Not every project needs a skip for weeks at a time. Sometimes you just want to clear the garage or get rid of the rubble from a small DIY job. In these cases, you may wonder ‘Can I hire a skip for a weekend?’ The simple answer is yes!
With Morley Skips, you can book short-term skip hire to fit around your weekend DIY plans.
Whether you’re decluttering or landscaping, a weekend skip can be a cost-effective and practical solution. Here’s everything you need to know about hiring a skip for a weekend; from how it works to the types of projects that it suits best.
For many homeowners, the weekend is the only time available to tackle bigger household jobs. A two-day skip hire gives you the freedom to complete your project without waste piling up, or the inconvenience of keeping a skip on your driveway longer than necessary.
At Morley Skips, we understand that flexibility matters. Our service is designed to fit around your schedule, whether that means delivery on a Friday afternoon and collection on a Monday morning, or a slightly longer hire period if your project overruns.
Weekend skip hire is particularly popular for:
At Morley Skips, we offer flexible hire periods to suit both short-term and long-term needs. Our standard hire period is 14 days but we can adjust this to meet your specific timeframe, including weekend bookings.
When your project is complete, simply give us a call and we’ll arrange a collection; it couldn’t be simpler!
We know that not every job runs exactly to plan, so if you find that you need your skip for an extra day or two, we can usually accommodate that for a small additional fee. Our goal is to make waste management as straightforward as possible, with no unnecessary stress.
Even for a weekend project, choosing the correct skip size is important. Too small, and you may run out of space before the job’s done; too large, and you’ll be paying for capacity that you don’t need.
At Morley Skips, we offer a variety of sizes to cover everything from small domestic clear-outs to large renovation jobs but if you’re unsure what size skip is best for your weekend project, our friendly team will be happy to advise.
We’ll ask a few simple questions, such as the type of waste you expect to produce and how much space you have available. From there, we’ll recommend the best option for your budget and site access.
When booking your skip, it’s helpful to think in advance about where it will go and whether there’s easy access for our lorries. Our standard delivery vehicles need at least 2.9 metres of width to manoeuvre safely. If you have narrow roads, low-hanging branches or waterlogged ground nearby, let us know when you book and we’ll make sure to plan around these.
If you’re short on space and need your skip positioned on a public road, we can help you to arrange the appropriate council permit for a small additional fee, which will vary depending on your local council.
We can often deliver within one working day, meaning a skip ordered on Thursday can be ready for the weekend. During busier times we aim to deliver within 48 working hours. Please contact us when you have your project dates set and we can discuss this with you.
Once your skip is collected, all waste is taken to our fully licensed recycling centre. Here, our experienced team manually and mechanically sort and process materials to make sure that as much as possible is recycled, reused or repurposed into recycled aggregates.
From wood and metal to soil, rubble and green waste, your rubbish is handled responsibly, giving you complete peace of mind that you’ve chosen a sustainable option for disposal.
If you’re planning a very small weekend project, such as a cupboard clear-out or tidying a small garden, a full skip might be more than you need. In these cases, our skip bags are a fantastic alternative.
Skip bags are durable and arrive flat packed which makes them easy to store before they are needed. Each one is about the size of a standard car boot load and can hold up to one tonne of material.
You can book a delivery with us, fill them at your own pace, and then call us when you’re ready for collection. The cost of each bag covers both delivery and collection, so there are no hidden fees.
Like our skips, skip bags contents are also disposed of in the same environmentally-responsible way.
Booking your weekend skip hire couldn’t be easier. You can call our friendly team on 01621 815 287 to discuss your project, or book online in just a few clicks. We’ll confirm your delivery slot, advise on the right skip size and make sure that everything is arranged for delivery.
If you’re not sure how much waste you’ll generate, or whether a skip bag might be more suitable, we’re happy to guide you through all of our options.
