Frequently Asked Skip Hire Questions
An online booking system allows customers to book skips at their convenience, 24/7, without the need for phone calls or physical visits. This enhances the customer experience and attracts a wider range of customers who prefer online transactions.
The right skip size depends on the type and volume of waste. Smaller skips (4-yard) are ideal for minor home renovations and garden clearances, while larger skips (6-yard, 8-yard) suit medium-sized projects. For substantial waste disposal, larger skips such as 12-yard, 14-yard, or roll-on roll-off skips may be more appropriate.
– **4-yard skip**: Approximately 8ft x 5ft x 3ft, holding up to 40 bin bags of waste.
– **6-yard skip**: Approximately 8ft x 5ft x 4.5ft, holding up to 60 bin bags of waste.
– **8-yard skip**: Approximately 12ft x 6ft x 4ft, holding up to 80 bin bags of waste.
– **12-yard skip**: Larger capacity, suitable for bulkier waste types.
– **14-yard skip**: Provides a secure waste management solution for larger projects.
– **20-yard and 40-yard roll-on roll-off skips**: Ideal for major construction, demolition, or industrial waste disposal.
Prohibited waste types typically include:
– **Hazardous waste**: Asbestos, paint, solvents, oils, pesticides, and medical waste.
– **Electrical items (WEEE waste)**: Fridges, freezers, TVs, computers, fluorescent tubes.
– **Liquids**: Oils, chemicals, adhesives, and other hazardous liquids.
– **Plasterboard**: Must be disposed of separately due to environmental regulations.
– **Tyres**: Not permitted due to disposal restrictions.
– **Batteries**: Including car and household batteries.
– **Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)**: Includes upholstered furniture, sofas, armchairs, and cushions, requiring special disposal methods.
– **Overloaded skips**: Skips exceeding weight limits may incur extra charges.
Enclosed skips help improve waste management by enhancing site safety, preventing unauthorized waste disposal, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. They are ideal for commercial, industrial, and larger-scale projects requiring secure waste containment.
