Stretford Skip Hire FAQs

What sizes do roll-on roll-off skips come in?

If you have a company in Stretford and need to get rid of large quantities of light waste, a roll-on roll-off container might be a fantastic choice. Offered in 20 to 40 yards, they are the biggest waste disposal skips that are available.

As the label implies, these containers are rolled on and off the lorry with a hook, in contrast to conventional skips, which are picked up by using chains.

How much does it cost to hire a skip in Stretford?

The price of hiring a skip in Stretford is determined by the size of skip you want. The cheapest skip available is the 2 cubic yard mini skip, which is suited to small DIY projects and general clearances. If you want a bigger skip, such as an 8 yard builders skip, it will naturally cost more. The cost will also increase if you want to have your skip positioned on the highway, because you will require a skip permit, which the council charge a fee for.

Can you deliver skips across Greater Manchester?

We offer a national skip hire and waste management service by using a network of approved and fully licensed local partner companies. So whether you want skip hire in Stretford, Shaw, Rochdale, Ince-in-Makerfield or any other location in Greater Manchester, we are able to assist.

What kinds of rubbish am I allowed to throw in a skip?

This is amongst the most common questions people have about skip hire. The most important thing to consider is that you can load your skip with a wide range of different materials. After all, there are many kinds of waste that may result from garden projects, construction work and home clearances.

Some of the most frequent items that we find in our skips include dirt, timber, bush cuttings, cupboards, bathroom suites, and various household products.

However, there are some materials that you are not allowed to throw in the skip. This consists of any electronic goods (fridge freezers, televisions and cookers for example), tyres, asbestos materials, plasterboard and paint. These are all considered hazardous waste materials, and therefore getting rid of them must comply with a completely different procedure to ensure they do not cause harm to the environment.

Will a skip hire company from Stretford deliver my skip?

We use a network of both local and national skip hire businesses to supply skips to our customers in Stretford and the rest of the UK. Each of our partner companies are verified and evaluated to make certain they match our expectations for price, customer service, recycling rates and reliability.

When will the skip be delivered to me?

We can typically deliver skips to Stretford the next working day when your order is placed before 3pm. This is applicable to orders made between Monday and Friday.

Our simple online booking system offers you a range of delivery dates to select from. So whether you want a skip delivered asap or want to schedule delivery for a later date, it’s not an issue.

Do I need to be at home when my skip is delivered?

When you are getting a skip delivered to your home, it is usually best to be there on the day it is delivered. Then you can be sure the lorry has total access and that the skip is situated precisely where you need it. This also is applicable for those who have a skip delivered to company premises, particularly if gates restrict access.

Having said that, when this is not feasible, you don’t need to stress. Just tell us when you are placing your booking, and then we will take care of the rest.

How big is a builder’s skip?

The builders skip can refer to either the 6 or 8 cubic yard skip. They are the biggest skips that can be hired to get rid of weighty building waste materials such as rock, concrete, gravel or dirt.

A builders skip is ideal for a variety of projects. Whether you are having an extension built, renovating your bathroom or cleaning out your loft, these big skips are often the most cost-effective solution available.

Do I require permission to get a skip delivered on the road in Stretford?

In the majority of situations, your skip can be delivered onto your driveway, the highway, pathway or grass verge and deliveries can be made to your house or workplace. If you want the skip to be positioned on land outside of your business or residence, you have got to get permission from your local authority in Stretford, which is known as a permit. If required, we will gladly organise this on your behalf, so it’s one less point to worry about. The local authority does charge a fee for the permit, and you should know before booking that securing the licence can often take up to 2 working days.

Which skip sizes have a drop door?

For anybody who is hiring a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will have a drop-down door. This is made for disposing of hefty building and demolition waste materials, as it can be walked into the skip using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 yarders also feature a drop-down door, however these are less common. Simply because these sizes are generally small enough at the ends for you to tip a wheelbarrow of waste into them.

If you need a drop door for your job, please tell us when placing your order. We will do our utmost to ensure a container which has a drop door is supplied.

How many different skip sizes are there?

Our company offers a full variety of skip sizes to domestic and industrial clients throughout the UK. We have a skip to match all needs – from the humble 2 cubic yard mini skip to the huge 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container.

Here are the different skip sizes to choose from, with a rough idea of how much waste each size is capable of holding:

  • 2 Cubic Yard – 20-30 bin bags
  • 4 Cubic Yard – 30-40 bin bags
  • 6 Cubic Yard – 50-60 bin bags
  • 8 Cubic Yard – 60-80 bin bags

How long can I keep the skip for?

You can usually hire a skip for up to two weeks from the day that it is delivered to you. To ensure that the collection will be as convenient as possible, you have the option of giving a preferred collection date when placing your order.

Alternatively, simply tell us when you have finished loading up the skip, and we will arrange to pick up sooner – in many cases, it will be the next working day.

It may take a little while longer to pick up your skip during busy periods, but we will always endeavour to be there as swiftly as possible.

What happens to the rubbish in my skip once I have finished?

The contents of your skip will be taken to a local waste recycling centre. Here the contents will be segregated by machinery and also by hand into numerous waste materials, like soil, paper, concrete and timber. Processing the waste in this manner helps to maximise the amount which can be reused and recycled. Our aim and commitment is always to maximise the amount of waste that is recycled and minimise the volume of waste that has to go in landfill.

Is it okay to stack up the waste in my skip?

I’m afraid not. You can only pack your skip up to the level load mark. Stacking waste up above this line will make it dangerous to move, and you might be asked to get rid of the surplus waste before your skip can be picked up. This includes the use of doors, or any other materials to raise the skip height. Again, this can make transportation of the skip dangerous and can also make it overweight.

What is a mini skip?

For those who 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 company to company, depending on what sizes they provide.

2 cubic yards is the most popular size for the mini skip. However, some firms choose to have a 3 cubic yard container for their smallest option. Price is based on the particular size you order, rather than the term “mini skip”.

Mini skips are best for household jobs like small DIY projects and garage clean ups. If you need it positioned on your driveway and want room to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a great choice.

Am I allowed to put electrical items in my skip?

Due to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electronic goods need to be kept separate from general rubbish to get recycled or disposed of safely and securely. This can include all electronic items such as tumble dryers, TVs, kettles, tablets and even hair straighteners.

Other areas covered include Shaw, Rochdale, Ince-in-Makerfield, Bramhall, Hale, Oldham, Urmston and Ashton-in-Makerfield.
