Hiring skip is a very convenient and cost-effective option for people who need to get rid of large amounts of waste in one go. When you have small amounts of waste, you may feel like you can simply put the waste inside a bin bag and take it up to your local waste disposal centre. However, when you are producing larger amounts of waste, it can be too tiring and time-consuming to continue along this errand. A skip is a perfect solution in this instance.
One reason that you might need a skip is if you are conducting an office clear out. Whether you are moving office, or whether you are simply trying to renovate the current one that you are in, you may produce a lot of waste in terms of old furniture or unused shelves and cabinets that you no longer need. All of these items can be placed into a skip. This makes it much easier for you, as furniture can often be bulky and unusually shaped which can be difficult to transport in a vehicle on your own. Simply putting these items in a skip and allowing the skip hire company to dispose of them makes your life so much easier.
Another reason that you might need a skip is if you are conducting a home renovation. Whether you are simply remodelling your current home layout or if you are adding an extension to your house, you may produce a large amount of building waste materials that you do not need.
In this instance you can hire a skip and place it on your driveway so that you can dispose of any items you need to as quickly as possible. This leaves you to get on with the more important business of conducting the project rather than worrying about waste.
There are some things that you need to take into consideration when hiring a skip. The first is going to be where you park the skip, as you may need a permit if you do not own your own driveway. If you need to park the skip on the side of the road, the council may need to approve this. A professional skip hire company will be able to provide you with all of the information you need and can help you with all of this.
Cheadle Skip Hire, covering Wythenshawe and surrounding areas, can help you with all of your skip hire requirements today. Call 0161 476 3103.
The volume of our skips is measured in cubic yards as follows, Mini - 2, Midi - 4, Small Maxi - 6, Large Maxi - 8.
1 cubic yard holds approximately 765 litres or around 10 average bin bags.
Unlike some other skip hire companies, who supply maxi skips that are 6 or 7 cubic yards, our skips are true to size.
The size you need also depends on how much you break down your waste and pack it into the skip, such as bulky furniture etc… But remember all skips no matter the size must be filled level with the sides. We are unable to collect overfull skips due to the waste not being contained within the skip and deemed as a dangerous load when driven down the road.
Access can also determine the skip size you need. We operate 3 different sizes of skip trucks (3.5, 7.5 and 18 tonne gross vehicle weight). If you have a tight driveway and have heavy material to dispose of (such as bricks or soil), you will need to hire a smaller skip so our smaller trucks can lift the full skip. Please contact us for advice.
Skips at our standard hire rates are for general and inert waste such as soil, rubble, garden waste, packaging, wood, old furniture etc. Any waste on the list below has restrictions or cannot be placed in a standard rate skip. If you do produce any of the following waste please call 0161 476 3103 to arrange a quotation or to ask for advice.
We operate a large fleet of well maintained skips, this allows us to offer a hire period of up to 28 days. This may be reduced during peak periods and although our terms and conditions state a 7 day hire period, it very rarely gets as low as this. Please contact us to find our current hire periods at time of booking.
We are registered and maintain good relationships with all local authorities and can apply for permits on your behalf. We do not put a mark up on permits, meaning we don’t charge VAT.
Different local authorities have different charges and are from 7 to 28 days. Similarly some require 48 hours notice and others can provide permits same day. Please contact us to find the permit arrangements for your local area.
You can book and pay for your skip easily at any time, using our online booking system. We adjust our availability in real time, process your booking and send confirmation within 30 minutes during working hours, giving you the confidence we’ll deliver.
We use the waste type you select primarily to gauge the weight and determine what size truck to send for collection.
If you know confidently you will be finished with your skip on a specific date, select a collection date. If you are unsure or will need an exchange, don’t put a collection date and give us a call or email requesting collection or exchange. We will collect your skip within 72 hours, but usually next day or even same day from the request (subject to availability).
We can take orders from new and existing customers over the phone or by email and accept card payments over the phone or cash paid to the driver ON DELIVERY.
(as long as access is clear). If payment has been made prior to delivery, you can give us instructions on skip placement and our driver will drop the skip with nobody on site.
If the skip is level filled and doesn’t contain any incorrect waste, our driver will collect the skip with nobody on site (as long as access is clear).
