Are you planning a garden makeover or tackling a major landscaping project? Whether you’re reshaping beds, removing old shrubs, or completely redesigning your outdoor space, one challenge remains constant: what to do with all that green waste.
At Bailey’s Skip Hire and Recycling, we’ve helped countless homeowners across Northamptonshire and the Leicestershire borders turn their garden dreams into reality with our convenient skip hire services. Here’s how hiring a skip can make your garden transformation smoother, more efficient, and environmentally responsible.
The Garden Waste Challenge
Garden projects generate surprising amounts of waste:
- Soil and turf from creating new beds or leveling areas
- Tree branches, shrubs, and root balls from removals
- Old decking, fencing, and garden structures
- Stones, concrete, and rubble from pathways or features
- Seasonal waste like fallen leaves, grass clippings, and hedge trimmings
Without proper planning, these materials can quickly overwhelm your space, making it difficult to continue working efficiently and safely.
Benefits of Hiring a Skip for Garden Projects
1. Convenience and Efficiency
Having a skip on-site means you can dispose of waste as you go, keeping your workspace clear and organised. No need for multiple trips to the local recycling centre or waste facility—simply toss green waste straight into the skip and continue working.
2. Suitable for Mixed Garden Waste
Unlike council garden waste collections that often restrict what you can dispose of, our skips can accommodate mixed garden waste.
3. Environmentally Responsible Disposal
At Bailey’s Skip Hire and Recycling, we’re committed to responsible waste management. Green waste collected in our skips is processed properly, reducing what ends up in landfill.
4. Cost-Effective Solution
For larger garden projects, hiring a skip works out more economical than multiple trips to the tip or paying for extra garden waste collections—not to mention saving you valuable time and fuel.
What Size Skip Do You Need?
For garden projects, we typically recommend:
- 2-3 yard mini skips: Ideal for small garden tidy-ups or single project waste
- 4-6 yard midi skips: Perfect for medium-sized landscaping projects
- 8 yard builders skips: Best for complete garden redesigns or large property clearances
Not sure what size you need? Our friendly team can advise based on your specific project requirements.
Planning Your Garden Project with a Skip
- Timing is everything: Schedule your skip delivery to coincide with the start of your project
- Consider placement: Position your skip on a driveway or front garden for easy access. If you don’t have a garden we can help with permits for it to be placed on the roadside.
- Sort as you go: Though mixed waste is accepted, separating green waste from other materials where possible helps with recycling
- Loading tips: Place heavier items at the bottom, fill gaps with smaller waste, and avoid overloading
