SKIP HIRE  - SIZES & FAQ's

The Trusted Choice for Skip Hire in        Hampshire and West Sussex

​

Choosing the right skip size is crucial for efficient and cost-effective waste removal. Start by assessing the volume and type of waste you need to dispose of. Smaller skips (2-4 cubic yards) are ideal for household clearances or small DIY projects, while medium skips (6-8 cubic yards) suit larger renovations or garden clean-ups. For major construction or commercial jobs, a larger skip (12 cubic yards) may be required. Avoid overfilling, as this can lead to extra charges. Consider the space available for delivery and collection, and if unsure, opt for a slightly larger size to avoid underestimating your needs. If you have any questions you can call us on 02392 486589

What types of waste can you put in the skip?

The best way to know what to throw into the skip is to point out what should not be in the skip. These are some products that should not be discarded into the skip. These are generally items that are considered ‘hazardous waste’ and therefore need to be disposed of in a controlled manner.

  • Asbestos

  • Tree roots

  • Bitumen

  • Fridges, freezers, AC units

  • Gas cylinders

  • Liquids/chemicals (inc. paint)

  • Plasterboard (unless you have ordered a plasterboard skip)

  • Tyres

  • TVs and PCs screens

  • Mattresses

*It is important to note that when these products are detected in your skip, you can incur additional charges for them.

​

What is a Skip Hire License?

If you have to put a skip on a public road instead of private land, you will usually require a skip licence. Any skip in a public space is called an ‘on-road’ skip. A licence must be obtained before you place the skip in a public space. To obtain the licence an application must be made to the local authority for the area in which the skip is to be placed. If your skip does need a licence Maxi Skips will apply for one on your behalf and handle to the process for you. You will need to pay the relevant charges and wait for a few days for the licence to be issued. If your skip does need a licence, we will provide you with all the relevant information, including additional costs, at the time of booking.

​

How Long Does the Skip Hire Last?
