Reliable skip hire in Thatcham.

If your skip is full and ready for collection, we will collect it and transport it to a nearby waste recycling station, where it will be processed. The rubbish will get sorted into various waste streams, such as timber, metals and paper. This helps to ensure as much of the waste is recycled as possible. Our company is very proud of our commitment to protecting the environment by sending as little to landfill as possible!

It is vital to never overload a skip. You can not pass the level load mark shown along the side of the skip. If your skip is overloaded, it becomes very unsafe to transport. Which means that if you overfill the skip, you could be required to take away the surplus rubbish. However secure you feel the skip is, it can not be collected if overloaded. This includes using old doors or any other large flat materials to build up around the waste. This can be unsafe and is therefore prohibited.

The mini skip is the most compact skip offered by skip firms and is perfect for small DIY jobs, house clearances and general tidy-ups. For the majority of firms, the mini skip is a 2 cubic yard skip, which can hold the equivalent of about 25 black bags worth of rubbish.

Instead of a 2 cubic yard skip, some skip firms offer a 3 yard as the smallest container. They will likely refer to this as being a mini skip, which may be slightly confusing. But rest assured, the actual 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 won’t make a difference.

This depends on where the skip is going to be positioned. You will only need a permit when it is positioned on public property, like a road, pavement or grass verge. You will not require a permit when your skip will be on your private property, such as a drive or within your business premises.

Should you have to get a permit, we will organise this on your behalf as part of the service. Simply let us know during the order process, and we will make the required arrangements with the local council. They do charge a fee for the permit, so if you can position your skip on your own land, you will save some money.

As the name implies, a builders skip is the size of skip most often used for building work. There are typically two skip sizes that may be described as a builder’s skip – the 6 cubic yard and 8 cubic yard skip. They are both heavy-duty containers which you can use to get rid of large volumes of building and demolition materials, such as dirt, concrete and stone.

Although they are labelled a builders skip, these can of course be used for multiple other domestic and business waste disposal tasks.

Virtually all containers can be supplied with a drop down door, which makes them easier to load. However, we cannot always guarantee this. If you require a skip that has a drop-down door, please tell us when placing your order, and then we can do our best to accommodate.

Having a skip with a drop-down door can make it easier to load waste materials into the container, particularly with weighty materials, such as garden soil and gravel, which can be walked in with a wheelbarrow. It also makes it easier to put in big and bulky objects, like furniture.

Our company offers a whole variety of skip sizes to residential and commercial customers all over the UK. We have a skip to suit all needs – from the humble 2 yard mini skip to the huge 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container.

Unfortunately this is not allowed, as electrical products like old televisions, fridge freezers, computers and computer monitors are classified as hazardous waste materials. Due to The Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electrical objects must be kept separate so that they can be recycled and disposed of in a secure and eco friendly way.

If you place your order before 3pm Monday to Friday, we can normally have your skip delivered the following day. In some instances, we will even offer a same-day delivery service. Availability and delivery dates are confirmed during the online order process.

If you operate a business in Thatcham and need to get rid of large amounts of light waste materials, a roll-on roll-off bin may be a great option. Available in 20 – 40 cubic yards, they are the biggest waste disposal containers that can be hired.

As the label suggests, these containers can be rolled off and on the lorry using a hook, unlike conventional skips, which are lifted by using chains.

Your skip may be used to dispose of a variety of types of waste. We are used to collecting and handling numerous materials generated from construction jobs, garden landscaping and house tidy-ups. Examples of allowed waste types include things like:

• Home furniture
• Hedge trimmings
• Top soil
• Stone
• Bathroom suites
• Kitchen cabinets and units

The majority of waste materials are generally permitted, and so whether you want to get rid of metals, plastics, wood or old toys, we can usually take your rubbish away.

The quantity and items you put in the skip will vary depending on the size skip you chosen. All skips have a weight limit for safety purposes. So if you need to dispose of soil and concrete, as an example, the biggest size container you would be able to hire will be the 8 cubic yard skip.

Is there anything that I can’t put in the skip?

There are some items that you will not be able to discard in your skip. The main reason for this is that these items incorporate hazardous materials which can be damaging to the environment. They may also be damaging to human health, therefore they need to be discarded separately within UK legislation.

Some of the products which are restricted include:

• Paint
• Solvents Refrigerators
• Gas canisters
• PC screens
• Battery packs
• Tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

You don’t really need to be at your property when your skip will be delivered, however it can help. Being in when your skip is being delivered means you can ensure the driver can be given complete access and that the skip is located exactly where you need it. Similarly, if the skip is hired to business property, we will appreciate your help at the time of delivery, especially if gates will restrict the lorry’s entry.
