When do you need a Skip & grab hire?
This service is needed when you anticipate generating a large amount of waste from a project, such as building work, a major garden clearance, or a full house declutter. It's a convenient way to manage waste that is too much for regular collections.
What happens on the day
For skip hire, the skip will be delivered to your chosen location. For grab hire, the grab lorry will arrive at the scheduled time, load the waste using its arm, and take it away. Ensure clear access for delivery and collection.
How to prepare
- Clear the area where the skip will be placed or where the grab lorry will access
- Ensure clear access for delivery and collection vehicles
- Obtain a skip permit if placing it on a public highway (supplier can often help)
- Separate any hazardous waste which cannot go in a general skip
- Plan your waste filling to make the most of the space
How to improve your result
- Load heavier items first to balance the skip
- Break down bulky items to maximise space in the skip
- Do not overfill the skip past the marked level for safety
- Ensure no prohibited items are placed in the skip
