GARDEN WASTE SKIP HIRE GUIDE – WHAT WASTE CAN YOU PUT IN?

Whether you’re having a big clear out or you’re busy giving your garden a much-needed facelift, it’s likely that you’ll be left with a lot of garden waste. The good news is, there are lots of ways to dispose of your garden waste efficiently and affordably, leaving you with a perfectly tidy garden in time for summer.

Here’s our guide to everything you need to know about garden waste skip hire.

WHAT MATERIALS ARE CONSIDERED GARDEN WASTE?

Garden waste is anything from grass, leaves and twigs, right through to weeds, soil, turf and lawn. Many projects also produce other hardcore materials, such as waste patio slabs, bricks, and rubble that will need disposing of.

All of these materials can go into a skip to be safely taken care of.

Alongside this, garden waste such as garden furniture and plant pots can also be collected.

WHAT SKIP SIZE IS RIGHT FOR YOUR GARDEN WASTE?

Skips come in a range of sizes, meaning they are great for accommodating your garden waste, whether you’ve got a small allotment  and just need to dispose of a bit of soil, or you have a large garden with lots of waste to get rid of.

If you’ve got a lot of waste, it may be wise to order a large skip as it’s better to have more space than not enough. However, if you’ve got a few different types of materials, it’s best to split the materials into separate piles, and our HIPPOBAGs offer the perfect solution to tackle your garden waste needs.

We understand that hiring a skip can sometimes be confusing. Not knowing what size to choose is a common problem, which is why we wrote this skip size guide.

If you’re looking for the cost of hiring a skip in your area, we’ve got a helpful and easy-to-use skip-hire postcode tool, that identifies the cost for you. Simply type in your postcode and we’ll show you the price of each available size.

DO YOU NEED A PERMIT FOR A GARDEN SKIP?

Even if you’re hiring a skip to use for garden waste, you may still need a permit. Unless you can stow the skip on your private land, a permit will be required. We can take care of this for you and we’ll include it in your order overview so you’re covered. However, you will need to ensure everything is set up before the skip arrives otherwise this could delay the skip being with you.

WHAT ARE HIPPOBAGS?
