A.Please see our size guide or alternatively please feel free to contact us and discuss your requirements with our staff on 01608 641361. Skips must be level filled, NO greedy boards and NO fires.
A.We cannot accept paint, any polluting or hazardous substances such as oil, batteries, fire extinguishers or gas bottles. Paint tins must be empty. Asbestos, tyres, glass, fridges, freezers and plasterboard can be taken only with prior arrangement with our office. Windows are priced on weight so must be kept separate and not put in skips without our office staff knowing. Please call our office for more information regarding this. All unacceptable waste will be unloaded from the skip on collection, returned to the customer or charged for safe disposal. Plasterboard must be kept separate from general waste. A sorting charge may be applied if it is not.
A.If your skip cannot be placed on your own property and has to be placed on the highway, verge or footpath then a Road Permit will need to be applied for. We will arrange this with the relevant Highways Authority. At least 5 working days is required for this to be processed for Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire and at least 12 working days for Gloucestershire. Lights and cones are included. The road permit lasts one month. If it needs to be renewed, the same notice period is required.
A.For times when skips cannot be placed on the highway or the rubbish is ready to load, a wait and load could be the perfect solution. The skip is placed by your property and our driver stays with the skip. The customer then has 30 minutes to load the skip. After this time or when the skip is full it is taken away. No hassle, no clogging up driveways, just wait and load.
A.Most skips can be on site for up to 3 weeks, however with prior arrangement with our office staff skips can be on site for a negotiated period of time. The maximum hire period for account customers is 3 months.
A.We accept all major cards apart from American Express. Payment must be taken over the phone before delivery of your skip. Accounts can be opened after a month of trading. We also accept BACS transfers.
A.We usually require 48 hours notice to deliver, exchange or collect your skip. Through prior arrangement with our office staff, we can offer an out of hour’s service or a turnaround service for excavation works.
