ONCE YOU'VE HIRED


Due to the nature of the industry, we cannot guarantee an exact delivery time. We can however specify a morning or afternoon delivery. If you need the skip for a specific time we suggest you arrange to have the skip delivered the day before to avoid any problems.

We will not collect a skip that is overloaded beyond the safe level. This is a legal requirement which we, as a licensed skip hire business, must comply with.

Once we collect your waste, we take it to our licensed waste transfer station, where we hand-sort it into separate waste streams using our on‑site picking line. The separated waste is then baled and sent to re-processors for onward recycling. We aim to recover and recycle as much waste as possible and use landfill as a last resort.

No, a skip is not an incinerator and is not designed for fires. Please do not light fires in them or you will be charged to repair the damage.

Please call us on 01656 740862 when the skip is ready for collection. We aim to collect your skip as quickly as possible, but it will typically take 2-3 working days. If you need your skip removed for a particular date, please notify us as early as possible.
