C&M's Skip Hire Guide
This guide is designed to make your skip hire experience a smooth and simple process. The guide is split into three stages: -
Step 3: Use and Collection
How long can I keep the skip for?
Typically, skip hire lasts for two weeks If you require a skip for more than a week, then please contact us
and we will see what we can do for you.
Who is responsible for the skip's contents?
You are responsible for the contents of the skip. You need to ensure that the waste going into the skip is suitable for general disposal (see
below) and that the skip is not overloaded. If you are sharing a skip with a neighbour, you will also need to ensure that their waste is suitable.
What happens if I put unsuitable waste into the skip?
An extra disposal fee may be charged if unsuitable waste is found in a skip, unless you have notified us prior to ordering. Waste not suitable
for general disposal includes: -
- Plaster board,
- Asbestos,
- Fridges, Freezers, Air-conditioning units,
- Tyres,
- Electrical appliances,
- Batteries,
- Medical waste,
- Fluorescent light tubes,
- Paints (including residues inside paint cans) and solvents,
- Aerosols and gas cannisters,
- Liquids,
- Oil, fuel and other automotive fluids,
- Hazardous / Toxic waste.
What happens if I overload the skip?
We are legally not allowed to remove an overloaded skip. As a result, you will be charged a wasted journey fee. The skip's content must be a
level load, so that waste can't fall out of the skip during transit. If you find that your skip is too small for the waste, you can easily hire
another skip from us for the remaining waste.
I've finished with the skip, how do I book a collection?
Simply call us on 0845 450 1141 or e-mail us, and we'll arrange the collection from there. When booking a collection,
please mention the delivery address, including postcode. Also ensure that on the day of the collection, adequate access to th skip is available for the
skip lorry to load the skip.
