Always a difficult question, you need to look at and roughly calculate how much waste you have to dispose
of.
As a rough guide, level filled, each skip will hold 'approximately';

Due to high disposal costs, OVER FILLING OR OVERLOADING A SKIP WILL ALWAYS INCUR AN EXCESS CHARGE!
AN EXCESS CHARGE WILL BE INCURRED IF A SKIP IS OVERLOADED OR IF
THE WEIGHT OF THE WASTE IS OVER THE SPECIFIED WEIGHT LIMIT.
Our current Waste Disposal Excess Charge for INERT Waste per pro rata tonne (including VAT) is £24.00
Our current Waste Disposal Excess Charge for Non Hazardous MIXED Waste is £215.00 per pro rata tonne or cubic metre whichever is the greater.
In our experience, Customers VERY RARELY say "I wish we
had ordered a smaller Skip" and RARELY is a Skip not full upon collection!
It is far more economical to order a larger Skip and not quite fill it, than it is to have one smaller Skip, fill it and then still need
another.
Yes, definitely! We offer a discount for Skips
containing just ONE of the following; Metal, Untreated Timber, UPVC Frames (No Glass or Beading), Cardboard, Paper,
Glass, Hardcore and Light Weight Greenery (Subject to conditions). Email or telephone us for further details.
Our disposal charges are based on both the weight of the waste within the skip and the time that it takes to sort it. Hence, if for example,
Soil & Bricks were placed in one Skip and any other waste placed either in a separate Skip or even placed in one of our Dumpy Recycling
Bags, the price would be a lot cheaper!
Segregating the waste WITHIN a Skip helps too, i.e., placing the Soil and Bricks in the bottom of Skip and placing
the other waste on the top, allows us to simply remove the other waste first at the disposal site and as such, the price would be
cheaper.
We recommend that, if possible, the Skip
is sited on your property, as siting on the Public Highway * involves us having to obtain a Highway Licence from the Highways Department.
Assuming there are no parking restrictions where the skip is to be sited, the minimum charges and the minimum period of notice required for the applications to
be processed are as shown below;
Northamptonshire; £53.00 per week with 3 FULL WORKING DAYS NOTICE REQUIRED (Monday - Friday)
Warwickshire....... NOT AVAILABLE
We are unable to obtain Highway Licences for Warwickshire, Leicestershire or Oxfordshire
* The Public Highway is normally any land outside of your garden fence/wall/property boundary;
This includes The Grass Verge, Pavements, Parking Areas, Lay-Bys and the Road.
Be aware that just because you mow the grass outside of your house does not mean that you own it!
IMPORTANT: ONCE A SKIP ORDER IS CONFIRMED AND WE HAVE APPLIED FOR A HIGHWAY LICENCE, THE APPLICATION CHARGE IS NON REFUNDABLE AND IS
CHARGEABLE TO THE CUSTOMER, EVEN IF THE SKIP ORDER IS AMENDED OR CANCELLED!
Our lorries are large, heavy, wide
and long and we require enough manoeuvring space to enable our lorries to be able to safely gain access to your property.

tonnes.

hidden under gravel/stone).
