Are you trying to work out whether you need to hire a skip? Whether you own a business or are just looking to clear out at home, there are many reasons you might need a skip hire. 

If you have a great deal of waste to dispose of, you can save so much time and energy by choosing to hire a skip rather than make repeated trips to the tip – bearing in mind you might also have to size down your waste to fit it into your car in the first place!

If the examples below help you to realise that hiring a skip might be the best solution for you, get in touch with Hazell & Jefferies Ltd and we can help you hire the right skip for your needs.

Why might I need to hire a skip?

Home Renovations

Home renovations projects typically create a fair amount of waste – from materials you are getting rid of, to clutter, to waste products from new installations. That stud wall can be ripped out and skipped, as can the protective packaging for new windows – go no further than your lawn or driveway and throw it in, negating any time-consuming trips to your local tip.

All waste generated in home renovation should be safely and responsibly disposed of, in an eco-friendly manner. You likely won’t have easy access to the best ways to dispose of building waste – so let your skip hire firm deal with it for you. Hiring a skip can be the perfect way to tick these boxes – just make sure to book it in when you have the date for your renovations, to make sure skips are available and it is in situ ready for you to get going.

Moving offices

A growing business is a great sign! But as your workforce grows, the office space you need tends to expand, too. Is it time to relocate to a bigger office premises? 

The process of moving offices can generate a surprisingly large amount of waste. Hiring a skip will help you to efficiently and quickly dispose of this – important, as moving offices can be truly time-consuming. Skip hire is a quick and easy way to speed things up. The quicker you can facilitate this aspect of the move, the less time you will spend up in the air and the quicker you can get back to ‘business as usual’.

Disposing of garden waste

If you enjoy taking on garden projects, or you want to change the landscaping at your current property, you’ll find that you generate plenty of garden waste. Most likely, you’ll find your bins will be nowhere near capacity! With short-term skip hire, you can quickly dispose of all of this waste with no further problems.  

If you’re worrying about your waste, you don’t need to – know that, with H&J, any waste generated that can be recycled will be recycled. That way, we minimise any negative impact your improvements will have on the environment.

Is Skip hire environmentally friendly?

Most customers are surprised to find out that skip hire can be a much more environmentally friendly way to dispose of waste than simply taking it to the tip. 

Skip hire companies typically recycle more than 80% of your skip waste, preventing plenty of landfill. We’ll take your waste back to our depot and dispose of it correctly. This saves you plenty of time, too, by letting us do your recycling for you!
