The Benefits of Long-Term Skip Hire

Skips are useful for all kinds of waste disposal needs, from house and garden clearances to large building projects. 

In some cases, you might just need to hire a skip for a day or two so that you can get rid of everything in one go. However, many projects involve waste being created bit by bit over a longer period, in which case you’ll need your skip available for more time.

In this article, we’re going to explore when and how long-term skip hire can be not only the most sensible solution but the most cost-effective one as well.

How long can I hire a skip for?

In general, you can hire a skip for up to two weeks at a time. However, if you find you’ll be needing one for longer, you can always arrange for one to be collected and another delivered at the same time to allow for continuous access.

Businesses that know they’ll be needing long-term skip hire from the outset can set up a trade account to make the whole experience easier to manage and even more affordable.

What are the benefits of long-term skip hire?

Avoiding regular trips to the tip!

If you’re carrying out a major project at your home or commercial site, long-term skip hire allows you to spend more time getting the job done and less time worrying about when and where you’ll be getting rid of the waste. Your only other option might be to take it down to your local recycling centre, which could be an extremely time-consuming process.

Meanwhile, many recycling centres are now limiting the number of times you can take waste to them or are restricting their use to those who pay council tax in the area.

This may mean you are unable to use the nearest tip at all, let alone as often as you might like to.

Convenience and tidiness

Having a skip to hand throughout the project means you’ve always got somewhere you can place any fresh waste.

And keeping your site clean and tidy in this way has further benefits, because it enables you to work much more efficiently than if you were constantly having to avoid assorted rubbish and debris scattered on the ground.

Even more importantly, keeping your site tidier with a skip is also considerably safer for those living and/or working there, because you’re reducing the risk of trip hazards and other accidents.

Disposing of large volumes of waste

Having a large skip for longer than just a few days allows you to dispose of considerably more waste than would otherwise be possible. With such a large selection of sizes available to hire, you’re sure to find the best option for your project from the range at Enfield Skips.
