We have built our booking process with speed and simplicity at its core. The first task is to enter your postcode to check out all the different skip sizes we are able to deliver in Westhoughton. Select the right size to meet your requirements and give us the details of when and where you need your skip to be delivered. After that you can make payment with our secure payment system, and we will send an email to verify your order once your booking is done!

When your skip is full and prepared for collection, it will be taken to a nearby waste transfer station to be processed. The waste will be sorted into the various waste materials, such as timber, cardboard, plastics, etc. This makes sure that the maximum amount of the waste as possible is recycled, which is much better for the environment.

No, you can only fill up your skip up to the level load mark. Stacking waste materials up above this line would make it dangerous to transport, and you may be told to take away the excess waste before the skip can be collected. This includes the use of doors, or any other objects to raise the skip height. Again, this can make transportation of the skip dangerous and can also make it overweight.

Ideally, you should have the skip dropped on a hard surface. If you are doing a residential job, then the driveway is going to be ideal. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the way to go. On the other hand, when neither is available, the street or grass verge might be your only option. As this is public property, you need to have a permit from the local authority. This is known as a skip permit, and will be necessary for a skip to be dropped on a street, grass verge or any other public property in Westhoughton. If this is needed, we will arrange for the permit to be granted for you. An additional cost, paid to the local council, will be added to the price of your chosen skip size.

You can generally keep your skip for up to a fortnight from the day that it is delivered to you. To ensure that the pick up is as convenient as possible, you have the option of giving a preferred collection day when you make your order.

Alternatively, just let us know when you have finished with your skip, and we will arrange to pick up sooner – in the vast majority of circumstances, it will be the following working day.

It could take a little bit longer to collect your skip over busy times, however we will always endeavour to be there as quickly as possible.

You don’t have to be at home when the skip is delivered, however it can help. Being home when the skip is delivered means that you can ensure the delivery driver is given full access and that your skip will be located exactly where you need it. Likewise, if the skip is delivered to your business property, we will appreciate your support during the time of delivery, especially if gates restrict the lorry’s entry.

Having said that, when you can’t be around for the delivery, there is no need to worry. We simply ask that you let us know when you place the order, and we will organise things from there.

The name builder’s skip can refer to either the 8 or 6 yard skip. These will be the largest skips that can be used to dispose of weighty building and demolition materials such as rock, bricks, rubble or dirt.

The builders skip is ideal for a wide array of projects. Whether you are getting an extension built, renovating your kitchen or clearing out the shed, these large containers tend to be the most cost-effective solution available.

As we offer a national waste management service, we use a comprehensive network of verified businesses. These can vary from small family-run skip hire businesses to national waste management providers. Every one of our service providers are vetted to guarantee they meet our high customer service and environmental expectations.

Before getting a skip, it is important to make sure that the kind of rubbish you wish to dispose of is allowed to go in the skip. Some goods and materials need to be kept separate and are not allowed to be mixed with general waste. This is a legal requirement designed to help protect the environment.

Examples of waste types you may throw in a skip include home goods like furniture, ceramic tiles, cabinets, garden waste and clothing. You can also use a skip to throw out building and construction rubbish, such as old bricks, soil, rubble, metals and gravel.

Some examples of prohibited items include electronic products, tyres, paint, chemical substances, batteries and plasterboard. These are all classed as hazardous waste and subsequently need to be discarded separately from any general rubbish.

If you place an order before 3pm Monday to Friday, we can typically have your skip delivered the next day. Sometimes, we can even give you a same-day delivery option. Availability and delivery dates will be confirmed as part of the online order process.

If you are searching for a low cost skip to get rid of some household rubbish, a mini skip might be just the thing you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 yard capacity (based upon location), the mini skip is a cost-effective rubbish disposal solution to deal with numerous tasks.

The mini skip can fit on the smallest of driveways but can equally be located on the side of the street, subject to obtaining a skip permit from the council.

Although most frequently hired by domestic customers, the mini skip can even handle smaller commercial jobs.

If you manage a company in Westhoughton and wish to dispose of substantial quantities of light waste, a roll-on roll-off skip might be a fantastic choice. Offered in 20 to 40 yards, these are the biggest waste disposal containers on the market.

As the name indicates, these type of containers can be rolled on and off the lorry using a hook, in contrast to regular skips, that are picked up using chains.

We supply a full range of skip sizes to meet your particular requirements, from 2 to 40 cubic yards. Our smallest available skip is the 2 yard mini skip, a compact skip great for modest DIY projects and domestic clearances. A common option for bigger jobs, renovations and building work is the 8 cubic yard skip.

For Westhoughton businesses which generate a significant volume of bulky waste materials, we can offer RoRo containers (roll on roll off skips), ranging from 20-40 cubic yards in size.

Should you need help deciding on which size skip you require, take a look at our useful skip size comparison.

The price of getting a skip in Westhoughton depends on the size of skip you require. The lowest priced skip available is the 2 yard mini skip, which is suited to small DIY projects and general clearances. If you want a larger skip, like an 8 cubic yard builders skip, it will naturally be more expensive. The cost will also be more if you need to have a skip positioned on the road, as you will need a permit, which the local authority charge a fee for.

Generally, almost all skips can be provided with a hinged door, depending on skip size, availability and area. If you require a drop-down door, please tell us when ordering your skip.

Ordering a skip that has a drop door is mainly beneficial if hiring a large builder’s skip, since it means that you can wheelbarrow waste straight into the skip. This is not as important for midi and mini skips, since they are small enough at the ends for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

No, you can not put old or broken electrical waste products in your skip. This includes items like laptops or computers, microwaves, tumble dryers, fridges and television sets. These items can’t be discarded in the skip since they can include hazardous materials and components.

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