Reliable skip hire in Tadcaster.

Skips come in a number of different sizes to suit various waste disposal needs. They are measured by volume, generally in cubic yards. The smallest of which is the 2 cubic yard skip, also known as the mini skip. It will hold roughly 25 bin bags of rubbish, which is perfect for small domestic projects.

The next size up is the 4 cubic yard skip, which can be used to hold around 35 black bags of rubbish. This skip is roughly the size of a small car and is sometimes described as a midi skip. The 4 yard is a good choice for shed clearances and home refurbishment jobs.

Should you have a more significant waste disposal job to handle, a builder’s skip might be the smartest choice. These are available in both 6 and 8 cubic yards. As the label suggests, they are the most common sizes hired by builders for building and demolition waste, like soil and hardcore. However they can just as well be hired for household waste such as outdated furniture or bathroom suites.

We can also offer 10-16 cubic yard skips and industrial 20-40 cubic yard RORO containers. To get more information about the range of skip sizes we have available, please click the link below.

Guide to skip sizes

For those who have a small quantity of waste to get rid of, the mini skip might be the perfect choice. What size is known as a mini skip differs from company to company, determined by what sizes they offer.

2 cubic yards is the most common size for the mini skip. However, some firms choose to have a 3 yard skip for their smallest option. The price is dependent on the specific size you order, rather than the term “mini skip”.

Mini skips are best for residential tasks including small DIY projects and garden shed clean ups. If you want it put on your driveway and need room to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them the best choice.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) containers are huge commercial size skips that are used mainly in the commercial sector. They are available in 20-40 cubic yards, making them ideal for organisations that produce large amounts of waste materials.

Certainly, we offer a national skip hire and waste management service. We can deliver our range of skip sizes to areas across North Yorkshire, such as Tadcaster, Thornaby-on-Tees, Thirsk and Scarborough. So no matter where you require a skip to be delivered, we have got it covered.

Unfortunately not. You can only fill up the skip up to the level load mark. Loading waste materials up over this line would make it dangerous to transport, and you could be asked to remove the extra waste before the skip can be collected. This includes using doors, or any other materials to increase the height of the skip. Again, this will make transportation of the skip dangerous and it could also make it overweight.

Electric powered products like televisions, freezers, fridges, computers, monitors and tumble dryers are classed as a hazardous type of waste and therefore should not be put in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 requires that electric powered items need to be separated from other materials. This ensures they can be reused, recycled and disposed of within the safest and most eco-friendly way.

No, you do not need to be at home when we are delivering the skip. As long as we are able to gain access to the place you want it positioned, we are able to manage everything.

For those who will not be in, just let us have any relevant delivery instructions when you book the order. For instance, you might need the skip to be positioned at a particular area of your drive. Alternatively, you may want to ensure the skip does not prevent use of your garage.

No matter what the situation may be, simply tell us when you place your order, and then we will ensure the directions will be passed on to the delivery driver.

Typically, nearly all skips can be provided with a drop down door, dependant upon size, availability and area. If you require a drop down door, be sure to tell us when ordering your skip.

Ordering a skip with a drop door is mainly useful when hiring a large builder’s skip, because it allows you to wheelbarrow your waste into the skip. This isn’t as important for midi and mini skips, as they are lower enough at the edges for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

The standard hire time frame is a fortnight from your date of delivery. Having said that, at the time you order your skip, you can provide a pick up date that is best for you. Obviously, there is a chance that you just won’t know how long your project will take. So if the skip is full earlier than anticipated, let us know, and we will collect it as quickly as possible.

We will normally be out to get your skip within 48 hours. Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that this may not be possible during busier periods. Once collected, the waste will be transported to your local waste recycling facility, where the waste will be processed and sorted.

This is one of the most popular questions people have about hiring a skip. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you may load your skip with a wide variety of different materials. After all, there are so many types of waste that will come from garden work, building work and house clearances.

Some of the most typical things which we see in our skips include dirt, timber, hedge trimmings, cupboards, sinks, as well as other household products.

There are some things that you are not allowed to discard in your skip. This includes any electrical items (fridge freezers, monitors and cookers for example), tyres, sheets of asbestos, plasterboard and chemicals. They are all regarded as hazardous waste materials, and so disposing of them must abide by an entirely different procedure to make sure they don’t cause damage to the environment.

If possible, you should have the skip left on a hard surface area. If you are doing a residential project, then your driveway is going to be ideal. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the way to go. Having said that, when neither option is available, the road or grass verge might be your only option. As this is public property, you must have a permit from the local council. This is known as a skip permit, and will be necessary for a skip to be positioned on the road, grass verge as well as other public property in Tadcaster. If this is needed, we will arrange for the permit to be granted on your behalf. An additional charge, paid to the local authority, will be added to the price of your skip.

The builder’s skip is the most frequent skip which is ordered across the country. Offered in either a 6 or 8 yard capacity, a builders skip is perfect for most building work, which is where the name originates from.

The 8 yd builder’s skip is the largest size that can be used for hefty materials including garden soil, concrete, rock and rubble.

As soon as your skip is full and ready for collection, it will be taken to a nearby waste transfer station to be processed. The rubbish will be separated into various waste streams, such as wood, metals, plastics, etc. This means that as much of the rubbish as possible is recycled, which is much better for the environment.

We will ask you to confirm when you want your skip to be delivered during the order process, and we’ll ensure that it’s with you on the day that you’ve asked for. The vast majority of our deliveries are made between Monday and Saturday.

If you complete your order prior to 3pm Monday to Friday, we can normally have the skip delivered to you the following day.

Although we can’t promise what time we will arrive with your skip, we strive to provide a morning or afternoon delivery slot to manage your day more easily.

All we request is that you make sure the delivery lorry can access your required delivery spot, as unsuccessful delivery attempts will result in a charge for a wasted trip.
