Getting the most out of skip hire

By John Weber


You should always take the time to estimate the amount of waste you are disposing of before hiring a skip. By doing so, you will ensure you get the very best value out of skip hire. When estimating, it is best to allow for a little extra capacity; it is better to have too much than too little.

Is your skip location suitable?

Your location should be chosen carefully, ensuring that your property cannot be damaged when the skip is being moved. You should take into account such obstacles as gates, garden features and low walls. Ensure that anything that needs to be moved to allow for the skip to be put in place is moved before the skip is delivered. Skips need room to be manoeuvred, so it is very important to have sufficient clear space. You should also consider weight; if the skip is to be filled with weighty items, consider carefully the surface upon which the skip is going to be placed, as too much weight can damage your driveway.

It is important to choose a suitable location for your skip to be placed, in order that you can avoid any damage to your property. Consider factors such as low walls, gates and garden features. If a space needs to be cleared for the skip, make sure this is done before delivery of the skip. You should have ample space to enable the skip to be manoeuvred, to ensure no damage to property occurs. It is also important to bear in mind weight. If you are disposing of weighty/bulky items, this can damage your driveway, and so you should think carefully about where you will locate the skip when it is delivered.

How much rubbish are you disposing of?

Make sure you have a skip size to suit your needs ? it is pointless to spend money hiring a larger skip when perhaps a mini skip will suffice. This will also allow you to save money for the more interesting things in life!Make sure you get the right skip size for your needs. It is pointless wasting money on larger skip than you need. If you only need a mini skip, you would be wasting money by hiring a large skip. Save your money for more exciting things!

Is a permit required?

If you place your skip on any council property, including public roads and grass verges, you are legally require to obtain a skip hire permit from your local authority. Your skip hire company should have details on the procedure for this, or you could contact the council directly to ask for information.

Break down large waste

By breaking down the waste that you put in your skip, you can get better value for money. For instance, an old wardrobe from a house clearance will use less space in the skip if dismantled into smaller pieces.

How to fill your skip

Make sure you have your toolbox on hand when loading your skip. By dismantling and taking apart bulky and heavy items, such as offices desks or wardrobes, you will make best use of the space available, thereby getting the maximum value from your skip hire.

Take care not to overfill your skip

It is important to avoid over filling your skip as this can be very dangerous, and is another good reason to make sure you choose the correct skip size. Your skip hire company may refuse to collect an over filled skip on health and safety grounds.
