There are many different skip sizes available depending on how much waste you need to get rid of. Please be aware, the larger the skip, the more waste you can throw away but the skip hire price will increase as skips get larger. Generally, skips are available based on how many yards they cover. For example, you can hire a 2, 4, 6 or 8 yard skip.

What is the smallest skip you can hire?

The smallest skip size offered by hire companies will normally be 2 yards.

Luckily, skip hire prices are not too expensive, making hiring a skip one of the most affordable ways to get rid of waste.

The price you pay when hiring a skip will be affected by the following factors:

• Skip size: The larger the skip, the higher the cost

• Location: Skip hire prices will vary depending on where you live

• Weight of waste: Heavier types of waste may be more expensive to remove

• Type of waste: Skip companies will need to know the type of waste you need to get rid of as they’ll need to arrange for disposal

• Length of hire period: The longer you need your skip, the greater the price

• Permits: If you need a permit for your skip, this will add an extra cost

Can I save money on skip hire in Amlwch?

Absolutely! Make sure to hire the smallest skip you need to save on expensive hire costs. Having said that, if you overfill your skip you’ll likely be charged a premium when it’s collected, so do plan ahead.

You can also avoid extra fees by only putting the right type of waste in your skip.

If you’ve never considered hiring a skip before, you may feel a little anxious. But hiring a skip is generally quite a straightforward process.

Firstly, you’ll need to decide how big a skip you need. This will depend on the amount of rubbish you plan to get rid of.

Next, figure out where to position your skip and if you need a permit (more on this below).

Once you’ve planned for your skip, get in touch with a local skip hire company in Amlwch. They’ll be able to provide you with a quote and arrange delivery of the skip to your property. Usually, your skip will be delivered the following day.

Do I need a permit for a skip?

Some local councils require you to get a permit before hiring a skip. You can check whether this is necessary by contacting your local council directly. The good news is that even if you do need a permit, these only cost between £15 and £60.

How can I protect my driveway from being damaged by a skip?

Generally, a skip won’t cause damage to your driveway. But if you’re concerned about damage, particularly if your driveway is made from soft tarmac or paved, you can use sheets and timber planks to protect the surface.

No, there are restrictions on what can be safely thrown into a skip. Most general household waste is ok, although always check with your skip hire company to ensure they don’t have any restrictions.

Usually, the following types of waste are ok to put in your skip:

• Cardboard

• Carpet

• Mattresses

• Plastic

• Plasterboard

• Bricks

• Paint cans

• Timber

• Metals

• Glass

• Nails

• Tree stumps

• Roofing materials

The below types of rubbish are not suitable for skip disposal, although there are others so please check with the skip company:

• Asbestos

• Batteries

• Gas cylinders

• Electrical items

• Oil

• Explosives

• Animal waste

• Tyres

• Chemicals

What happens to the waste in a skip?

This really depends on the type of waste you throw into your skip and the skip hire company. Many companies will recycle as much of your rubbish as possible but some companies take all the waste to a landfill.

If you want to reduce your impact on the environment, choose a skip hire company that recycles where possible.

How full can a skip be?

Often, skips will have a level load policy. This means you can’t add any waste that is higher than the sides of the skip.

If you do go over this line rubbish could fall out of the skip when it is transported, causing accidents. And there’s the chance that the skip lorry driver will refuse to take away a skip that’s overfilled.

How much weight can a skip hold?

Skips will usually have a weight limit but if you’re disposing of general household waste it’s unlikely you’ll go over this. If you do need to dispose of heavy materials, check with your skip hire company what the weight limits for each skip are.

For example, a 2 yard skip may have a weight limit of 2 tonnes.
