From garden landscaping to extensive building jobs, there may come a time where you need a trusted skip hire service to help with your renovations. As an expert skip hire company in Bilston and the wider area of the Black Country (West Midlands), we understand how daunting it can be to order a skip and realise you may have many questions about the process. Below, we offer a step by step guide on how to order a skip, from information on skip sizes and questions you might need to ask your selected company before you place your order.
Commonly, many people believe that skip hire is only for construction sites or can only be hired by builders to help with their work. Let’s explore what situations you might need a skip:
There is a range of skip sizes available for various purposes and environments, including domestic, commercial and industrial settings. They lend themselves to a lot of different projects and are incredibly effective at collecting waste that could otherwise compromise your operations or contribute to a hazardous environment. Whatever you choose to use your skip for, here is a run-down of the most popular skip sizes:
Smaller skips are well-suited to domestic projects, and medium-sized skips are classically known as “builders” or “maxi” skips due to being generally found on construction sites. If you’re thinking of hiring a small skip but are unsure of which size you might need, here is a breakdown of each one:
However, if you need a bigger skip, some waste disposal companies offer large skip sizes such as:
As well as larger skips, various other types of skips can be available, from enclosed skips to drop door skips.
If you think the job will be lengthy and will require a lot of work, or you only need a skip for a single day, you’ll want to know how long (or short) you can hire a skip for. Fortunately, skip hire services are incredibly flexible. Many companies can accommodate from anywhere to same-day drop off and pick up from a few weeks of hire time.
Some can offer flexibility in their delivery and collection too. For example, if you fill a skip over a week, but continue to need a skip for the next week, a reputable company will be able to collect your full one whilst dropping off a new and empty one.
Another important factor to consider is what waste you’re looking to dispose of. This is essential because certain materials and items aren’t able to be collected. So, if you’re planning to chuck paint pots into your skip or throw out some worthless electrical items, you might have to think before you tip. Here are some examples of items that are restricted:
A general rule of thumb is that if its an item that could be harmful, don’t put it into your skip. If you have any questions regarding what can and can’t go into a skip, talk to an expert in waste disposal for advice.
Fortunately, skip hire is cost effective. If you’re looking for affordable skip hire services, opt for a skip hire company that is local to you – as well as cost-effective, the service will also be convenient. By the time you arrange your rubbish and transport it back and forth in your own vehicle, you could end up spending a lot of money on petrol and damage your car in the process.
So, you’ve decided on which size to hire and you’re ready to book it in but now you might be wondering if there are any legal rules and regulations you have to adhere to.
If you don’t have a driveway or any private land, the skip may need to be placed onto the road which means you’ll need a permit from your local council – for those in Bilston or located in the Black Country area, try the councils of Wolverhampton, Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall. Without a permit, you could be fined, which means you’ll incur more costs and hassle. However, most skip hire companies can arrange a permit on your behalf, which eliminates any extra trouble for you.
Once you’ve worked out all the details and asked your questions on how to hire a skip and what it all entails, the process is completed by a simple phone call or email.
