FAQ's
I've never ordered a skip before... How do I know what size to order?
Don't worry.... whilst we deal with many people such as builders who know what size they need we also deal with a lot of ordinary householders who may never have ordered a skip before!
If you're unsure tell us what sort of rubbish and how much of it you're disposing of and with over 11 years experience we'll help you decide!
What do you do with my rubbish?
Recycle as much as possible...... that's it in a nutshell!! We observe our responsibilities and duty to keep landfill to a minimum and therefore we recycle around 90% of our waste! From graded woods to plastics and metals we recycle whatever we possibly can playing our part in keeping the environment as green as we can!
How long can I keep the skip for?
Our normal terms are for you to hire our skip for up to 7 days if you are a residential customer and 14 days if you are a commercial customer. We can extend this by arrangement but normally if you haven't called for collection after 7 days we will put you on a rotational collection list meaning your skip will be picked up in turn with others.
What does LEVEL LOADS ONLY mean? How full can my skip be?
Your skip can be full but by full we mean no higher than the highest lip. All rubbsih should be kept within the confines of the skip. Our drivers can be fined and have their licences endorsed if they carry overloaded skips as this is considered an insecure load and is punnishable by law therefore our drivers have the right to refuse to remove the skip if they consider it overloaded or they may wait for you to offload but this is chargeable at £30 per half hour or part thereof.
Do you do trade accounts?
