In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about how to hire a skip with Morley Skips, the benefits of using a skip hire service, and how we can support your project every step of the way.
Every project needs a clean, safe, and productive environment, and waste removal is a fundamental part of that. By choosing to hire a skip, you can simplify the process of managing waste and welcome benefits such as:
1. Convenience
A skip allows you to dispose of large volumes of waste without the hassle of multiple trips to the local tip. We will also deliver and collect your skip at a time that suits you, making waste removal simple and most importantly; stress-free.
2. Environmentally Friendly
At Morley Skips, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. When you hire a skip from us, you can rest assured that your waste will be processed at our state-of-the-art waste transfer station. We ‘reuse, recycle and repurpose’ as much as possible.
3. Versatility
Our skips come in a range of sizes to suit projects of all types. From small domestic tasks to large-scale commercial operations, there’s a skip for every need. Not sure which size to hire? Our friendly team is always on hand to help you choose the perfect option.
4. Cost-Effective
When you compare the time, effort, and fuel costs associated with multiple trips to dispose of waste yourself, hiring a skip is an economical solution. Our transparent pricing ensures you know exactly what you’re paying for, with no hidden fees.
At Morley Skips, we’ve streamlined the skip hire process to make it as easy as possible for our customers. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting started:
1. Determine Your Needs
Before you hire a skip, consider the type and volume of waste you’ll be disposing of. This will help you choose the right skip size. Our skips range from 2-yard mini skips (25-35 bin bags; ideal for small home projects) to 14-yards (90-100+ bin bags; perfect for larger construction jobs).
2. Contact Our Team
Get in touch with us via the phone and our knowledgeable staff will help you choose the right skip and provide a quote based on your specific requirements. Alternatively, you can use our online booking system here.
3. Delivery
We deliver your skip at a time and location that suits you. If you’re placing the skip on public land, we can also assist you in obtaining the necessary permits for a fee (set by your local council). Please ensure we have clear access – you can find out more about this here.
4. Fill the Skip
Once the skip is delivered, you can start loading your waste. Please ensure that you take note of any items that carry additional charges and any prohibited items. Please also ensure that any waste does not exceed the height of the skip sides; overfilling your skip will result in it not being collected or waste being removed before we can legally move it.
5. Collection
When your skip is full, simply let us know, and we’ll collect it promptly. From there, your waste is transported to our dedicated waste transfer station for sorting and recycling.
Not sure what skip size you need? Here’s a quick guide to help:
• 2-Yard Skip: Ideal for small DIY projects or general household waste.
• 4-Yard Skip: Suitable for slightly larger tasks, such as loft or garage clearances.
• 6-Yard Skip: A popular choice for room refurbishments or medium-sized garden clearances.
• 8-Yard Skip: Great for bulky items and heavier waste types.
• 12-16 Yard Skips: Perfect for small to large-scale commercial projects or extensive house clear-outs/extensions.
If you’d like more information, our team can guide you through the selection process to ensure you get the best value for your project.
