How To Hire A Skip Bin In Greater London

If you're undertaking a renovation or construction project, you'll likely generate significant waste. Disposing of this waste can be a daunting task, which is where skip hire services come in. Skip Hire London is a skip hire company in Greater London that can help you dispose of waste responsibly.

What is a Skip?

A skip is a large container, usually made of metal or plastic, that's used primarily for waste disposal. They come in various sizes, from small 2-yard skips to massive 40-yard skips, and are used widely across the United Kingdom.

The primary advantage of using a skip is that you can dispose of all your waste in one go, rather than handling it piecemeal. Additionally, skips are much more efficient than traditional disposal methods, such as trips to the local dump.

Why Hire A Skip?

Skip hire is a popular and cost-effective way of disposing of waste. Instead of having to arrange for several rubbish collection pickups, you can have all the waste removed in one go. This approach saves time, energy, and resources, making it the preferred choice for projects of all sizes.

Types of Waste Accepted

Skip Hire London accepts various types of waste, including:

• Construction waste
• Garden waste
• Inert materials (bricks, rubble, etc.)
• General household waste
• Commercial waste

However, it's good to note that certain items are prohibited from skips. These are:

• Asbestos
• Fridges and freezers
• Medical waste
• Hazardous waste
• Paints and solvents

These items require specialist disposal techniques because they pose potential health and safety risks. Skip Hire London can help you with finding the best disposal options for these waste materials.

Skip Sizes

When hiring a skip, choosing the right size is essential. Skip Hire London offers various sizes, including:

• 2 yard
• 4 yard
• 6 yard
• 8 yard
• 12 yard
• 16 yard
• 20 yard
• 40 yard

For smaller projects, such as garden waste disposal or spring cleaning, one of the 2 or 4 yard skips will suffice. For larger timber, some furniture or plasterboards, a 6 or 8 yard skip may be ideal. For construction, demolition or commercial projects, you may need the 12 to 40-yard skips.
