People hire skips for a number of reasons. Having a spring clear out, removing an old kitchen or bathroom, wanting to remove plenty of garden waste are all reasons why people hire skips.
Hiring a skip is a fairly simple process, even more so nowadays with many companies offering the option of booking your skip online. Usually the process is as follows. Book the hiring of your skip from the skip hire company providing them with a date and time you desire your skip delivered and the size of skip you require. Your skip should arrive on the date you specified. You can usually keep carefully the skip for as long as must fill it with your waste. Once you skip is ready for removal, simply supply the skip hire company 48 hours notice of once you want your skip collected.
Another option many skip hire companies offer is a 'wait and load' service. Mini Skips Dalton means the skip will undoubtedly be delivered and the driver will wait when you load it and then take it away. That is ideal if you have a pile of waste ready for loading and do not require the skip for an extended period of time.
If there is no room on your property for the skip it has to be placed on the general public road/pavement. For a skip to be positioned on the public road/pavement a permit from the council is required. Usually this permit can be arranged by the skip hire company once you order your skip, although some councils insist that the applicant for the permit should be the person hiring the skip. Also, if the skip is to be placed on the road it is the responsibility of the person hiring the skip to make sure it has to appropriate warning lights attached. These lights can usually be hired from the skip hire company when ordering the skip.
It is possible to fill your skip with just about anything with the exception of a few items included in these are aerosols, gas canisters, computer monitors, televisions, full paint cans, food waste, tyres, fridges or freezers.
The skip should not be overloaded. This may cause problems in picking up the skip and in addition is hazardous to pedestrians and motorists. The skip shouldn't be loaded above the top of the walls of the skip. If the skip is overloaded the skip hire company usually reserve the right to 'level' the waste on picking right up the skip if the skip is regarded as unsuitable for transport.
