Skip hire in Bolton – With the scorching hot days and seemingly endless nights of summer right around the corner, there’s never been a better time to dig into those much-needed home improvement projects you’ve been putting off all winter.
No matter the project you’ll be working on, whether it’s a garden makeover or just a simple cupboard clear-out, you’re going to need somewhere to dispose of your waste and unwanted materials.
Skip hire in Bolton is sure to be a big help, but how can you make sure you get the most out of it?
The team at A1 Skip Hire explores everything you should know in this article.
Make sure you hire the right skip size
Choosing the right skip size is crucial, so you should figure out which best suits your needs before anything else.
Our domestic skips here at A1 include:
- 2-yard mini skip – 20 to 30 bin bags or 4 wheelie bins full of rubbish.
- 4-yard midi skip – 30 to 40 bin bags or 8 wheelie bins full of rubbish.
- 8-yard maxi skip – 60 to 80 bin bags or 16 wheelie bins full of rubbish.
Choosing the wrong sized skip could result in you overpaying for space you don’t need, or even worse, having to pay extra for overfilling your container.
Consider where you’ll be leaving your container
You might wonder why this matters. Garden, pavement – it’s all the same, right?
Trust us when we tell you it isn’t, and it’s actually one of the most important things to think about when you hire a skip.
Where you leave your skip will determine whether you need a permit for it or not.
For example, if you don’t have the luxury of a spacious garden or driveway, you’ll need a permit so you can leave your skip on a public highway (the road or pavement).
The point of a permit is to ensure your container is placed safely on public roads or paths, without blocking them or causing a hazard. All licences will be approved by your local council.
At A1, we can organise a permit and acquire all of the necessary documents for you for a small additional cost.
Know what you can and can’t dispose of
If it’s your first time hiring a skip, you might not have paid much thought to what you can and can’t dispose of in one of them.
At A1 Skip Hire, we’ll accept everything from your old broken furniture to recyclable plastics. You’ll be able to dispose of anything that isn’t hazardous in one of our containers.
You won’t be able to get rid of the following hazardous materials:
- Asbestos
- Medical, biological, or laboratory waste
- Aerosols and solvents
- Corrosive liquids
- Electrical appliances (fridges, freezers, etc)
