Skip Hire for Swansea |
Which skip to hire?
It can be a little daunting to hire a skip if you have never done it before. People seem to assume that you already know how it works, what you need and what size you want. All these phrases like ‘cubic yards’ and ‘builders skips’ can make you feel a little lost if it’s your first time. To make things a tad easier we will discuss which skips you need to hire based on what you are throwing out. Before we move on to what you are getting rid of to compare what skip you will need we will first list what you CAN’T throw away regardless of what skip your order.
Failure to comply with these prohibited items can result in an increased charge when the skip is emptied and the restricted items being returned to you. It is important to monitor your skip if it is in an open or public place as anybody can throw their waste in there. Unfortunately, we cannot accept responsibility for what is in your skip, this falls to you.
Before we move on to what size you will need it is a good idea to establish what waste you will be disposing of. As a householder, you will mostly be ordering a mixed waste skip over an inert waste skip. The reason for this is because you will be getting rid of a wide range of waste materials. So when you call a skip hire Swansea company they will quote you a mixed waste skip price first as this is the most common. However, if you find yourself in the position where you only have inert waste then mention this when you call and ask for a quote for an inert waste skip as this might be cheaper. This is because the waste has not got to be sorted once taken away which reduces labour costs. Inert waste is most often from construction sites and is materials like rubble, soil, sand and cement. Inert waste will not decompose so it gets disposed of differently to mixed waste and also can be reused in other construction projects. Mixed waste ranges mostly from house clearances with materials like furniture, carpets, garden waste and household junk. Inert waste skips are mostly used by tradesmen or building companies rather than homeowners.
