How much are skip hire?

The easiest, safest and most ideal way of disposing of your household or business waste is with a skip. It is the most cost-effective way of doing this for homeowners and property owners due to the time that is saved from you not having to get rid of the waste yourself. We will now go through our skip hire Swansea cost for our range of skips. These should be used as a guideline and may vary depending on what they are going to be used for. Please feel free to give us a call or fill out our quote form for the most accurate price. First, we will look at some of the different factors that are taken into account for your skip hire Swansea prices.

Location. Although we offer our services from Bridgend to Llanelli and everywhere in between, every once in a while we will get a call from areas outside of our usual serviced locations. We are always happy to accommodate these orders however, time and travel will be a factor that will be contributed to the final price of hiring a skip. If you are in a rural area then it will take the driver more time to get to your location and this will affect the final hire price. If you are in one of our usual serving areas then this added cost won’t affect you.

Council permit costs. These will bump up the cost of your skip hire if you have to get one. If you have a driveway or front garden or even room on your neighbour's side to accommodate the skip then you will not need to worry about obtaining a permit as it will be on private land or property. If you have no room then it will need to be placed on a public council-owned road then you will need a skip hire permit issued by the council. These come in a variance of costs ranging from £15 to more than £60 depending on size, location and time. Currently, a skip permit though the council is £43 and that is valid for 28 days. At Skip Hire for Swansea, we regularly make applications for these permits so know the process well and we would be happy to order this for you and include it in the price.

Weight limits. The rules and regulations vary from company to company regarding how much weight can be put into a skip. Generally, the rule of thumb is that weight limits follow the premise that one cubic yard of waste is approximately one tonne. So for example, small skip hire Swansea would be a 4-yard skip which has a 4-tonne weight capacity. Also, we need to consider 8-yard skips can be level loaded with heavy waste such as bricks and rubble but larger skips have to be filled with a mixture of heavy and light rubbish so that it does not exceed the skip hire lorries weight limits. The easy way to avoid any problems is to always make sure your skip load is level.

Disposing of waste. Once the skip is taken back to the depot of the skip hire company it has to be sorted into different categories. Once sorted it is either recycled, incinerated, taken to a waste to energy facility or landfill. Waste to energy facilities and landfill sites charge skip companies to dispose of waste. There is still a restriction on what can be disposed of and if the skip hire company discovers that you are putting restricted items into the skip then a higher fee may occur for violating the guidelines.

These are examples of unusual cases that can increase the skip hire cost but usually, it is a straight forward process and the below prices are our guidelines:
