Skip Hire Rates

Most of us dread throwing things out. We all feel like maybe, somehow, someday we will need them again. Either that or we're simply lazy and we forget about them. Clutter piles up and lots of useless things start taking up space that you could actually use for something that you need. At some point you have to stop and think about what exactly you need and what you don’t. By that time, you will probably need a skip hire company.

Some Tips to Help You Get the Best Skip Hire Rates

For residential users, there are four skip sizes: mini, midi, builders and large. The two first ones are small and are generally less expensive - with the condition that everything that you need to get rid of fits into just one. Two mini skips are more expensive than one large one. So, the first thing you need to do when you decide to go for skip hire is evaluate correctly the exact quantity of clutter that you need out and then choose the right skip based on that.

Do not count on skips to get you rid of large objects like fridges, television sets or tyres. Also, skips do not cover hazardous materials like asbestos, solvents or liquids and anything that can damage the skip. If you have a lot of clutter fitting that category, the skip may not be what you need. If you do not have the necessary room for a skip, you may need to pay an extra fee to the local council to place the skip on the road. Most skip hire services however offer a wait and load option - and charge it depending on the time they would need to wait. You might want to check both options before choosing the best one.

What does Skip Hire Entail?

In the skip hire rates, most companies include collection, delivery and disposal. The hire is usually done for up to ten days. In the case of recyclable materials, skip hire companies will usually make sure that they are recycled - which is probably more environmentally friendly than most options. To be certain that the skip hire company you choose is following this, you might want to choose a company that is fully licensed by the Environment Agency.

It would be hard to find a direct skip hire rate. Most companies offer a personalised quotation, based on your needs. There are some websites that will recommend certain rates and will show you more than one skip hire option, so that you can compare:
