If you want to hire a skip simply call us on 0161 703 8592
to speak to one of our friendly staff about arranging a competitively priced skip to be delivered to you.

Or complete our online Skip Hire Order Form and have a skip with you in a matter of hours.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What can I put in a skip?”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1674646437154{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Skips are for general and inert waste such as soil, garden waste, paper, plastics, wood, old furniture etc. For information about what you are allowed to put in your skip please ring us on 0161 703 8592.

One of our helpful team will be able to offer you more advice on what you can put in your skip.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How full can I load my skip?”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1674646567641{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Our drivers cannot collect your skip if it is overfilled by weight or volume. For safe and legal transport on public highways, your skip cannot be filled any higher than the top of the sides. 

Any skip 16yd3 or smaller should never exceed the legal road limit of 7 tonnes (roughly the weight of 5 Ford Fiestas). Larger “roll on roll off” skips should only be used for light waste and the legal limit for these is 16 tonnes. 

If your project ends up producing more waste than you initially planned for, you can call our friendly customer service team on 0161 703 8592. They will be happy to help you order an additional skip, as well as provide advice on skip sizes and waste volumes or tonnages. If in doubt, give us a call.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Why can’t I put batteries in the skip?”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1674646683233{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Lithium-ion batteries are extremely flammable and must not be placed in any skip, wheelie bin, or container. They are one of the biggest reasons behind fires in waste vehicles.

Leaving batteries in gadgets or devices during disposal presents the same risk as placing a smouldering BBQ in the wate. 

Batteries are a form of hazardous waste, and you’ll need to arrange a separate solution for disposal. Local residents can always instead use the battery recycling bin at their supermarket or HWRC (Household Waste Recycling Centre).[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordions][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_accordions open_toggle=”-1″ container_bg_color=”#ffd753″ el_class=”custom-faqs”][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can I get a skip delivered to Manchester?”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1674646409294{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Yes.

Hazardous waste doesn’t just mean obvious materials and substances like asbestos. Regulations include all types of waste that could potentially cause harm, including certain types of empty packaging such as paint tins, oily rags, aerosols, and used expanding foam canisters. You can’t just throw a used vape or empty silicone tube in a general waste skip.

These waste types require a separate solution and cannot be placed in any wheelie bin or skip. Some examples of hazardous wastes include:

• Batteries
• Vapes
• Fluorescent Tubes
• Aerosols
• Oil
• Oily Rags / Spill Kits
• Solvents
• Paints
• Mastics
• Glues & Adhesives
• WEEE (Electrical & Electronic)
• Fridges
• TVs
• Monitors

If in doubt, give our team a call on 0161 703 8592 and we’ll provide a hazardous waste solution that works for you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordions][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_accordions open_toggle=”-1″ container_bg_color=”#ffd753″ el_class=”custom-faqs”][vc_accordion_tab title=”Why does plasterboard need a separate skip?”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1674646764970{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The plasterboard is not hazardous on its own, but the gypsum contained within produces a highly toxic gas (hydrogen sulphide) in a process called putrefaction when wet or disposed of with biodegradable waste.

As such, plasterboard waste is banned from landfill and is only suitable for recycling, recovery, or incineration. When disposed of correctly, gypsum can be recycled continuously into new products.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordions][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3 vc_col-xs-12″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”true” fullwidth_content=”false” equal_columns=”true” attached=”true” column_padding=”2″ css=”.vc_custom_1674649038959{background-color: #ffd753 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1674648870200{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
