Looking to hire a skip in Northamptonshire? Whether you’re renovating your home, clearing out the garden, or managing a construction project, understanding the essentials of skip hire will save you time, money, and potential headaches.
The Do’s
Do Choose the Right Size
Select a skip that matches your project’s needs. Our range includes:
- Mini skips (2-4 cubic yards): Compact for small household jobs
- Builder skips (6-8 cubic yards +): Renovations, gardening and building waste
- Large skips (10-16 cubic yards): For larger projects
- Industrial roll on roll off (20 cubic yards): Designed for commercial applications
- Industrial roll on roll off (40 cubic yards): Largest container for huge quantities of waste
Do Check Permit Requirements
If your skip needs to be placed on public property, you’ll need a permit from the Northamptonshire Council. At Bailey’s, we can arrange this for you.
Do Consider Access
Ensure there’s adequate space for skip delivery and collection. Our experienced team can advise on the best placement location.
Do Load Correctly
Fill your skip methodically – place heavy items at the bottom and distribute weight evenly. Break down large items to maximise space.
The Don’ts
Don’t Overfill
Keep waste level with the skip’s rim. Overloaded skips are illegal to transport and may incur additional charges.
Don’t Include Prohibited Items
Never place these items in your skip:
- Hazardous materials or chemicals
- Batteries and electronics
- Asbestos
- Paint or oil
- Gas bottles
- Tyres
Don’t Block Access
Ensure your skip doesn’t obstruct driveways, pavements, or roads. Consider your neighbours’ access needs.
Don’t Delay Booking
Book your skip in advance, especially during peak seasons. At Bailey’s, we pride ourselves on prompt delivery and collection, but early booking ensures availability.
