How To Hire A Skip Bin In Greater Manchester

If you're planning a big cleaning or renovation project in Greater Manchester, chances are you'll need to dispose of a lot of waste. That's where hiring a skip bin can come in handy. But if you've never hired a skip before, the process can seem a bit daunting. In this article, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about hiring a skip bin in Greater Manchester.

Who We Are

At Skip Hire Manchester, we're a skip hire company based in Greater Manchester. We provide a range of skip sizes to suit any project, from small yard skips to larger ones for construction or demolition waste. We pride ourselves on our reliable service and competitive prices. If you need a skip in Greater Manchester, we're the company to call.

What Is A Skip?

If you're not familiar with skips, they're basically large, open-topped containers that are used for the collection and disposal of waste. They're most commonly used in the construction and demolition industries, but they're also useful for home renovation projects, garden cleanups, and any other situation where you have a lot of waste to get rid of. Skips come in different sizes, ranging from 2-yard mini skips to 40-yard roll-on roll-off skips.

Determining The Size Of Skip You Need

When it comes to hiring a skip, one of the most important things to consider is the size of the skip you need. Getting the right size skip is essential, as hiring a skip that's too small will mean you'll have to make multiple trips to the recycling centre or landfill, adding extra time and expense to your project. On the other hand, hiring a skip that's too big is unnecessary and will result in higher costs.

At Skip Hire Manchester, we offer skips in a range of sizes, from small 2-yard mini skips that are perfect for small garden cleanups, up to larger 40-yard roll-on roll-off skips for larger commercial projects. If you're not sure what size skip you need, give us a call and our friendly staff will be happy to advise you based on the type of waste you're disposing of and the amount of waste you have.

What Can You Put In A Skip?

When it comes to filling your skip, there are some restrictions on what can and can't be disposed of. This is because certain materials can't be disposed of in landfills or recycling centres, or may require special handling due to safety concerns.

At Skip Hire Manchester, we can provide guidance on what can be put in our skips. Generally speaking, the following items are accepted:

• Household waste
• Garden waste
• Construction waste (bricks, concrete, tiles, etc.)
• Metals
• Wood
• Plastic
• Cardboard and paper

The following items are NOT accepted:

• Asbestos
• Batteries
• Chemicals
• Electrical appliances (TVs, fridges, etc.)
• Fluorescent tubes
• Gas bottles
• Hazardous waste (including paint and solvents)
• Medical waste

If you're unsure about whether a particular item can be disposed of in a skip, please give us a call and we'll be happy to advise you.

Skip Hire Permits

In some cases, you may need a permit to place a skip on a public road or footpath in Greater Manchester. This is because skip placement can sometimes cause obstructions or safety hazards to pedestrians, vehicles, or emergency services.

At Skip Hire Manchester, we can help with skip permits if required. The cost of a skip permit will vary depending on your location and the length of time you need the skip for. We recommend getting in touch with us early on in the planning process if you think you might need a skip permit, to ensure that everything is in place before the skip is delivered.
