How Mini Skips are used for household waste

Hoarding has become an issue over the past few years, with homeowners often just having too much stuff for the amount of space they are dedicating to storage. This is where DP Skip Hire can help.

In these situations, the best decision is to hire one of our skips, and get rid of those unwanted household items and stop the build-up of unpleasant or life-affecting waste.

Why are Mini Skips best for clearing household waste?

There are a number of different skips available for clearing your home, but it is extremely important to remember where you are positioning your skip. Whether this is your front garden, driveway or even on the street in front of your home – choosing a compactly designed skip can be more practical.

Mini skips are smaller than traditional or builder’s skips, but they are still ideal for a number of different materials and can still hold a great deal of waste.

This type of skip eliminates the need to load your waste into your own car and make countless trips back and forth to the local tip. Having your waste destination so close to home massively increases the chances of getting your home clear of unwanted waste. When you are able to throw something away by just walking to the end of your drive, saves plenty of time and fuss.

What household materials can go in mini-skip hire?

Mini-skips are able to hold every kind of waste that larger skips can, such as –

Papers (including magazines, ruined books and newspapers)
Unwanted furniture
Decorative materials, including wallpaper, tiles and carpets
General household waste, such as toys and packaging

Please note there are things that cannot go into the skip, including any hazardous materials. You will not be able to place any of the following materials into your mini-skip –

Paint
Liquids
Light bulbs and batteries
Chemicals
Electrical waste (WEEE)
Solvents

Complete and utter waste of time. Called on the supposed day of delivery at 10am as skip had not yet arrived, nor had I had any communication since booking online. Each person I spoke to simply didn't have a clue as to what was going on, didn't have my name, address or number, couldn't find my booking (despite taking payment) and that I'd have to wait for the Transport Manager after making 3 calls. I'd booked the skip days in advance and booked a day off work to complete a project. Finally after 3 calls, they'd located said skip but couldn't give me a time of delivery, stating "some time in the afternoon". I duly cancelled, called around other businesses and had a skip delivered within the hour. Won't be using again.

I booked a skip on a Sunday for next-day delivery which was a bank holiday. I received an email from Jon immediately after booking letting me know that it might be a couple of days later owing to the impact of Covid-19 which was totally understandable. The skip still arrived on the bank holiday which was hugely appreciated and we're awaiting collection now. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again, excellent service.

Been using these guys a lot for our farm, they always answer the phone promptly, they call in advance if requested, the drivers are polite and helpful and their pricing is better than other companies in the area. This is how you run a business.

07.01 and the skip truck comes up the street on a weekend, no consideration from the driver whilst loading revving the old diesel truck unnecessarily high waking literally everybody up in the street... Might of taken the driver and extra minute or two without the revs being so high, but no if he's up were all up!

Used them a few times now:Skips: Dropped off an hour after booking late on a Friday. Picked up first thing Monday morning. Their top soil is a BARGAIN! And extremely good quality. Aggregates:- slightly pricier than others, but with the free delivery, even on a single bag, this makes up for it and is probably why. (Others want 15quid to deliver)All in all, I personally can't really fault them!
