Reliable skip hire in Watford.

In the majority of cases, your skip can be delivered on your driveway, the street, path or grass verge and deliveries can be made to your home or place of work. If you want your skip to be situated on land outside of your company or residence, you must obtain authorisation from your local authority in Watford, which is known as a permit. If necessary, we will be happy to organise this for you, therefore it’s one less issue to worry about. The local authority does charge a fee for your skip license, plus you should be aware before placing your order that getting the licence can often take up to two working days.

A local skip hire company will most likely deliver your skip in Watford. We employ a network of both regional and national businesses to enable us to offer our service to customers across the whole of the UK. These companies are fully vetted to be sure they satisfy the high standards we require in terms of customer service, cost and environmental performance.

A skip may be used to dispose of a variety of types of waste materials. We are used to picking up and processing numerous materials from building work, garden landscaping and property clearances. A few examples of allowed waste products include:

• Furniture
• Tree cuttings
• Top soil
• Stone
• Bathroom toilets and sinks
• Cabinets and units

Most waste types are usually permitted, so whether you want to throw out metals, plastic materials, wood or textiles, we can usually take your rubbish away.

The volume and materials you discard in your skip will vary depending on the size skip you chosen. All skips have a weight limit for safety reasons. So if you want to get rid of soil and rubble, as an example, the biggest size container you will be able to hire would be the 8 cubic yard skip.

What sort of items am I not allowed to put in the skip?

There are some waste items you are not able to get rid of in the skip. The main reason for this is that these products include hazardous elements which may cause harm to the environment. They could also be dangerous to human health, so they must be disposed of separately under UK laws.

Some examples of the products which are restricted include:

• Paint tins
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas canisters
• Computer monitors
• Battery packs
• Car tyres
• Chemical substances
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

The items in your skip will be taken to the local waste transfer facility. Here the waste will be segregated by machinery and also by hand into numerous waste streams, such as soil, plastics, stone and timber. Processing the rubbish in this way helps to increase the quantity that can be reused and recycled. Our goal and dedication is always to maximise the amount of waste that is recycled and minimise the volume of waste that has to go in landfill.

In general, the majority of skips can be provided with a hinged door, depending on skip size, availability and area. If you need a drop down door, please tell us when ordering your skip.

Ordering a skip that has a drop door is mainly beneficial when you are choosing a large builder’s skip, as it lets you wheelbarrow your waste directly into the skip. This isn’t 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.

You can normally have a skip for as many as 14 days from your date of delivery. You can provide a chosen collection day at the time you confirm your order. Alternatively, you can let us know once you have finished, and then we will plan the collection. In most cases, this will be the next business day, although it can sometimes take slightly longer during hectic periods.

The term builders skip can relate to two sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 cubic yard skip. The term comes from the fact that these are the most frequent sizes that are ordered by builders and tradespeople.

These substantial containers are suitable for an array of household and business projects. These are the biggest skips which can be used for weighty builders waste including dirt, stone and gravel.

No, you don’t need to be home when we are delivering the skip. Provided that we are able to gain access to the place you need it positioned, we will manage it all.

For those who are not likely to be at home, just let us have any relevant delivery directions when you book the order. For instance, you may prefer the skip to be located at a particular area of the drive. Alternatively, you may want to make sure the skip doesn’t prevent access to your garage.

No matter what the case might be, tell us when ordering, and we will ensure the directions will be passed to the delivery driver.

No, you cannot throw old electrical waste items in your skip. This can include things such as printers, cookers, dishwashers, freezers and tv sets. Electric products can’t be thrown in your skip as they can contain hazardous materials and components.

Due to the 2003 WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electronic items cannot be sent to landfill and must be reused or recycled.

This is determined by the size you want and if you will require a council permit. As you would expect, the smallest skip (the 2 yard mini skip) will be the lowest priced choice. The most costly and largest choice is the 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container, which is used mainly in business settings.

If you are looking for a cheap skip to dispose of some household waste, the mini skip may be just the thing you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 yard capacity (depending on location), the mini skip is a cost-effective waste disposal option to deal with numerous jobs.

Although most frequently chosen by household customers, the mini skip can also tackle small commercial jobs.
