Items which can’t be thrown into a skip are often known as hazardous waste; these are waste types which may cause harm to the environment or damage the health of individuals. These updates came in March 2011 and have become set in stone waste regulations.

Some common examples of items which can’t be thrown into a skip are: asbestos, gas cylinders, animal waste, explosives, batteries, oil of any kind, chemicals, paint and glue, televisions, laptops, phones, electrical equipment, lighting and tyres.

People usually place their skip either on a driveway, on the road outside their house, or in their garden. There are several options available to you when it comes to skip placement, but your individual property and situation will no doubt shape which choice you make. Some people find their hand forced by the way their property is laid out and the location, while others may have numerous options available to them. If you have any queries about the placement of your skip, ask a member of our team.

Before you place a skip on any public highway or road (including a pavement) you need to have a skip permit from the local council. There is no requirement for a permit if you put a skip on private land, such as your driveway, field or private road.

If you do need a skip permit, we can help with your application to the local council to get one.

It often takes at least 3 days to arrange a skip permit, so remember to allow for this in your planning. Check with your local council to make sure, so you aren’t caught out. Alternatively we can assist with getting a skip permit for your skip hire.

It is important to choose the right sized skip – too small and you will have unwanted waste left over with the prospect of having to get another skip, whilst a skip that is too large will cost more than you need to pay and take up unnecessary space on your site or property.

Skips are measured in cubic yards, with sizes ranging from 2 yards through to 35 yards. Whatever you’re working on, there’s sure to be a skip to meet your specific requirements – it’s just a matter of selecting the right one. Our team will be able to advise you on the right sized skip for your project.

For Domestic Hire you can keep your skip for up to 14 days. You’ll need to weigh up the needs of your project against your budget requirements. If your skip is on the road, you’ll need to check the length of time covered by your permit, as this will likely dictate how long you can keep it for.

When you are ready to have your skip collected to be emptied, just give us a call or email us, and we will arrange it. Please give us at least 24 hours notice.

We endeavour to recycle as much collected waste as possible. The first stage in the recycling process is to sort through the skip contents and separate it based on the material type (e.g. wood, aggregates, plastic or metal) ready for processing. Larger bulky items are removed during this stage before the pre-sorted waste is moved into loading bays.

Depending on the material type, this waste is then treated in a variety of different screening, shredding and compacting processes before being reloaded into larger containers ready for transportation to other destinations where the waste will undergo further treatment and recycling procedures.

To cater to the needs of everyone, at Monster Skips we supply a range of skip sizes to meet all needs. Whether you’re carrying out large construction and demolition works, renovating your home or garden, or you’re a business in need of dedicated skip hire, we have the right skip size for you. We provide prompt delivery and collection for a wide range of skip types.

Commercial skip hire is the service name for the renting of a large outdoor bin container which is used to hold business waste. There are many different types of skips for commercial skip hire and their main difference is usually the size rather than its form factor. But there are some exceptions such as the roll-on-roll-off skips.

Commercial skip hire enables you to get rid of your business waste if you produce a lot of it in a short period of time without you having to renegotiate your waste collection contract for bigger bins or more frequent collections.

Items which can’t be thrown into a commercial skip are often known as hazardous waste; these are waste types which may cause harm to the environment or damage the health of individuals. These updates came in March 2011 and have become set in stone waste regulations.

Some common examples of items which can’t be thrown into a skip are: asbestos, gas cylinders, animal waste, explosives, batteries, oil of any kind, chemicals, paint and glue, televisions, laptops, phones, electrical equipment, lighting and tyres.

Construction sites produce large volumes of waste. We have the facilities designed to effectively and correctly dispose of a number of wastes generated from sites including cardboard, wood, soil, hard core, plasterboard, metal, plastics, green waste and mixed general waste.

Construction skip hire can be provided for source segregation or mixed wastes. Mixed wastes are sorted through our state of the art recycling centre where we divert over 95% of waste that passes through away from landfill.

The largest skip you can hire is the 35 yard roll on/off skip. This is ideal for large volume commercial waste producers and large scale construction operations. 35 yard skips are perfectly suited to the disposal of large quantities of light, bulky waste, but they can also accommodate heavier materials.

All our skips are delivered on large, heavy vehicles. We usually need a minimum 3m clearance width for the lorry to access. We can however put the skip down in a smaller space as the lifting mechanisms give us the ability to squeeze the skip into slighter spaces. We may ask you to sign a disclaimer if there are items around that might get in the way.

For Commercial Hire you can keep your skip for up to 14 days. You’ll need to weigh up the needs of your project against your budget requirements. If your skip is on the road, you will need to check the length of time covered by your permit, as this will likely dictate how long you can keep it for.
