Skip Hire Basics

People hire skips for a number of reasons. Having a spring drive out, removing a classic kitchen or bathroom, wanting to remove a lot of garden waste are typical reasoned explanations why people hire skips.

Hiring a skip is a quite simple process, even way more nowadays with many companies offering the option of booking your skip online. Usually the process can be as follows. Book the hiring of one's skip from a skip hire company providing them with a date and time you would like your skip delivered and the size of skip you require. Your skip should arrive on the date you specified. You can usually keep consitently the skip for so long as is required to fill it along with your waste. As soon as you skip is ready for removal, simply provide the skip hire company 48 hours notice of whenever you would really like your skip collected.

Another choice many Skip Hire Redhill companies offer is just a'wait and load'service. What this means is the skip will soon be delivered and the driver will wait while you load it and then bring it away. This is ideal if you have a stack of waste ready for loading and don't require the skip for an extended period of time.

When there is no room on your own property for the skip it must be positioned on the public road/pavement. For a skip to be added to the general public road/pavement a permit from the council is required. Usually this permit can be arranged by the skip hire company whenever you order your skip, even though some councils insist that the applicant for the permit should be the person hiring the skip. Also, if the skip will be placed on the road it's the responsibility of the individual hiring the skip to ensure it must appropriate warning lights attached. These lights can usually be hired from the skip hire company when ordering the skip.

You are able to fill your skip with more or less anything with the exception of a few items these generally include aerosols, gas canisters, computer monitors, televisions, full paint cans, food waste, tyres, fridges or freezers.

The skip mustn't be overloaded. This can create problems in picking right up the skip and is hazardous to pedestrians and motorists. The skip should not be loaded above the top of the walls of the skip. If the skip is overloaded the skip hire company usually reserve the best to'level'the waste on picking up the skip if the skip is deemed unsuitable for transport.

Skips can be found in numerous sizes. The smallest is what's called a Mini Skip, holds as much as 1.5 cubic metres of wastes but is not necessarily available all around the UK. Another size is really a Midi Skip which can be ideal of bathroom and kitchen refits and can take up to 3 cubic metres. The most common skip size is what's referred to as a Builders Skip it can hold up to 4.6 cubic metres of waste (as much as 50-60 bin bags) and is available everywhere in the UK. You will find larger skip sizes available but several of those aren't ideal for very heavy waste because of the weight of the fully loaded skip.
