If you need to hire a skip in Bracknell, then chances are that you have some work to do. Perhaps you’re renovating your home, or maybe you’re clearing out the garage. Whatever the reason is for you needing a skip hire in Bracknell, there are certain things that you need to know before booking.
If you want to get the best service and value for your money when hiring a skip in Bracknell, then pay close attention to the following information:
You Need A Permit
In most cases, you will need a permit to place the skip on the road. This is because it needs permission from the local council for placing it on the road and therefore blocking off part of it.
The good news is that your skip hire company is likely to obtain this for you if this is indeed necessary. They will also advise whether or not one can be obtained in your area.
Be Aware of What You Can and Cannot Put into Your Skip
There can be some confusion over what you can and cannot put into a skip hire in Bracknell. So, here’s a list of some of the things you cannot put into your skip: asbestos, batteries, electrical goods (such as DVD players), fluorescent tubes, food waste, fridge/freezers, gas cylinders, liquids (such as paint), medical waste (syringes etc.), tyres and televisions/monitors.
The Size of the Skip
The size of your skip depends on the amount of waste you have. If your project will produce a large amount of waste, or if you need to dispose of heavy items such as bricks and concrete, then you may want to consider hiring a larger skip, such as an 8 yard or 12 yard.
If you only have a small amount of waste, such as a few boxes or bags of general household rubbish, then a small mini skip may be more suitable.
One thing that is important to note is that if your waste fills the entire space of the skip then this will usually cost more to dispose of, so it’s always best to choose the next size up if possible.
The Cost of Hiring a Skip
The price of hiring a skip depends on the size of the skip, so choose the right one to help save money. A 3-yard mini skip is ideal for small DIY projects and starts from £170, while a 6-yard midi is perfect if you’re having a clear out or carrying out work on your garden and starts from £240. If you’re having a major project such as an extension or renovation to your home, a 12-yard maxi is recommended and starts from £375.
