimes depend on your area and availability. Let us know when making your order if a drop door is required, and we will do our very best to provide this.

Make sure you don’t overfill your skip as this makes it unsafe to move, and you will probably be asked to remove any contents higher than the level load line. This also means you are unable to use sheets of timber, doors or another object, as this will artificially increase the size of the skip. We have a legal obligation to ensure that skips aren’t overfilled or overweight before moving them.

Please make sure you select the correct size of skip to meet your requirements and get in contact if you are not sure which size is best. We would be happy to help.

The phrase builder’s skip can mean two sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 cubic yard skip. The term stems from the fact that these are the most common sizes that are ordered by general builders and tradespeople.

These substantial skips are great for an array of household and commercial tasks. These are the biggest skip sizes that can be used for heavy builders waste including top soil, stone and bricks.

Electronic objects like television sets, freezers, refrigerators, personal computers, monitors and washing machines are all classed as a hazardous type of waste and so should not be thrown in your skip. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 requires that electric powered goods need to be separated from other materials. This ensures they can be reused, recycled and disposed of in the safest and most eco friendly way.

The cost of hiring a skip in Port Glasgow is determined by the size of skip you require. The least expensive skip available is the 2 cubic yard mini skip, which is ideal for small DIY jobs and general clearances. If you want a larger skip, such as an 8 yd builder’s skip, it will naturally cost more. The charge will also be more if you need to have your skip on the road, because you will require a permit, which the council charge a fee for.

We use a network of both local and nationwide skip hire firms to deliver skips to our customers in Port Glasgow and the rest of the UK. All of our partner businesses are verified and tested to make certain they match our standards for price, customer service, recycling and reliability.

Once your skip is ordered, we will do our best to deliver it to you on a day that best suits you. We can normally give you a next day delivery service for orders booked before 3pm on Monday to Friday. This will be subject to having your skip placed on private property, because to go on public property (such as a street), you will need to get a skip permit which will take a couple of days to organise.

Due to many factors that could impact our service, we can never guarantee a precise delivery time. However, we will always aim to tell you whether you can expect it to be delivered in a AM or PM slot.

This is amongst the most common questions people have about hiring a skip. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you can fill your skip with a wide range of different materials. After all, there are lots of types of waste which can result from garden work, construction work and house clearances.

Some of the most frequent things which we find in our skips include dirt, wood, hedge trimmings, cabinets, bathroom suites, as well as other household items.

There are also some items that you are not allowed to throw in your skip. For example, any electronic items (fridge freezers, televisions and washing machines for example), old car tyres, asbestos materials, plasterboard and paint. These are all deemed hazardous waste, and so getting rid of them must comply with an entirely different process to ensure they do not result in damage to the environment.

No, you do not have to be home when we are delivering the skip. Provided that we can gain access to where you need it positioned, we are able to manage it all.

In the event you will not be in, just let us know any relevant delivery directions when booking your order. For instance, you may want the skip to be dropped at a particular part of your property. Or you may want to ensure the skip does not prevent entry to your garage.

No matter what the case might be, let us know when you place your order, and we will make sure the instructions are passed to the lorry driver.
