There are a variety of reasons why someone might be looking for options with cheap skip hire near me. Maybe they are moving out of a home and downsizing, maybe they are finally sorting out a very full garage, maybe they are having renovations or maybe there is a lot of garden waste and so on. Here are some basics on skip hire.
Simple online process
The process of skip hire Essex or anywhere is pretty simple, booking online makes it even more convenient. You choose the size of skip you need, give them your information, date and time you want the skip delivered and that is it. A reputable skip business will have it there as specified and many allow you to hold onto the skip until you have filled it. When you are done you can give the business a couple of days notice and they will collect it.
Alternatively, you might prefer an option some offer referred to as the wait and load option. This is when they bring the skip and the driver will wait until you fill it and then take it away.
This is useful when you already have waste waiting to go into the skip and do not need it over a longer time.
Skip sizes
As mentioned you can get skips in different sizes, the smallest being a mini that takes up to 1.5 cubic metres of rubbish but it is not always available in the UK. Then there is the Midi skip that holds up to 3 cubic metres. The most popular size next is known as the Builder’s skip which takes 4.6 cubic metres. There are larger sizes after when you are considering cheap skip hire near me but again not all are available and they should not have all heavy garbage in them as when they are full they are too heavy.
Positioning the skip
You do not have to have room on your property to hire a skip. It is possible to position it on a road or pavement outside the home but you will need to talk to the local council to get a permit for this. Often the skip business themselves can arrange the permit for you but it depends on where you are, some councils want the applicant to be the one getting the permit.
Sometimes it will be necessary to put warning lights on the skip in certain positions so it is not going to cause accidents.
Filling the skip
You can put almost anything in the skip when you choose a skip hire Essex service. Do not put in it gas canisters, food waste, televisions or monitors, fridge freezers, paint cans that have paint in them or tyres. Do not overfill the skip as it makes it difficult to collect and dangerous as well. The waste inside it should not go above the walls of the skip. Most skip services will have the right to decide whether to level it off before picking it up, leaving some waste on your property for you to deal with.
