One of our more frequently asked questions is ‘Can you hire a skip for garden waste?’ – so we have put together this helpful guide answering all you need to know about skips for garden waste.
If you’re sorting out your garden, having it landscaped, or having the garden makeover of your dreams – you’re likely to encounter a lot of waste and rubbish that needs to be disposed of.
Skip hire for garden waste is a great idea to make sure that you are keeping the area safe from hazards, and it offers a quick clean-up process.
What Can Go In A Garden Waste Skip?
- Wood, and Metal
Can you hire a skip for garden waste such as wood and metal? If you are knocking down that shed that’s been leaning into next door’s garden, throwing out old wooden furniture, or finally getting rid of those rusty buckets or broken trellises – our skips are perfect for the job. We can recycle all of these materials so you can fill your skip easily.
- Soil and Green Waste
Can you hire a skip for garden waste such as soil and green waste? Yes! Soil, leaves, plants, branches, and grass can be disposed of in garden waste skips. All of these materials can be easily recycled and negate the need for landfill disposal so you can go ahead and fill your skip with as much green waste as you need to.
- Bricks and Rubble
If your patio has seen better days with broken slabs, garden edging, old concrete fence posts, or bricks from old home improvements – then disposing of them in one quick clean-up exercise using a garden waste skip can save you a lot of time and money.
What Size Skip is Best For Garden Waste?
There are lots of different-sized skips available. We have the following sizes readily available:
- 3 yard (25 – 30 bin bags)
- 4 yard (30 – 40 bin bags)
- 6 yard (50 – 60 bin bags)
- 8 yard (60 – 80 bin bags)
- 12 yard (100 – 120 bin bags)
- 14 yard (120 – 140 bin bangs)
The size of the skip you need will depend greatly on the size of the project at hand. If you have a lot of garden waste or are landscaping a large garden, then you may require one of our larger skips.
If you have a modest-sized garden and are simply throwing out soil and green waste, then a smaller skip may be perfect for the job. Have a chat with one of our helpful team who is always on hand and can guide you to the right sized skip for your garden project.
Do You Need A Permit For A Garden Skip?
Can you hire a skip for garden waste, and do you need a permit? Regardless of what your skip is used for, there are circumstances when a permit may be required. If you have a driveway or private land with a large enough space with good access, then you won’t need a permit for your garden waste skip.
However, if your skip needs to be placed on public property e.g. outside your home on a road or property belonging to the local authority or another private land owner – a permit will be required. This isn’t something you need to worry about. When you contact our team, we will discuss this with you and will make all the arrangements necessary to ensure that a skip can be delivered to you, free of hassle!
How Much Does a Skip Cost?
The cost of hiring a skip for garden waste can vary depending on various factors. The first is the size of the skip you need, whether you need a permit, the company you are hiring from, and their location.
We always recommend that you do your research before choosing a skip-hire company. Check out a company’s reviews online, their experience and qualifications, and their environmental and sustainability values.
