Yarm Skip Hire FAQs

Where do you take the waste from my skip?

When your skip is full and ready for collection, we will collect it and transport it to a nearby waste recycling centre, where it will be processed. The rubbish will get segregated into a number of waste types, such as stone, soil and paper. This helps to ensure as much of the collection can be recycled as possible. We are very proud of our commitment to environmental protection by sending as little to landfill as possible!

Can a skip be dropped on a road in Yarm?

This depends on where the skip is going to be positioned. You will only require a permit if it is positioned on public property, such as a road, pavement or grass verge. You will not require a permit if your skip is on your private property, such as a drive or inside your business premises.

If you need to get a permit, we can arrange this on your behalf as part of the service. Simply tell us while completing the order process, and we can make the necessary arrangements with your local council. They will charge a fee for this, so if you can locate your skip on private property, you will save some money.

Will you deliver to other areas in North Yorkshire?

Certainly. We can provide skips to cities, towns and villages in all parts of the UK. By utilising a network of verified waste management companies, we can provide skips to residential and commercial customers throughout North Yorkshire and elsewhere in the UK.

What is a mini skip?

When you have a small quantity of waste to throw out, a mini skip may be the best choice. What size is identified as a mini skip varies from business to business, dependant upon what sizes they supply.

The most common size for a mini skip is 2 cubic yards. However, some firms choose to have a 3 cubic yard skip for their smallest option. Price is based on the actual size you hire, rather than the term “mini skip”.

Mini skips are ideal for residential jobs such as modest DIY projects and garden shed tidy ups. If you want it placed on your driveway and want space to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a good choice.

Can I dispose of electrical items in my skip?

No, you cannot dispose of old or unwanted electronic waste items in your skip. This includes such things as laptops or computers, cookers, washing machines, refrigerators and computer monitors. These products can’t be disposed of in a skip as they can contain hazardous materials and components.

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

What sizes do roll-on roll-off containers come in?

If you run a business in Yarm and need to dispose of large amounts of light waste materials, a roll-on roll-off bin may be a great choice. Offered in 20 – 40 cubic yards, they are the largest waste disposal skips that are available.

As the label indicates, these containers can be rolled on and off the lorry with a hook, in contrast to regular skips, which are lifted by using chains.

Am I allowed to load up the skip above the side?

Unfortunately not. You are only allowed to load your skip up to the level load mark. Piling waste materials up over this line makes it dangerous to transport, and you could be asked to get rid of the surplus waste before the skip can be picked up. This includes the use of doors, sheets of wood or other materials to raise the skip height. Again, this will make transportation of the skip hazardous and it can also make it overweight.

What size is a builder’s skip?

The term builders skip can mean two sizes – the 6 yard and 8 yd skip. The label stems from the fact that these are the most popular sizes used by builders and tradespeople.

These big containers are ideal for a wide variety of residential and industrial projects. These are the largest skips that you can use for weighty builders waste like soil, stone and concrete.

What are the different skip sizes available?

When it comes to ordering a skip in Yarm, you have multiple sizes to select from, which range from 2 to 40 cubic yards in volume.

The 2 yard container, also known as a mini skip, will be the smallest choice available. This compact skip is excellent for small domestic clearances and DIY work.

The next size available is the 4 yard midi skip, which can contain the equivalent of approximately 35-40 bin bags of rubbish.

After the midi comes the builder’s skips, that are available in either 6 or 8 yards. They are the most common sizes ordered, as building contractors and tradespeople frequently use them. However their substantial capacity also means they are perfect for household clearances including large items like household furniture and beds.

We can supply 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard containers for those with even larger waste disposal requirements. These sizes are only suited to light materials, so they can not be used to dispose of soil or rubble.

For additional information regarding the different capacities offered, such as proportions, check out our help guide to skip sizes.

What skip sizes will have a drop down door?

Generally speaking, almost all skips can be supplied with a drop down door, dependant upon the size, availability and area. If you require a drop down door, be sure to tell us when ordering your skip.

Ordering a skip which has a drop door is mainly beneficial if you are choosing a big builder’s skip, since it enables you to wheelbarrow waste materials into the skip. This is not so important for mini and midi skips, because they are low enough at the ends for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

How do I hire a skip online?

Hiring a skip shouldn’t be difficult. This is why we have made the order process as easy as possible.

What types of waste materials am I allowed to put in my skip?

Before hiring a skip, it is important to check that the type of waste materials you intend to dispose of is actually allowed to go in the skip. Some objects and materials have to be kept separate and can’t get mixed with general rubbish. This is a legal requirement that aims to help protect the environment.

Some examples of waste types you can discard in a skip include household goods like furniture, floor tiles, cabinets, garden waste and plastics. You may also use a skip to discard building and demolition waste, including timber, soil, rubble, metals and concrete.

Examples of forbidden items include electronic items, tyres, paint, chemical substances, batteries and plasterboard. These are all classed as hazardous waste and therefore have to be disposed of separately from any general waste.

No, you don’t need to be home when we are delivering your skip. As long as we are able to access the place you want it delivered, we will manage everything.

For those who will not be at home, just let us have any relevant delivery directions when you book your order. For instance, you may need the skip to be dropped at a particular area of the drive. Or you might want to be sure that the skip does not obstruct access to your garage.

Whatever the situation may be, simply tell us when ordering, and we will ensure the directions are passed on to the delivery driver.

What is the cost of hiring a skip in Yarm?

The cost of hiring a skip in Yarm depends on the size of skip you require. The lowest priced skip available will be the 2 yard mini skip, which is perfect for small DIY projects and general clearances. If you require a larger sized skip, such as an 8 yd builders skip, it will naturally cost more. The cost will also increase if you need to have your skip positioned on the highway, because you will need a permit, which the council charge a fee for.

When will my skip be delivered?

We will ensure your skip is delivered when required, which in most cases is going to be Monday to Saturday. For those who order before 3pm Monday to Friday, we can usually deliver your skip the very next day.

Although we cannot promise an exact delivery time, we will always do our best to reach you within either a morning or afternoon slot of your choosing.

You will need to ensure the skip lorry will be able to access the delivery area, as a failed delivery attempt will often incur a fee for the wasted journey.

How long am I able to hire the skip for?

Generally, you can have the skip for a maximum of 2 weeks. Which means you don’t need to rush through your project. When you have finished your project or the skip is fully loaded prior to the 14-day mark, we will gladly come and collect the skip earlier. Just give us a call or get in touch online, and we will be out to collect it as soon as possible.

Other areas covered include Filey, Thornaby-on-Tees, Leyburn, Boroughbridge, Northallerton, Bedale, High Bentham and Masham.
