When hiring a skip, we understand the importance of providing flexible and convenient payment options for our customers. Below, we outline the various methods available to ensure a smooth and hassle-free transaction.

Credit or Debit Card (Payment in Advance):

To secure your skip hire, payments can be made in advance using a credit or debit card. This method not only guarantees your booking but also provides a quick and efficient way to complete the transaction.

Cash on Delivery:

For those who prefer to handle transactions in person, we offer the option to pay in cash upon delivery of the skip. This method allows you to inspect the skip upon arrival and ensures that you are satisfied with the service before making the payment.

In addition to the above methods, we can also arrange direct bank transfers if required. This option is ideal for customers who prefer electronic transactions or need to handle large sums securely.

Flexible Skip Hire Durations

• Standard Hire Periods: Typically, skip hire periods range from 7 to 14 days. This timeframe is generally sufficient for most residential and commercial clearances.
• Extended Hire Options: If you need the skip for a longer duration, arrangements can be made to accommodate your needs. This flexibility ensures that you can complete your project without feeling rushed.
• Cost Considerations: The cost of hiring a skip is determined by the volume of waste recovered rather than the duration of the hire. This means that you can keep the skip for the agreed-upon period without worrying about additional costs based on time alone.
• Reasonable Time Periods: While we strive to offer flexible hire durations, we also adhere to reasonable timeframes to ensure skips are available for re-hire and to maintain efficient circulation.

In summary, our skip hire service is designed to be flexible and accommodating to meet your needs. Whether you need a skip for a week or longer, we can arrange the hire period that works best for you. The main consideration for cost is the amount of waste you dispose of, allowing you to focus on completing your project efficiently.

When hiring a skip, it's crucial to know what items you can and can't dispose of to ensure compliance with regulations and to avoid any potential issues. This document outlines the main categories of waste that are prohibited from being placed in skips, particularly focusing on the larger 12 and 14-yard skips.

Prohibited Items
There are several types of waste that are not allowed in skips, which include:

• Heavy Material:
  No heavy material in the larger 12 and 14-yard skips. This is due to the weight limits and safety regulations associated with transporting such materials.

  • No asbestos
  • No hazardous waste (unspecified types)
• Specific Items:
