When it comes to skip hire, choosing the right size is crucial. It’s important to think about how much waste you need to dispose of. Sizes range from 2 cubic yards all the way up to 16 cubic yards. To help make your decision a little easier, we’ve put together this handy skip size guide that takes you through some of the most common sizes and their dimensions.

Justhire offers hire periods of up to 14 days with no extra charges, and we also offer week-long extensions for a fee.

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.

Depending on the type and size of the skip that you hire prices can vary. On the whole, if you're hiring a skip for personal and domestic use, you can expect to pay between £100 to £350.

Derby City Council Waste Collection

If you need to dispose of any old furniture, like a table, a sofa, an armchair or a mattress can book a bulky waste collection with Derby City Council for a small fee. They only collect waste from domestic properties and charge according to the type of waste and the number of items. For 1 to 3 items the charge is £34.91, and up to 6 items (maximum) is £52.30. For fridges and freezers, it's an additional £12.88 per item. And if you have more than six items, you can book an additional collection.

Private Waste Removal Companies

Using a private rubbish removal company can be a good alternative to hiring a skip and many operate legitimately. However, you must exercise caution when choosing a private waste removal service due to the fact that many operate illegally, by fly-tipping the waste that they collect. Ultimately, the individual responsible for the waste is liable to pay a fine if the carrier is found to be fly-tipping. So always make sure you check that the provider holds a waste carrier license, ask them where they dispose of waste, and get a receipt. You can verify a company's waste carrier license on the government's website.

Charitable Donations

A brilliant way to avoid hiring a skip to dispose of any large, usable goods is to donate them to a local charity. It's a lovely way to give back to the community whilst getting rid of unwanted items. There are quite a few local charity organisations in Derby that collect large, fit-for-purpose items to distribute to those in need. Try reaching out to these charities for assistance:

• Hope City Furniture

• RSPCA Derby
