What To Think About Before Hiring A Skip

A skip is usually a large, open-topped container that is commonly filled with waste and then taken away to be disposed of. They are typically designed to be loaded easily onto lorries, to make transport as quick and efficient as possible and are used in thousands of projects across the UK each day.

So what is there to think about when hiring a skip? Read on to find out more.

Size

Size is probably the most important decision to make when deciding to hire a skip. They are available in a vast array of sizes, so it is vital to get the right one for your project. You can’t overfill a skip or the driver may refuse to take it, so hiring a skip too small will cause issues when it comes to being collected and might result in you having to rent another skip. On the other hand, a larger skip costs more money, and if you don’t fill it you won’t be getting the best value for money.



Location

You need to ensure you have the space to put a skip. You are allowed to put a skip anywhere on private property, but it must be accessible by the lorry driver who delivers and takes the skip away. It should also be close enough to the site you’re clearing so it is not inconvenient to use. Once the skip is placed, it should be kept in the same position so the driver can access it easily for pickup.

If you don’t have space on your property and would like your skip on the road, you will most likely need to arrange a permit with the council to allow this. If not you will be liable for fines. This permit can be arranged by yourself or the company that provides the skip.
