Tredegar Skip Hire FAQs

Do I require approval to get a skip delivered on the street in Tredegar?

Usually, it is possible to get your skip placed on the road, pavement or grass verge outside of your house or business. But to get this done, you need to get consent from your local council in Tredegar, which is known as a skip permit. We will order this for you, so you don’t need to worry. The local authority do impose a fee for this permit, and it can sometimes take 24-2 days for them to approve this.

Can you deliver to other areas in Gwent?

Certainly, we can offer a national skip hire and waste management service. We can deliver skips to locations across Gwent, including Tredegar, Newbridge, Bargod and Rhymney. So no matter where you require a skip to be delivered, we have got it covered.

Can I throw away electrical items in the skip?

As a result of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electronic items must be kept separate from general waste materials to get recycled, reused or disposed of safely and securely. This includes all electronic items including tumble dryers, televisions, toasters, laptops and even hair straighteners.

What is the size of a builder’s skip?

The phrase builders skip can mean two different sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 cubic yard skip. The term comes from the fact that these are the most popular sizes that are used by builders and tradespeople.

These big containers are fantastic for a wide variety of domestic and commercial jobs. They are the largest sizes which can be used for hefty builders waste such as dirt, stone and concrete.

Is it okay to stack up waste in my skip?

I’m afraid not. You are only allowed to fill up your skip up to the level load line. Stacking rubbish up over this line will make it unsafe to move, and you could be asked to take away the extra waste before your skip can be removed. This includes using doors, or other materials to increase the skip height. Again, this will make transportation of the skip dangerous and can also make it overweight.

When will my skip be delivered?

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

Although we cannot guarantee an exact delivery time, we will do our very best to arrive within either an AM or PM slot of your choosing.

You should ensure the skip lorry can access the delivery area, as a failed delivery effort will normally incur a fee for the wasted trip.

What kinds of waste can you put in a skip?

You can use a skip to discard a variety of waste types. We are used to picking up and processing a wide variety of materials from construction work, garden landscaping and property tidy-ups. Examples of allowed waste materials include:

  • Furniture
  • Hedge trimmings
  • Garden soil
  • Hardcore
  • Bathroom toilets and sinks
  • Cabinets and units

The majority of waste materials will be accepted, therefore whether you want to throw out metals, plastic materials, wood or fabric, we can normally take your waste away.

The quantity and things you throw into the skip will vary according to the size skip you have hired. All skips have a maximum weight limit for safety purposes. So if you need to get rid of soil and rubble, for example, the largest size you would be able to hire would be the 8 yard skip.

Are there items which I can’t discard in the skip?

There are some materials you will not be permitted to put in the skip. The reason behind this is that some products include hazardous components which can be harmful to the environment. They may also be hazardous to human health, and so they need to be discarded separately under UK law.

A few of the products that are restricted include:

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

Do all skips have a drop door?

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

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

How large is a roll-on roll-off container?

A roll-on roll-off skip, sometimes known as a RORO, is a massive container that is used to dispose of large amounts of waste. These containers are predominantly for business use but can be hired by household customers also. However, you will want a good amount of space since these skips range from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which is much bigger than the average skip you will likely see on the roadside.

Due to the size, roll-on roll-off containers can only be used for lightweight materials such as plastics, timber and cardboard, so they are not appropriate for disposing of concrete and bricks.

How much waste can a mini skip hold?

If you have a small quantity of waste to throw out, the mini skip may be the best choice. What size is referred to as a mini skip is different from company to company, determined by what sizes they provide.

The most common size for a mini skip is 2 cubic yards. However, some companies choose to provide a 3 yard container as their smallest option. The cost depends on the actual size you order, rather than the term “mini skip”.

Mini skips are good for household work such as small DIY projects and garage tidy ups. If you need it placed on your driveway and want room to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a great choice.

Do I have to be home when the skip is delivered?

It usually is best if you can be there when anyone delivers something to your property. You can then make sure there is sufficient access for your delivery, and the skip can be positioned exactly where you need it.

The same goes if you have a business. If there is a gate or security, it might not be possible to have a skip delivered when you are not there.
