Why Hire a Skip for Garden Renovations?

As the weather starts to get warmer, there’s no better time to make a start on those home improvement projects you’ve had lined up to get your property summer-ready.

When undertaking a garden renovation project, many homeowners underestimate how much waste is generated.

For such a task, preparation is key to ensure you don’t fall short part-way through and end up having to delay the work because you’re waiting for a skip. 

Read on to find out how hiring a skip will help with your garden renovation, including the type of waste you can put in a skip and key safety tips.

Maintain a tidy work environment

When carrying out any work in your garden, a great deal of waste can quickly accumulate, creating a cluttered working environment.

Soil, mulch, plants and construction materials can become trip hazards and can hinder the ability to work efficiently.

Hiring a skip will eliminate this problem as the waste can be thrown into a safe container away from the garden area, freeing up space to work in a clutter-free environment. 

Save time taking trips to the tip

By collecting all your garden waste in a skip as you progress through the project, you are saving yourself a great deal of time travelling to and from the tip. By doing so, you are also saving money on petrol, meaning your project isn’t disrupted by time delays or extra expense.

Choice of a range of skip sizes

The range of skip sizes available means that you’re not tied down to paying for a size that is too big for the amount of waste generated from your project. Here at Enfield Skips, our domestic skips range from:

• 3-yard mini skips: holds approximately 20 filled bin bags
• 4-yard midi skips: holds approximately 40 filled bin bags
• 7-yard midi skips: holds approximately 55 filled bin bags
• 12-yard maxi skips: holds approximately 80 filled bin bags

Different types of garden waste accepted in a skip

Before booking a skip for your garden renovation, it’s important to know which types of garden waste you can put into a skip to ensure it is suitable for your project. We accept the following types of garden waste in our skips: 

• Soil
• Plants, mulch and grass cuttings
• Rocks
• Fencing
• Building materials
• Garden furniture

Any hazardous or harmful waste – such as gas cylinders and paint – is not accepted in a skip, so it’s worth confirming the materials you will be disposing of at the point of booking.

Recycle responsibly

By hiring a skip from a reputable company, such as Enfield Skips, you can rest assured knowing that all of the garden waste generated from your project will be handled responsibly.

All waste will be filtered into categories by our experienced team for efficient recycling and disposal. As a responsible waste disposal company, we aim to recycle at least 90% of the waste we collect from each skip at our purpose-built recycling plant.
