For anybody who is ordering a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will come with a drop-down door. This is made for getting rid of hefty building and demolition waste, as it can be pushed in the skip by using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 yarders also have a drop door, though they are more uncommon. The reason being these sizes are generally low enough at the ends to be able to tip a wheelbarrow of waste materials into them.

If you prefer a drop door for your job, tell us when ordering. We will do our best to make sure a skip which has a drop door is delivered.

The builders skip is the most frequent skip which is hired in the UK. Offered in either a 6 or 8 cubic yard capacity, the builder’s skip is ideal for most building and construction jobs, which is where the name originates from.

The mini skip will be the most compact size available from skip companies and is perfect for smaller DIY jobs, garage clearances and general tidy-ups. For the majority of companies, the mini skip is a 2 yard skip, which can hold the equivalent of around 25 black bags worth of waste.

Instead of a 2 cubic yard skip, some skip firms offer a 3 yard as their smallest container. They will likely refer to this as the mini skip, which may 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 branded as being a mini skip or not will not make any difference.

This is the easy part. First, choose the skip size you would like to hire. Tell us whether the skip shall be going on your own property (a driveway, for example) or local authority property (like the street). Next, pick the day you need the skip to get delivered. Confirm your order details and make payment with our secure online payment platform. Order complete! We will deliver your skip to Sittingbourne on the day you have selected.

Make sure you don’t overfill the skip as this makes it dangerous to transport, and you will be asked to empty any contents higher than the level load line. This means that you cannot use sheets of timber, doors or another item, since this will artificially increase the height of the skip. Skip companies have a legal duty to make sure that bins aren’t overfilled or overweight before transporting them.

Please be sure to choose the appropriate size of skip to suit your needs and get in contact if you’re not sure which size you need. We would be pleased to help.

You can typically keep the skip for up to a fortnight from the date that it is delivered. To ensure that the pick up is as convenient as possible, you will have the choice of providing a preferred collection time when you make your order.

Our next available size is the 4 yard midi skip, which can hold the equivalent of approximately 35-40 bin bags of rubbish.

After the midi are the builder’s skips, which are available in either 6 or 8 cubic yards. They are the most popular sizes hired, as building contractors and tradespeople frequently use them. However their big capacity also means they are ideal for house clear ups involving large objects like pieces of furniture and beds.

We will provide 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard skips for those with even larger rubbish disposal requirements. These containers are only suitable for light materials, so they cannot be used to dispose of soil or rubble.

You can throw a wide array of waste types into your skip. This can include timber, tile, plastics or concrete from a property clearance. Shrub and bush clippings, dirt and rock from garden work is permitted as well. Dated units from your kitchen and old bathroom fittings can also go in your skip.

However, there are some items that can’t be put in a skip because of the potential ecological or health risks they may cause.

You can’t throw out your freezer, printer or car tyres. Chemical waste, asbestos or paint is also prohibited in the skip. Each of these items include hazardous elements in one form or another. They must be disposed of separately from general rubbish.

If you want hazardous waste removal, we might be able to organise an independent collection for this material. Feel free to get in touch for additional information. Alternatively, if you are a residential customer, you may be able to take this sort of waste to your local council run recycling facility.

When your skip is full and ready for collection, we will pick it up and take it to a nearby waste recycling centre, where it will be processed. The rubbish gets sorted into several different waste types, such as stone, soil and plastic materials. This helps to ensure that as much of the collection is recycled as possible. We are proud of our dedication to minimising environmental impact by sending as little waste to landfill as possible!

Due to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electronic objects must be kept separate from general rubbish to be recycled, reused or disposed of safely and securely. This includes all electronic products such as tumble dryers, monitors, toasters, laptops and even hair straighteners.
