Here’s everything you need to know about hiring a skip for your school, college, or university.
Maintaining an educational facility can be a challenging task. From health and safety concerns for the 1000s of students and staff during term time, to the narrow window of opportunity during the holidays, managing waste efficiently is vital.
Here at Morley Skips, we understand the specific needs of educational institutions, which is why we offer personalised waste removal plans to meet your needs, as well as a range of skip hire services that are available across Essex and Suffolk.
Here’s why choosing Morley Skips can make your next academic renovation project run smoothly and safely.
Educational sites differ significantly from residential or commercial settings. You must manage space constraints, minimise disruption, ensure student safety, and deal with hazardous materials. At Morley Skips, our waste solutions are built around these needs; from skip sizes and access logistics to safety features and recycling methods. Whether you’re clearing classrooms, landscaping the grounds, or undertaking urgent RAAC concrete removal, our advice and equipment can be customised to your individual location and project.
Traditional Skips (2–14 yards)
Ideal for straightforward tasks such as room redecorations, furniture disposal, or site clear-outs. Fast to deliver and collect, these skips support quick daily clearances with minimal disruption.
Roll-On Roll-Off (RORO) Containers (20–40 yards)
Perfect for large-scale building works or long-term site projects. RORO containers make it easy to remove vast quantities of rubble, concrete or building debris.
When your site lacks loading equipment or access is restricted, grab hire is an ideal solution. A hydraulic grab lorry collects waste quickly, even from awkward spots, such as over walls or round tight corners, eliminating the need for on-site skips.
Smaller jobs, such as desk or cupboard clearances, are perfect for skip bags. Easily delivered and collected, they make everyday classroom waste or small outdoor clearances simple and fuss-free.
We understand that safety at educational sites is a non-negotiable, and at Morley Skips, we offer a range of security solutions to protect pupils and staff. With our help, waste is kept secure during hire periods, and any risk of tampering or unauthorised access is significantly reduced.
These include:
We know that renovations and maintenance on school properties need to adhere to strict deadlines, which are often limited to the six-week holidays. At Morley Skips, we can work with you to optimise this time and avoid project delays:
Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) presents a growing issue for educational facilities that were built between the 1950s and 1990s. It deteriorates over time, especially when exposed to moisture, which means that buildings can collapse suddenly, and without warning. With legal regulations and safety concerns rising, quick and safe disposal is essential.
