Reliable skip hire in Potton.

Getting a skip which has a drop door helps make filling rubbish into it a lot easier. This is particularly true with heavy materials such as soil or stone, which can then be loaded straight into the skip using a wheelbarrow. It may also make disposing of large bulky objects like furniture easier also.

The majority of skips can be provided with a drop down door, however this may sometimes depend upon area and availability. Let us know when making your booking if a door is needed, and we will do our best to provide this.

Electronic objects like televisions, freezers, fridges, laptops or computers, monitors and washing machines are all classed as a hazardous waste and so cannot be thrown in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 requires that electric items have to be segregated from other rubbish. This ensures that they can be recycled and disposed of within the safest and most eco friendly manner.

You must not fill the skip past the level load line. If you fill it over the tip of this mark, it means your skip will not be secure to transport, and you may be asked to remove the extra waste prior to it being picked up.

Our goal is to provide the cheapest skip hire service in Potton. The price you pay will, obviously, depend upon the size of skip that you order. This varies from the mini skip, which is the least expensive option, all the way up to the 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container. If you need to have your skip placed on the highway or other council owned property, you will also need to factor in the additional expense of the skip permit.

• Household furniture
• Garden cuttings
• Top soil

• Bathroom suites
• Cabinets and units

The volume and materials you throw into the skip will vary according to which size skip you have hired. Skips have a maximum weight limit for safety reasons. So to be able to discard soil and bricks, as an example, the largest size container you will be allowed to hire will be the 8 yard skip.

What sort of materials am I not allowed to put in a skip?

There are a few waste items that you are not allowed to dump in your skip. The reason behind this is that some goods contain hazardous materials which may cause harm to the environment. They can also be harmful to human health, so they need to be disposed of separately within UK law.

Examples of the goods that are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas cylinders
• PC screens
• Battery packs
• Car tyres
• Chemical substances
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

We will make sure your skip is provided on the day requested, which in most cases is going to be Monday to Saturday. When you order prior to 3pm Monday to Friday, we can normally deliver your chosen skip the very next day.

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

You should make sure the skip lorry can access the delivery area, as a failed delivery effort will usually incur a charge for the wasted trip.

It is usually a good idea to be there when anyone delivers something to your property. That allows you to ensure there is access for your delivery, plus the skip can be dropped precisely where you want it.

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

Nonetheless, should it be unavoidable and gaining access is not a problem, you don’t have to be there when the skip is delivered.

With the help of a network of regional and national skip hire companies, we provide you with a totally nationwide service.
