Walton-on-the-Naze Skip Hire FAQs

How fast can you deliver a skip in Walton-on-the-Naze?

We will make sure your skip is delivered when requested, which in most cases will be Monday to Saturday. For those who place an order prior to 3pm Monday to Friday, we can usually deliver your chosen skip the next day.

Although we are not able to promise a precise delivery time, we will do our best to reach you within either an AM or PM slot of your choosing.

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

Am I able to get rid of electrical items in my skip?

No, you cannot dispose of old or broken electrical waste items in your skip. This includes things such as laptops or computers, hobs, tumble dryers, freezers and tv sets. Electrical items can’t be discarded in your skip as they can have hazardous materials and components.

Due to the 2003 WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electronic goods cannot go to landfill and must be recycled.

How can I hire a skip?

This is the easy part. First, choose the skip size you wish to hire. Let us know whether the skip will be going on private property (a driveway, for example) or on council property (like the road). After that, pick the date you need the skip to get delivered. Confirm your order and make payment with our safe and secure online payment system. All done! We will deliver your skip to Walton-on-the-Naze on the day you have chosen.

What is a roll-on roll-off container?

The RORO (roll-on roll-off) is a substantial container used to transport significant volumes of waste. Generally, these type of containers are used for business uses. However, household customers may also order them. It is important to think about the space they will take up, since they measure between 20 to 40 cubic yards. Due to this, they must only be used for light waste like paper, timber and cardboard, and are not suitable for the disposal of dirt and stone.

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

It is essential not to overload your skip. You can not pass the level load mark shown along the side of the skip. When the skip is overloaded, it will become very hazardous to transport. This means that when you overfill the skip, you might be asked to take off the excess waste. Regardless of how safe you think the skip to be, it cannot be picked up if overloaded. This includes using old doors or any other large flat pieces to build up around the rubbish. This can be hazardous and is not allowed.

How long am I able to hire the skip for?

You can normally keep a skip for up to 14 days from the date that it is delivered. To ensure the pick up is as convenient as possible, you will have the choice of offering a preferred collection date when making your order.

Alternatively, simply let us know when you’ve finished with the skip, and we will arrange to collect sooner – in the majority of circumstances, it will be the following working day.

It might take a bit longer to collect your skip over busy periods, but we will always endeavour to come as quickly as possible.

Do I have to be there whenever the skip is delivered?

It usually is best if you can be there when anybody delivers anything to your home. You can then ensure there is access for your delivery, plus the skip can be positioned exactly where you want it.

The same thing applies if you have a company. If you have a gate or security, it might not be possible to have a skip delivered if you are not present.

Nonetheless, if it is unavoidable and the access is not a problem, you do not have to be there when the skip is being delivered.

How many different skip sizes are there?

Below are the various skip sizes offered, with a rough idea of the amount of rubbish each size is capable of holding:

Can I have a skip which has a drop down door?

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

Having a skip with a drop door is mainly beneficial if you are choosing a large builder’s skip, since it allows you to wheelbarrow rubbish directly into the skip. This is not so 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.

What waste am I allowed to put in my skip?

Before you hire a skip, you must ensure that the type of rubbish you need to get rid of is actually allowed to go in the skip. Some objects and materials need to be kept separate and can’t be mixed with general waste. This is a legal requirement that aims to help protect the environment.

A few examples of waste types you could throw in a skip include household goods like pieces of furniture, floor tiles, cabinets, garden waste and plastics. You can also use a skip to dispose of building and construction rubbish, including timber, soil, stone, metals and concrete.

Examples of forbidden items include things like electrical goods, tyres, old paint, chemical substances, batteries and plasterboard. These are all considered hazardous waste materials and therefore must be disposed of separately from your general waste.

Can I have a skip delivered on the road in Walton-on-the-Naze?

This depends upon where the skip will be located. You will only require a skip permit if it is placed on public property, like a street, pavement or grass verge. You do not need a permit if the skip will be on private property, like a driveway or inside your company premises.

If you have to get a permit, we will arrange this for you as part of the service. Simply tell us while completing the order process, so we will make the required arrangements with the local authority. They will charge a fee for the permit, so if you can locate your skip on private property, it will save you some pounds.

What will happen to the rubbish?

As soon as your skip is full and ready for collection, we will collect it and take it to a local waste recycling station, where it will be processed. The waste will get segregated into several different waste types, such as timber, soil and cardboard. This helps to ensure as much of the rubbish can be recycled as possible. Our company is very proud of our dedication to protecting the environment by sending as little waste to landfill as possible!

Do you deliver to other areas in Essex?

Yes. We can supply skips to cities, towns and villages across the UK. By utilising a network of verified waste management providers, we can supply skips to both domestic and commercial customers throughout Essex and anywhere else in the UK.

How big is the mini skip?

When you have a small amount of rubbish to dispose of, the mini skip could be the best choice. What size is identified as a mini skip is different from company to company, dependant upon what sizes they offer.

The most common size for the mini skip is 2 cubic yards. However, some companies choose to provide a 3 cubic yard skip for their smallest option. Price is dependent on the actual size you order, instead of the term “mini skip”.

Mini skips are best for household tasks such as modest DIY projects and garage tidy ups. If you need it put on your driveway and want space to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them the best choice.

Will a Walton-on-the-Naze skip hire company deliver my skip?

Each of our partner skip hire companies are verified and tested to make certain they meet our standards for cost, customer service, recycling and reliability.

What size is a builder’s skip?

The builder’s skip is the most frequent skip that is hired in the UK. Coming in either a 6 or 8 cubic yard capacity, a builder’s skip is great for most building and demolition jobs, which is where the label stems from.

The 8 yard builders skip is the largest size that you can use for hefty waste materials like dirt, concrete, rock and rubble.

Other areas covered include Colchester, Manningtree, Brentwood, Theydon Bois, Rochford, Burnham-on-Crouch, Corringham and Witham.
