Below, our team of specialists have listed the top 10 mistakes we see, so you know what to avoid when hiring a skip for all your commercial or domestic rubbish clearance needs in Rottingdean.
One of the most common mistakes is underestimating or overestimating the amount of waste you have. It’s important to select the correct skip size. If you choose a skip that’s too small, you may end up needing an additional one, while an oversized skip can be an unnecessary expense. Whether you need a compact 8-yard skip or a larger unit, the expert team at our waste collection company will be happy to advise you.
If you intend to locate your skip on public land (such as a road or footpath), you will need a skip permit. Many people overlook this requirement and assume they can place the skip anywhere. Our waste collection company can help you obtain the necessary permits, so your project stays on track.
You may be tempted to throw all types of waste into your skip, but mixing hazardous, recyclable, and general waste can cause issues at the disposal site. Make sure to segregate materials as much as possible or consult with us about the appropriate disposal services.
Ensure that there is enough space for the skip or cage tippers to be placed. Narrow driveways or restricted access can cause delays. Be sure to consider access when booking cage tipper hire or skip hire.
Certain materials, such as hazardous waste, asbestos, and liquids, cannot go into a skip. Make sure you check with us beforehand to avoid any surprises when it’s time to dispose of your waste.
Some projects can take longer than expected. If you opt for a one-day skip rental but end up needing more time, you may incur additional fees. Consider a longer hire period or explore options like our 2-week skip hire.
Overloading your skip can be dangerous and lead to fines. Always ensure that the waste is level with the top of the skip to avoid any safety hazards during transportation.
If you don’t have space for a skip on your property, consider using our wait-and-load service. This service allows for immediate loading of waste without the need for a skip permit.
Coordinate with our team for the most convenient delivery and collection times. Miscommunication can delay your project.
