Reliable skip hire in Wivenhoe.

To offer a complete skip hire and waste management service throughout the UK, we work with a wide range of local and nationwide companies. This enables us to cover all corners of the UK and helps to ensure we can offer customers with the most affordable and trusted skip hire service.

A roll-on roll-off skip (RORO) is a large container that can be used to transport large volumes of waste. Predominantly, these type of skips are hired for commercial purposes. However, domestic clients may also use them. It is essential to look at the area they take up, because they measure between 20 to 40 cubic yards. Due to this, they should only be hired for lightweight materials like paper, wood and cardboard, and are not appropriate for the disposal of soil and concrete.

This will depend on where the skip is going to be positioned. You will only need a skip permit when it is positioned on public property, such as a road, pavement or grass verge. You will not need to have a permit if the skip is on private property, like a drive or inside your company premises.

If you do have to get a permit, we can arrange this for you as part of the service. Just let us know as part of the order process, and then we can make the required arrangements with the local council. They do charge a fee for the permit, so if you can position the skip on your own property, it will save you some money.

You are allowed to throw a wide array of rubbish into the skip. This includes wood, tile, plastics or rubble from a house clearance. Shrub and bush clippings, soil and rock from garden jobs are permitted as well. Worktops and units from your kitchen and old bathroom fixtures may also go in the skip.

However, there are a few items that you cannot put in a skip because of the potential environment or health risk they may trigger.

You are unable to throw out your refrigerator, laptop or car tyres. Paint, chemicals and asbestos is also prohibited in the skip. Each of these items incorporate hazardous elements in one form or another. They need to be disposed of separately from your general waste.

Should you require hazardous waste disposal, we might be able to schedule a separate service for this waste. Feel free to get in touch for further details. Alternatively, if you are a residential customer, you may be able to take this type of waste to your local council managed recycling facility.

For anybody who is ordering a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will include a drop-down door. This is made for getting rid of heavy building and demolition waste, as it can be pushed in the skip by using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 cubic yarders also include a drop-down door, although they are more uncommon. This is because these sizes are typically small enough at the ends so that you can tip a wheelbarrow of waste materials into them.

If you need a drop door for your job, please let us know when placing your order. We will do our utmost to ensure a skip which has a drop door is supplied.

Once your skip is full and ready for collection, it will be taken to a nearby waste transfer station to be processed. The rubbish will be sorted into various waste materials, like wood, cardboard, paper, etc. This ensures that as much of the waste as possible is recycled, which is much better for the environment.

You can normally keep the skip for as long as 14 days from your date of delivery. You may give a chosen collection day when you confirm your order. Otherwise, you can tell us once you have finished with the skip, and we will prepare your collection. Normally, this will be the next working day, although it can occasionally take a little longer over hectic times.

To discover how much it is going to cost to hire a skip in Wivenhoe, insert your delivery postcode into the search box above. We will immediately display the skip sizes we provide in your location and how much each option costs to hire. If your skip is going on the street or any other council-owned property, a skip permit cost will also have to be factored in.

You should not load a skip beyond the level load mark. If you fill it over the tip of this level, it means that your skip is not safe to transport, and you may be asked to take off the extra waste prior to it being picked up.

The builders skip is regarded as the common skip hired across the country. Coming in either a 6 or 8 yd capacity, a builder’s skip is great for most building and construction projects, which is where the label originates from.

The 8 yard builder’s skip is the biggest option that can be used for heavy waste materials such as dirt, concrete, rock and rubble.

If you are searching for a low cost skip to get rid of some household waste, the mini skip might be just what you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 cubic yard capacity (depending on area), the mini skip is a cost-effective waste disposal option to handle many jobs.

The mini skip can fit on the smallest of drives but can also be located on the side of the road, subject to receiving a skip permit from the council.

Although most often hired by residential customers, the mini skip can even tackle smaller commercial jobs.

We will ensure your skip is delivered when required, which in most cases is going to be Monday to Saturday. If you order prior to 3pm Monday to Friday, we can usually deliver your skip the following day.

Although we can’t guarantee a precise delivery time, we will always do our very best to come within either a morning or afternoon slot of your choosing.

You will need to make sure the skip lorry will be able to access the delivery location, as a unsuccessful delivery effort will most likely incur a charge for the wasted journey.

Certainly. We can provide skips to cities, towns and villages throughout the UK. By utilising a network of approved waste management providers, we are able to provide skips to household and industrial customers across Essex and anywhere else within the UK.

It is always a good idea to be in when anyone delivers something to your property. That enables you to ensure there is access for the delivery, plus the skip can be placed just where you need it.

The same thing applies if you have a company. When there is 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 need to be there when the skip is being delivered.

Our company offers a complete variety of skip sizes to household and business clients all over the UK. We have a skip to suit all requirements – from the modest 2 cubic yard mini skip to the enormous 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container.

• 2 Cubic Yard – 20-30 bin bags

No, you cannot throw old or broken electrical waste products in your skip. This can include items like computers, cookers, tumble dryers, refrigerators and computer monitors. Electronic products can’t be disposed of in a skip as they can include dangerous materials and components.

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