If you have a lot of rubbish to clear out or thinking of undertaking a major renovation, it will help you to know how to hire a skip in Worksop.

Whilst hiring a skip is not a complicated process, especially if you are hiring from T G Commercials Self Drive, but there are a few factors that you need to take into account. Let us walk you through some of those so that you can confidently hire a skip.

Do you genuinely need a skip?

Before you reach out to us to skip hire in Worksop, it is important to decide if you actually need one. This depends on the amount of waste you wish to get rid of, whether you have access to any type of transportation or how close you are to a household/commercial waste centre.

Even if you have a vehicle, but it is not big enough to transport a lot of waste, it will be a cheaper option to hire a skip so that you do not have to make smaller trips back and forth.

What things can you put in a skip?

Skips are hired to transport waste and rubbish, but you cannot put a lot of items into a skip. Some of the things can you cannot put into a skip are –

• Plasterboard and asbestos
• Explosives and compressed gas cylinders, both empty and full
• Electrical and computer equipment
• Fluorescent tubes and batteries
• Cooking, engine and hydraulic oil
• Medical waste of all kinds
• Chemicals like processing fluids, detergents and bleach
• Tyres, paint tins and solvents

This is not an exhaustive list and if you have any doubts, you can speak to us.

What size skip do you need?

You would not want to spend money on a large skip when you do not have a lot of rubbish to get rid of. Also, you would not want to hire a small skip where you might have to make repeated trips to the waste centre.

The skip size that you require would depend on the amount of waste that you wish to get rid of it. The three basic types of skip that we offer are mini (for small amounts of waste), midi (for construction or renovation waste) and maxi (for a lot of waste that is usually generated in the commercial sector).

If you opt for a mini skip, it would typically hold up to 30 bin liners of rubbish and a maxi skip can hold up to 120 bin liners of rubbish. The midi skips are capable of holding up to 40 bin liners of rubbish.

If you are undertaking a small renovation project or having a clearout of your home, a mini skip should suffice your needs. However, if you are unsure regarding what size skip bin would be perfect for you, do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our executives will make you make the right decision.

Where can the skip be placed?

When you have hired a skip, you can place it anywhere on your private land. Just make sure that it is easier for the skin van to be delivered and collected. This is why most people place it on their driveway or front lawn.

But, if there is grass on your lawn, placing a skip might damage the grasses if you leave it there for an extended period.

If you do not wish to potentially damage the lawn or driveway, you can simply place it on the roadside. But, you will have to apply for a permit or license to do so. Once approved, you can go ahead and place it there.
