Choosing the Right Skip for Your Project

Selecting the correct skip for your project is important to ensure you get the most cost-effective skip possible, for the correct type of waste. If you are unsure of the correct sized skip for your project or are unsure of what type of skip you require then we are happy to help! If you contact us, one of our friendly team members will be able to guide you to the correct size based on the information you provide. 

The first thing to consider is the type of waste that you will need to dispose of and estimate the amount. Domestic clearances such as garden and home renovations will typically require a 3 to 8-yard skip. Whereas a construction or industrial project may require a much larger skip such as 20 to 40 yards. For more information, contact our skip hire specialists to get a free, no-obligation quote or use our skip hire size guide below to figure out what sized skip you may need.

Materials Which Can Be Added to Our Skips

At the point of booking your skip, it’s important to think of the materials which you will be adding because there are some materials which can’t be mixed. Some skips are also cheaper than others, so by letting us know which materials will be added we can give you the most cost-effective rate possible. Please be sure to study the list of prohibited items and products which cannot be loaded and make sure that the skip is loaded to the maximum level. Overfilling a skip may become a hazard as items may fall out and cause injuries

Our Reliable Skip Hire Service Process

Hiring a skip at Penny’s is a straightforward process. Your first task is to decide the type and size of skip you require. You can do this by working out what materials you need to dispose of and roughly how much. We have a guide skip-hire size guide towards the top of this page which will help you work out the correct size for you. 

Once the size and type of skip have been decided, you can then book the skip online or over the phone. If you prefer to book online, then go to our book online form where you will be asked to choose a series of options including your postcode, size skip, closed or enclosed skip, the date your skip is needed, date of collection, and material you need to dispose of. If you would prefer to do this over the phone, we can also help answer any other questions you may have regarding skip hire, and go through the process of getting a road permit if this is needed. 

After booking the perfect skip, we’ll deliver it on the agreed-upon date. Once you’re finished with it, we’ll collect the skip on your chosen date. From there, we take it to our recycling centre where it’s sorted into recyclable and non-recyclable materials.

Please note, we require 24 hours’ notice for a skip hire delivery and 48 hours’ notice for collection. This means if you need a skip for a Wednesday, you will have to place the skip order by Monday. We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays so please factor this in. If you have any questions or would like to book a skip over the phone then call us at 01761 700961.
