There are a number of reasons why The Rubbish Company can provide a better and cheaper alternative to skip hire and we've listed 10 of the more common ones below. If you were planning to hire a skip then you may want to think twice!
- Skips take up a lot of room and may mean you have to park your vehicle on the road (this may impact your car insurance policy)
- Skips can damage your driveway and look unsightly
- If a skip needs to go on a road it will require a skip permit (cost from £45)
- Looters may create a mess if removing items from your skip
- You will not be able to get a skip within the hour and have your rubbish cleared immediately
- You have to load a skip yourself
- Skips only take half the quantity of rubbish our vans can handle (therefore incurring 2 charges)
- Bulky items make loading a skip awkward
- Skip delivery vehicles struggle to deliver in narrow streets or busy parking areas
- Our price is confirmed when you book (you may have to pay for additional skip collections)
