Learn more about Skip Hire in Uxbridge

Accepted Answer

There is a consistently growing demand for skip hire services in Uxbridge for the disposal of mixed waste and inert waste from households, commercial establishments and construction sites. To guarantee proper service provision and public safety in Uxbridge, Hillingdon implements several regulations to ensure that convenient and reliable waste disposal solutions can remain fully compliant along with the Environmental Agency regulations. With a significant number of skip hire companies operating in the Hillingdon area, which includes Uxbridge, the need for such regulations is essential to ensure that the limits for skips parked on public property is not exceeded.

At Wayst, we understand that skip hire and associated costs are unfamiliar to many people who are renting a container for the first, and so we always have an expert team on hand to handle enquiries. One of the most common concerns among our clients is the expense of skip hire and additional fees associated with using the service, such as council and parking permits. We provide transparent pricing and a breakdown of all costs involved before you commit to booking a skip, so you know what you will be paying for up front.

Here at Wayst we also provide you with all the essential information about skip hire in Uxbridge if there is anything you are unsure of. This includes skips for hire prices, what you can put in a skip as well as the processes involved in obtaining skip permits and parking bay suspension certificates when necessary. We also ensure that we provide maximum safety for our clients and only send knowledgeable and experienced crews to risk assess, and carry out our services.

Question 2

Skip hire prices in Uxbridge

Accepted Answer

It costs an average of £265 to hire a 6 yard skip container in Uxbridge while an 8 yard skip can be rented for £283, both including VAT. Skip containers may be rented from 3 to 14 days or even longer, however, time extensions do not greatly contribute to the overall service costs especially when skips are on private land.

What considerably affects skip hire prices are the council permits that must be obtained in order to legally place a skip on public property. In Uxbridge, a skip hire permit with a 14 day validity costs £40 and is processed within 5 working days by Hillingdon’s local council. It is also necessary to acquire a parking bay suspension certificate when parking a skip on a controlled parking zone (CPZ) which costs an additional charge of £31 per day.

Some skips also require traffic cones, skip lights, covers and road markings in order to be placed on public property, which may be provided by the skip hire company for additional fees.

Question 3

What size skip do I need?

Accepted Answer

The wide range of skip sizes available can make choosing the right one a challenge, especially as it is difficult for many people to visualise the volume as expressed in cubic yards. This can be helped by referring to our skip sizes guide below detailing the number of standard rubbish bags that will fit into each container:

2 yard skip (4 x 3 x 3 feet) is equal to 35 refuse sacks
4 yard skip (6 x 4 x 3 feet) is equal to 40 refuse sacks
6 yard skip (10 x 4 x 4 feet) is equal to 60 refuse sacks
8 yard skip (12 x 6 x 4 feet) is equal to 80 refuse sacks
10 yard skip (12 x 6 x 6 feet) is equal to 100 refuse sacks
12 yard skip (13 x 6 x 6 feet) is equal to 120 refuse sacks

Question 4

Skip sizes explained

Accepted Answer

Skip hire can be a very cost effective waste management solution In most circumstances, however costs can mount up if you choose the wrong skip size, as a skip thats too big will be a waste of money and containers that end up being too small could end up costing twice as much if you have to rent an additional container. To help customers in choosing the appropriate skip size, we gather as much information as possible about what the skip is going to be used for, so that we provide clients with the most appropriate container for their needs.

The following rough guide should help point you in the right direction:

Mini Skips = 2 cubic yard skips: Simple DIY projects, bathroom renovation and demolishing garden stonework as well as minimal spring cleaning.

Midi Skips = 4 cubic yard skips: Home exterior decorations, room renovations, shed and garden clearance and clear out.

Builders Skips = 6 - 8 cubic yard skips: House clearances, refurbishment projects, garden landscaping projects and commercial property clearances.

Maxi Skips = 10 - 12 - 16 cubic yard skips: Large scale residential and commercial property construction projects and major clearances, suitable for lighter waste streams.

Question 5

Skip hire alternatives

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you live, the space you have available and the accessibility of the property for lorries, trucks or vans, skip hire may not always be the best option. This is especially the case for residents who need their waste disposed of right away but have to wait for 5 days to get a skip hire permit in Uxbridge or those who are looking for the most cost-effective solution but ended up paying more due to the sometimes costly parking bay suspension fees.

One of the best skip alternatives available is a man and van clearance service which does not only allow customers to dispose of waste from office and home clear-outs immediately, but also get it done in most cases within an hour, with many companies offering a same or next day service.

Another option which is most suited for small DIY projects and redecorating is using a skip bag. This is easily bought in hardware shops and even online stores and comes flat taking up as little space as possible when not in use. Once full, customers only need to call a private waste carrier and specify the type of collection they need.
