Using a Skip to Clear Out Your House
Additionally it is increasingly common that these days many of the better skip companies will segregate your waste for recycling rather than just tipping it in landfill. There are several advantages to this, firstly it will ease your conscience as you are helping the planet rather than pollution it, but also, you are saving future resources through your recycling.
When skips are full, the company will come and collect them and all of the waste will be taken to a sorting pad to be separated. Once all of the wood, plastic, metals, glass etc. have been separated from each other, they are then stored in bulk for commercial processing later on. The hire of the skip costs the customer no more than a traditional skip that would just empty it all to landfill, and the company makes up for the extra labour costs by selling the resources taken from the skips on to production line companies.
Working out how big you need your skip to be can be tricky. It is better to hire one that is slightly larger than you anticipate that you will need because it is better to not quite fill one than to fill on completely and either have to hire another one or just not get rid of all of your waste.
You can also order lockable skips to prevent fly tippers from filling your skip for you. It is an age old problem that has caused many arguments between neighbours since time began, but there is nothing more irritating than paying for a skip and having someone in essence steal it from you. For this reason, lockable skips are a huge boon and will help you to relax.
If you wish to have your skip placed out on the street, then complying with health and safety laws is a must as you could find yourself liable for an accident if one should occur. However, your skip hire company should be able to take care of most, if not all of it for you. You will need a street permit from the council to put it out on the road which the skip company should do for you without any extra charges, as well as fitting it with sufficient night lights and coning off the skip.
