Reliable skip hire in Porthcawl.

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

Instead of a 2 yard skip, some skip companies provide a 3 yard as the smallest container. They will refer to this as a mini skip, which can be a little confusing. But rest assured, the cost of hiring a skip is based on the actual size of the skip ordered, so whether it is classed as a mini skip or not will not make any difference.

If you are having a skip delivered to your house, it is always best to be in at the time the skip is delivered. You can then make sure the lorry has total access and that the skip can be situated precisely where you need it. The same is true when you have a skip delivered to business property, particularly if gates limit access.

On the other hand, if this is not achievable, you do not need to be concerned. Simply tell us when you are making your order, and we will handle the rest.

Your skip can be hired to get rid of many different types of waste. We are used to picking up and processing lots of items produced from construction jobs, garden projects and house clean-ups. A few examples of allowed waste types include things like:

• Home furnishings
• Garden trimmings
• Garden soil
• Rubble
• Bathroom toilets and sinks
• Cabinets and units

Most waste types are permitted, and so whether you wish to throw out furniture, plastics, wood or fabric, we can usually take your rubbish away.

The volume and waste types you put into the skip may vary based on the size skip you have hired. All skips have a weight limit for safety. So if you wish to dispose of garden soil and concrete, as an example, the largest size container you will be allowed to hire will be the 8 yard skip.

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

There are some items you are not permitted to throw out in your skip. The reason behind this is that some goods include hazardous elements which can cause damage to the environment. They can even be hazardous to human health, therefore they have to be disposed of separately within UK regulations.

A few examples of the items that are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas cylinders
• Computer monitors
• Battery packs
• Tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

Generally, you can have a skip for a maximum of 14 days. This means you don’t have to rush through your project. When you have completed your project or the skip is full before the 14-day mark, we will gladly come and get the skip earlier. Just give us a call or contact us on our website, and we will be out to pick it up as soon as possible.

This depends upon where the skip will be positioned. You will only need to have a permit when it is placed on public property, like a street, pavement or grass verge. You do not need a permit when your skip is on your private property, like a drive or within your business premises.

If you do need to get a permit, we will organise this on your behalf as part of the service. Just let us know during the order process, so we can make the required arrangements with your local council. They will charge a fee for this, so if you can have the skip on private property, it will save you some pounds.

The phrase builder’s skip can relate to two different sizes – the 6 cubic yard and 8 yd skip. The label comes from the fact that these are the most typical sizes that are hired by general builders and tradespeople.

These big skips are great for numerous types of household and business tasks. They are the largest sizes which can be used for heavy builders waste like garden soil, rubble and gravel.

Make sure you don’t overfill the skip as this makes it hazardous to transport, and you will then have to empty any materials higher than the level load line. This means that you are not allowed to make use of sheets of timber, doors or some other item, since this will increase the height of the skip. Waste management companies have a legal responsibility to ensure that skips are not overloaded or overweight before transporting them.

Please make sure you order the appropriate size of skip to meet your needs and get in contact if you’re not sure which size is best. We would be glad to help.

The contents of the skip will be taken to a local waste recycling centre. Here the rubbish will be separated by machinery and by hand into numerous waste streams, like soil, paper, hardcore and wood. Processing the waste in this way helps to maximise the quantity that can be reused and recycled. Our aim and dedication is always to maximise the amount of waste that is recycled and minimise the quantity of waste that has to go in landfill.

Skips come in a wide range of sizes to match different waste disposal needs. Each container is measured by volume, generally in cubic yards. The smallest of these sizes is the 2 yard skip, often referred to as the mini skip. It will hold approximately 25 bags of waste, which is ideal for small residential tasks.

Next up is the 4 yard skip, which can hold roughly 35 bin bags of waste. This skip is roughly the dimensions of a small car and is sometimes described as a midi skip. The 4 yd is a fantastic option for garage clearances and home refurbishment jobs.

If you have a more significant rubbish disposal task to handle, the builder’s skip could be the most suitable choice. These come in both 6 and 8 cubic yard sizes. As the title implies, these represent the most common sizes ordered by builders for construction waste, such as clay and stone. However they can just as well be used for household rubbish such as outdated furniture or kitchen units.

We can also offer 10-16 yard skips and commercial 20-40 yard RORO containers. For more details about the range of skip sizes we have available, click the link below.

Guide to skip sizes

Due to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electrical goods have to be kept separate from general waste materials to get recycled or disposed of safely. This can include all electronic goods like tumble dryers, televisions, toasters, computers and even hairdryers.

Ordering a skip should not be hard. This is why we have made the order process as simple as possible. First, type in your address to view all the different skips we are able to deliver to Porthcawl.

The roll-on roll-off skip, often referred to as a RORO, is a huge skip that can be used to dispose of large quantities of waste. These skips are primarily for industrial use but can be hired by residential clients too. However, you will require lots of room as these skips vary from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which is much bigger than the average skip you will likely see on the roadside.

Due to the size, RORO containers should only be provided for lightweight materials like plastics, timber and cardboard, and so they are not suitable for getting rid of soil and rubble.

For anyone who is getting a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will have a drop-down door. This is perfect for disposing of heavy building and demolition rubbish, as it can be pushed in to the skip by using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 yarders also feature a drop door, though these are generally less common. The reason being these sizes are generally low enough on the ends for you to tip a wheelbarrow of waste into them.

If you prefer a drop door for your job, tell us when placing your order. We will do our utmost to make sure a container that has a drop door is supplied.
