Reliable skip hire in Whetstone.

If you are looking for a low cost skip to get rid of some household rubbish, the mini skip might be just what you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 cubic yard capacity (depending on your location), the mini skip is a cost-effective rubbish disposal choice to deal with many tasks.

A mini skip can fit on the smallest of drives but can also be located on the side of the road, subject to obtaining a skip permit.

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

Our goal is to provide the cheapest skip hire service in Whetstone. The price you pay will, of course, depend upon the size of skip you hire. It varies from the mini skip, which is the lowest priced choice, all the way up to the 40 yard RORO container. If you want to have the skip situated on the street or any other council owned property, you will also need to factor in the added expense of the skip permit.

We offer a nationwide skip hire and recycling service using a network of approved and fully licensed local partner companies. So whether you are interested in skip hire in Whetstone, Northolt, Notting Hill, Ilford or any other location in Greater London, we can assist.

Hiring a skip in Whetstone through us is very straightforward. Choose the skip size you require and then enter a couple of details about where and when you would like the skip to be delivered. You then pay for the skip using our safe and secure online payment system. We will send a confirmation email and then schedule to get your skip delivered on the date you have selected.

Unfortunately not. You can only load your skip up to the level load line. Piling rubbish up over this line makes it dangerous to move, and you might be asked to get rid of the surplus waste before your skip can be collected. This includes using doors, sheets of wood or other materials to increase the height of the skip. Again, this will make transportation of the skip dangerous and it could also make it overweight.

As we provide a UK-wide skip service, we use a diverse network of verified companies. These can range from small family-run skip hire companies to national waste management providers. Our service providers are vetted to guarantee they satisfy our high customer service and environmental expectations.

When you are getting a skip delivered to your home, it is usually best to be at home at the time the skip is delivered. You can then be sure the lorry has complete access and that the skip can be located exactly where you need it. The same is true for those who have a skip delivered to company premises, especially if gates limit access.

Having said that, if that is not feasible, you do not have to be concerned. Simply let us know when you are making your order, and then we will handle everything.

As soon as your skip is full and ready for collection, it will be transported to a local waste transfer station to be processed. The rubbish will be sorted into various waste streams, like timber, metals, paper, etc. This helps to ensure that the maximum amount of the rubbish as possible can be recycled, which is much better for the environment.

Due to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electronic items have to be kept separate from general waste to be reused, recycled or disposed of safely and securely. This can include all electric powered items including cookers, TVs, kettles, laptops and even hairdryers.

The name builder’s skip can refer to either the 8 or 6 cubic yard skip. These will be the largest skips that can be hired to discard heavy building waste such as rock, concrete, gravel or garden soil.

A builder’s skip is great for a variety of tasks. If you are getting an extension built, remodelling your kitchen or cleaning out your attic, these big skips will often be the most cost-effective choice available.

When it comes to ordering a skip in Whetstone, you will have several sizes to select from, which range from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 cubic yard container, often referred to as a mini skip, will be the smallest option available. This compact skip is great for modest house clearances and DIY tasks.

Our next size available is the 4 yard midi skip, that can contain the equivalent of roughly 35-40 bin bags of rubbish.

After the midi comes the builder’s skips, which are available in either 6 or 8 yards. These are the most frequent sizes ordered, as building contractors and tradespeople frequently use them. But their large capacity also makes them suitable for house clearances including large objects like furniture and beds.

We are able to provide 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard bins for customers with even larger waste disposal needs. These containers are only suited to light waste, so they can not be used to get rid of soil or concrete.

For more information about the various sizes available, such as dimensions, have a look at our help guide to skip sizes.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) skips are substantial commercial size skips used predominantly in the business sector. These come in 20-40 cubic yards, making them perfect for companies that generate significant amounts of waste materials.

You can use your skip to get rid of a variety of waste materials. We are used to picking up and handling a wide variety of materials produced from construction jobs, garden projects and house clearances. Some examples of allowed waste products include things like:

• Furniture
• Garden cuttings
• Soil
• Rubble
• Bathroom sinks and toilets
• Kitchen cabinets and units

Most waste types are generally allowed, so whether you would like to get rid of furniture, plastic materials, timber or clothing, we can normally take your rubbish away.

The quantity and waste types you throw in your skip will vary depending on which size skip you chosen. All skips do have a maximum weight limit for safety reasons. So to be able to discard garden soil and gravel, for example, the biggest size container you would be able to hire is the 8 yard skip.

Are there items that I can’t put in the skip?

There are some items you are not permitted to put in your skip. The reason behind this is that these items include hazardous elements which may damage the environment. They could also be hazardous to human health, so they must be disposed of separately under UK laws.

Some of the items that are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Refrigerators
• Gas cylinders
• Computer screens
• Battery packs
• Tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

When you place an order before 3pm Monday to Friday, we can usually have your skip delivered the following day. Sometimes, we will even give you a same-day delivery service. Availability and delivery days will be confirmed when going through the online order process.

Virtually all skips can be provided with a drop down door, which makes them easier to load. However, unfortunately 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 will do our very best to accommodate.

Having a skip that has a drop-down door makes it easier to load rubbish into the container, particularly with heavy materials, like soil and rubble, which can be walked in with a wheelbarrow. It also makes it easier to load big and bulky objects, like pieces of furniture.

You can usually have the skip for up to two weeks from your date of delivery. You can give a chosen collection date at the time you make your order. Otherwise, you can tell us when you have finished with the skip, and we will plan the collection. Normally, this will be the next working day, although it can occasionally take a bit longer during busy periods.

If at all possible, you want to have the skip left on a hard surface. For anyone who is carrying out a household project, then your drive will be perfect. When it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the way to go. Having said that, if neither option is available, the street or grass verge could be your only choice. As this is public property, you need to get a permit from your local council. This is called a skip permit, and will be necessary for a skip to be dropped on the road, grass verge or other public property in Whetstone. If this is required, we will request the permit to be issued for you. An extra charge, paid to the local council, will be added to the price of your skip.
