Easy Skip Hire Cardiff

The majority of household items can go into a skip as long as it is not hazardous waste.  This includes things like domestic and garden waste, carpet, solidified paints, non-electrical fixtures and fittings, metal, wood, tiles and pottery, empty tins, cardboard, and bricks. Any waste that is dangerous or harmful both to people and the environment is considered hazardous waste. Check with your skip hire company to understand the guidelines and regulations regarding skip content. If you're looking for guidance on skip hire Cardiff customers can get in touch with us today.

Hazardous materials like asbestos, chemicals, paint, and batteries must not be disposed of in a skip. Hazardous waste must be disposed of separately following specific guidelines to comply with environmental regulations. Check with the local council and the skip hire company for specific guidelines in your area. Or for any questions relating to skip hire Cardiff customers can contact our team today.

You can put a skip on the road but only if you get a permit from the local council first. They will first need to check that it is safe and will not cause an obstruction. Avoiding getting a permit could see you hit with a significant fine of up to £1000. The skip hire company you have chosen should advise you on how and when to apply.

Each skip has a  "fill level" marked to indicate its safety capacity. The maximum fill level for a skip is up to the rim, and how much you can put into it depends on its size, weight limits, and the guidelines provided by the skip hire provider that you use. Skips come in many different sizes, from mini 2-yard and small 4-cubic yard to larger 10-yard, 12-yard, and even 16-yard skips. For advice on skip size and specific rules, we’d recommend chatting with the skip hire company or contacting our team.

Placing a skip on your driveway depends on the size of your driveway, the size of the skip, and the likelihood that it will cause a public obstruction or pose a safety risk to the public. Measure your driveway to check there is enough room, and assess if there are any obstructions that will affect the placement of the skip. The skip must fit comfortably within the available space and the delivery truck must be able to access your driveway to deposit the skip safely.

It's always better to choose a slightly larger size to avoid overloading and incurring extra costs. If you're unsure, your chosen skip hire service can provide tailored guidance based on your unique needs and available space. But as a guide, for small-scale projects like garden work, a 2 or 3-yard skip is ideal. For mid-sized home projects, opt for a 4 or 6-yard skip. For bulkier items or garage clear-outs, an 8-yard skip is recommended. For larger jobs like renovations or construction, a 10 or 12-yard skip is necessary. For massive tasks with substantial bulky waste, a 14 or 16-yard skip is the way to go.

The cost of hiring a standard skip depends on its size and location. Smaller 2-4 cubic yard skips may range from £90 to £250, while larger 8-12 cubic yard skips, can cost between £250 and £400 or more. The exact price can also differ based on the skip hire company you choose. To get an accurate quote for a standard skip in your area, enter your postcode to get the best deal for your specific needs.
