Here we have a list of the most common questions we are asked when hiring a skip. If your question is not answered here, do feel free to call us for advice or guidance.

What Size Skip Do I Need?

Tap Me To Find Out!

A 6-yard skip is suitable for most general household jobs, so this is the standard size we recommend for residential customers. For particularly heavy loads, we would recommend an 8-yard skip, which is ideal for soils, bricks and rubble. It’s the largest skip permitted on public highways.

What Price Should I Expect?

Tap Me To Find Out!

We calculate prices based on the size or volume of the skip you choose, and on the type of waste, you propose to fill it with. One additional cost that may be incurred is a permit that is required to place a skip on a public road.

Do You Take Cards For Payment?

Tap Me To Find Out!

Absolutely, but it doesn’t stop there, we have an online skip booking system for your convenience which means we can take payments securely. So yes, we can accept debit or credit cards, as well as cash on delivery of your skip when booked over the phone. If required, we’ll also arrange for a bank transfer.

How Long Can I Rent A Skip For?

Tap Me To Find Out!

You are free to decide in advance how long you need it, but our standard hire terms are up to 14 days per skip. We are however very flexible and if you would like your skip to be collected early or to extend your hire we can arrange this for you.

What Happens To The Waste?

Tap Me To Find Out!

We’re proud to say that 100% of your waste is likely to be recycled. Many building and construction materials are prepared for reuse, meaning there’s very little that we collect that ends up in landfills.

What Should I Not Do With My Skip?

Tap Me To Find Out!

Never move the skip once placed by the driver. Do not burn waste in or near the skip. Don’t overload. The skip must be filled at the maximum level at the top of the skip. Also, do not pour paint or leave paint in tins or any liquids into a skip. These will leak from drain holes, possibly onto your driveway, our truck, and vehicles following the truck. Asbestos is strictly prohibited. Any roof sheeting material, even concrete based products, must have a test certificate and be bagged separately. If it looks like asbestos, we will treat it as such until proved otherwise and refuse collection or return load as contaminated. Absolutely no exceptions to this rule.

What Sort Of Waste Can I Put In My Simpson's Skip?

Tap Me To Find Out!

We take most waste and recycle as much as we can. However, we cannot take hazardous waste, which includes: asbestos, paints and solvents, oils, tyres, gas bottles, fridges, freezers, TVs or monitors, air conditioning units, fluorescent tubes or light bulbs, gas bottles, medical waste, vehicle batteries and toxic waste.
