Hiring a skip is a convenient and cost-effective way to manage waste. To ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience, here are some important tips to keep in mind:
Choose the Right Skip Size
Select the correct skip size for your needs to avoid overpaying or running out of space. Unsure which size you need? Our team is happy to help you make the right choice.
Check for Permit Requirements
If the skip needs to be placed on a public road or highway, a permit from Liverpool City Council will be required. Don’t worry our team can handle this for you.
Ensure the Skip Hire Company is Licensed and Insured
Always choose a reputable skip hire provider like us. We are fully licensed and insured for your peace of mind.
Know What Waste Can Be Disposed Of
Identify the type of waste you’ll be disposing of. Separate garden debris, general rubbish, and building materials, as different types may have varying disposal requirements. Please note that we do not accept hazardous or flammable waste.
Prepare a Stable Placement Area
Ensure the skip is placed on a flat, stable surface to avoid any accidents or damage during loading.
Fill the Skip Safely
To optimise space, start by placing larger, heavier items like furniture or rubble at the bottom and layer smaller items on top. Avoid overfilling the skip, as this can make it unsafe to transport. Level loads only!
Schedule the Collection
Arrange for the skip to be collected on the agreed-upon date. Let us know in advance if your plans change, and we’ll adjust your booking.
Be Aware of Weight Limits
For heavy materials like bricks, concrete, or soil, ensure they’re within the weight limits specified by the skip size you’ve hired. Exceeding weight limits may incur additional charges.
