Why you should consider hiring a skip

Skip bins are a familiar sight near building projects or house clearances, but you may not have considered hiring one for your own project. What are the advantages of this kind of waste disposal?

Environment 

You may be surprised by the sheer amount of waste generated by a house clearance or renovation. All of this waste has to go somewhere. If you find yourself making numerous trips to a landfill site, you should consider the impact that all these visits are having on the environment. By hiring a single skip and having the waste taken away in one go, you will be using less fuel and reducing your carbon footprint. It also leaves you free to carry on with your renovation or clearance project.

You can also rest assured that the skip company will be disposing of the waste responsibly. Materials will be recycled where possible, and the remainder will be disposed of safely and in accordance with best standards.

Appropriate containers

Different projects can generate different types of waste. Fortunately, skips can be hired that cater for specific types of rubbish. For example, as well as hiring a skip for general waste, you can also get one specifically intended for garden waste such as branches, leaves or grass cuttings. If you are involved in building work, you can hire a skip designed to hold concrete or bricks, which can be difficult to dispose of otherwise. You can also hire skips for general heavy materials, which will include concrete and bricks, but can also include soil, rocks and any other material which might otherwise be awkward to get rid of because of its waste.

Safety

Any kind of waste that is left lying around can cause an accident, particularly if it consists of heavy building materials. It is very easy to trip over rubbish that has not been properly removed from the site, which can cause expensive delays to your project in addition to the human cost. By hiring a skip, you will have a single place where all waste can be placed as soon as it is generated. This will make your site a much safer and more pleasant place to work.

Skip bins are the smart way to dispose of large quantities of waste. Talk to your hire company about your needs, and you will be free to get on with your project without worrying about rubbish disposal.
