Letchworth Skip Hire

Hiring a skip is a must when you tackle a spring clean, or some soft or hard landscaping at your Letchworth home. There's nothing worse than living with piles of rubbish stacked around the place — and it's not much fun for the neighbours either. In fact, council figures show that rubbish heaped around a house and garden draws roughly as many complaints from neighbours as boundary disputes do. Don't risk falling out over it: tell us what you're clearing and we'll advise on the right size skip for the job and drop it to your door.

That's good for the environment, and it means your waste will never end up dumped in a quiet country lane, as some unscrupulous operators do after charging for collection. We are a registered waste carrier and broker, and the work is done by licensed carriers who take whatever can't be recycled to a permitted facility.

It's worth knowing that householders carry a legal 'duty of care' to hand their waste only to a licensed carrier — and fines for those whose waste is later found fly-tipped are now a real risk. You can check any carrier in seconds on the Environment Agency's website by entering their business name or registration number. Use a registered carrier and keep the waste transfer note, and that worry simply disappears.

If your skip can sit on your own driveway rather than the public highway, you'll save the cost and time of a permit — and you'll deter the odd cheeky passer-by from filling it with their own rubbish. Where the skip does need to go on the road, we'll arrange the Hertfordshire permit for you as part of the booking, so there's nothing for you to chase with the council.
