General Guidance for Skip Hire
Finding a correct and reliable skip hire service can prove to be a difficult task. This is because you may not have much knowledge of the factors to consider when hiring a skip. Below are some suggestions to keep in mind before hiring a skip…
- It is best to over-estimate the skip size needed as it could save you having to hire another one if the waste piles over.
- Size and dimensions of skips may vary slightly due to design. However, the cubic volume of waste is used to measure how much waste you can put in a skip, and not the size of the skip.
- While skips can accommodate a wide range of waste, some items are restricted. Skips cannot accept items like asbestos, gas cylinders, electrical appliances and other hazardous waste like batteries and paints. It is best to check with your skip hire provider for more information regarding this.
- Be sure to choose your skip size wisely. Consider factors like type of project, location of where the skip will be placed and how much waste you have. This means that, you could make the best cost-effective decision.
