Selecting the right skip size is essential to avoid overfilling and unexpected costs. Skips come in various sizes to accommodate different types and volumes of waste. The most common sizes available for hire in Stockport include:

  • Mini Skip Hire Cambridge (2-3 cubic yards): Ideal for smaller projects like garden clearances, spring cleaning, or minor decluttering. These compact skips fit easily into tight spaces, such as standard driveways.

  • Midi Skip Hire (4-6 cubic yards): Perfect for medium-sized household projects, such as kitchen or bathroom renovations. These skips provide extra capacity without taking up too much space.

  • Builder’s Skip Cambridge (8-10 cubic yards): A versatile choice, often used for construction and demolition debris, as well as larger household items. It’s a popular option for both residential and commercial projects.

  • Large Skip Hire (12-16 cubic yards): These high-capacity skips are ideal for commercial projects or large-scale waste disposal needs, such as extensive construction work or major property clearances.

Choosing the correct skip size ensures you have enough space for your waste while avoiding unnecessary costs.

Here’s an overview of some options: Man with a Van For smaller amounts of waste, a "Man with a Van" service can be a cost-effective alternative to skip hire. You can find reputable providers through the Environment Agency website, where you can check their credentials to ensure responsible disposal practices. This option works well for quick, affordable removal of smaller loads when a full skip isn’t necessary. Council Collection Service Cambridge City Council offers a Bulky Waste Collection service for large items like furniture and appliances. Residents can book a collection for a standard fee, typically around £30 for up to five items, with additional charges for more items. This service is ideal if you’re disposing of household items, furniture, or appliances. Recycling Centres Cambridge has multiple recycling centres that accept a wide range of waste types. The Cambridge Recycling Centre, for instance, accepts items such as garden waste, electrical goods, paper, cardboard, glass, and more. There are also designated areas for hazardous materials like chemicals and paint to ensure safe disposal.

    Yes, you can put a skip on the road. Placing on the road requires a skip permit. This can be organised by JustHire, just select skip placement as "on-road" during your checkout. Permits will require an additional fee and the local council can reject an application, without refunding the cost. A great alternative to a road permit is a wait and load service. This is where the skip is lowered, you then have 30 minutes to fill before it is collected again. This can be done on a public road and does not require a permit. During your order just select the "wait and load" option for this service.

    The ideal location is on a driveway. You won't need a permit, which will reduce the overall cost of your hire. It will also provide easy access for filling the skip and avoid any risk from passing traffic. Just make sure there is enough space on the driveway for the size you have ordered.
