In order to get it right, you need to ask yourself a few questions and wherever possible measure approximately how much rubbish and what type of rubbish you need to get rid of. If you underestimate the amount, you might end up with a skip that's too small and the chances are you'll have to hire a second skip to finish the job, which could mean wasting extra cash unnecessarily. A good tip when getting rid of unwanted furniture, trees or any other bulky wooden items is to break it up first. This way you may be able to hire a smaller skip for the job which will ultimately save you money. Another consideration that has to be taken into account is where the hired skip is going to be placed. If it is to be placed in a restricted environment, you may wish to order several smaller skips so you can ensure easy access to the skip for filling. Wherever you place the skips, regardless of the size, you should check with your supplier if you need a council permit. Any skip stored on a public road or pavement will require this permit and it can take a couple of days to get hold of. At the end of the day, the calculation you make before you hire a skip is very important, but then so is how you actually fill the skip you have hired. It's also vitally important you consider the type of waste you are placing in the skip because very heavy loads are not suitable for some larger skips and bulky, light wastes are too much for smaller containers. Skips can come with a 'drop-front' for easy loading with barrows or to walk in and they can also be covered or lockable to prevent theft or to keep hazardous materials contained safely. The skip size you order will also have to fit in to the location you intend it to be placed, and if you need a council permit then you have to arrange this well in advance of the skip being delivered to you. Many skip hire companies do offer clients this service and are more than happy to arrange for a permit on their behalf.
