What You Should Know About Skip Companies

By Michael Ddan


In case of spring and summer seasons, there is generally a surge in case of the demand for hiring of private skips to be used in the household because people generally engage in Do-It-Yourself projects, spring cleaning and garden cleaning.

However, locating and renting a skip is a difficult task because of the fact that one has to arrange for permits and decide the size of the skip in cubic yards. However, one shouldn't worry because there is a solution. The following is a guide on how to hire a skip:

Skip hire isn't like car hire in the sense that there aren't any national companies because the companies that advertise nationally subcontract to local skip hire contractors. You can also take a look at the website of your local council. The website is bound to have a list of reliable waste contractors based in one's location.

The next thing that you should do is to look for a waste carrier, an approved one. In order to achieve this you will need to obtain the waste carrier license number of the potential company and have it checked with the Environment Agency. Unfortunately, skip lures cowboy companies who use the fly-tipping method instead of proper waste disposal, thus causing a lot of problems for you (the tax payer) and your local council.

Recycling is definitely an important process to carry out because it gets rid of the waste in a proper manner and is very beneficial for preventing the filling up of landfills in no time and for the environment in general. However, one can look for a reputable company who is committed to recycling in order to get additional help and be able to carry out one's chores while doing good to the environment.

A reputable company is not going to dump your waste directly in landfill sites or fly-tip the same, but rather segregate and recycle whatever is possible so that only a very small portion of it goes to the landfill. Some of these companies may even possess waste processing facilities. While this may require you to pay more money but it allows you to carry out positive actions for the betterment of the environment.

You will need to pay for your skip hire depending on the kind of waste you're disposing of, your location and the size of the skip. A mini skip measures 2 cubic yards while a gigantic can be up to forty cubic yards, however the average ones measure 6-8 cubic yards. In order for the company to legally move the waste, you will need to select the right size and obey the load limit otherwise you can always take an extra skip.

Generally speaking, skip hire is a quick process if one chooses to keep the skip on public road after obtaining permission and paying the parking charges. A majority of the reputable skip hire companies would recommend this method to their clients and some of them may even go that extra mile and obtain permits for them! There are a few companies that hire skips every day, but skip companies mostly follow a hire period of 7-10 days or longer if necessary.
