Whether you’re sprucing up your property with a small renovation just before the cold weather sets in, or decluttering your home from top to toe, there are many reasons why you may consider hiring a skip for your next project.
After any project, whether it be a garden clearance or a home extension, you’ll likely be left with a lot of waste, and it’s important you dispose of this waste both safely and responsibly.
Hiring a skip is the best way to ensure your waste is disposed of correctly, while also giving you somewhere onsite to dump everything as the project goes on. This often saves you plenty of time, and allows you to feel environmentally responsible, as youp skip hire provider will recycle as much of the waste from your skip as they can.
If you’re wondering whether or not you could benefit from skip hire for your next project, we’re here to give you the answers…
Whatever the scope of your project, you need space to work. Just like with tidying, or cooking, you need to clear up as you go, to make the project more efficient.
When working on your project, being surrounded by rubbish and waste will only hinder the process, as you move around your waste products to get to the jobs that need doing.
Skip hire provides you with somewhere safe and convenient to accumulate all of your waste as your project unfolds – from old pieces of furniture to rubble, clutter and garden waste. A skip allows you to keep your worksite tidy while you work and move around freely, also reducing the risk of injuries and accidents.
When you choose a skip hire company that is passionate about the environment, you can rest assured your waste will be sorted through properly once it has been collected from you. Skip hire firms are legally obligated to minimise waste, and dispose of waste in the most environmentally-friendly way possible for the material in question.
Different materials and items can be recycled from your skip, minimising the amount of waste that ends up in landfill and ensuring you do your bit for the environment.
Hiring a skip can help you save both time and money, in a number of different ways. Instead of taking on countless repeated journeys to the tip with your car, which will cost you in terms of time and your fuel bill, the skip can be parked right on your driveway or appropriate nearby space, so you can just dispose of waste as you go.
As previously mentioned, a reliable skip hire company will sort through your waste for you, too. This saves you from having to do it yourself, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient.
You may wonder if a skip is too big for the waste your project will create. But skips aren’t one standard size; they come as small as 2 yards. These mini skips can take 1.5 cubic metres of waste, equating to 20-35 black bin bags. They then come in 2 yard increments to begin with, going from 4,6,to 8, then 12, 17, and 35 yard skips.
Skips are convenient. They don’t need a permit on private land, &and pick-up dates are often flexible, depending on your provider.
You’ve likely heard about people having to apply for skip permits. This is only the case if the skip is going to be on public land, for example a pavement or roadside. If your skip fits on your drive, you don’t need a license for this. You just arrange delivery and collection and abide by the rules regarding what you can load, and how much.
If your project runs on, your skip hire company can usually be flexible about your pick up date. Just keep lines open and keep in touch with your firm to ensure they can commit to a new date.
