Stevenage Skip Hire

When summer arrives, the jobs we've been putting off pile up to the point they can't be avoided any longer — and almost any DIY brings an element of waste. New laminate flooring leaves off-cuts to dispose of, never mind the old flooring it's replacing. Hard landscaping is worse still: soil, old fencing and posts, often with huge lumps of concrete still attached, all need to go somewhere. A skip is the simplest way to clear it in one hit.

Stevenage has a decent municipal refuse facility, but for a big clear-out a skip makes far more sense than carting load after load to the tip — and the tip won't take everything anyway. Tell us what you're shifting and we'll point you to the right size and flag anything that needs handling separately. A few things can go in only if they are declared when you book, and some cannot go in at all — the booking asks, and the acceptable waste policy has the full list.

Two rules worth remembering once your skip arrives. First, don't overfill it: never load above the wall height, as an over-full skip is both an offence and a genuine hazard on the road. Second, you're responsible for what ends up inside it, so if it's sitting on the street it's worth covering it overnight — opportunists have been known to top up a hired skip with everything from litter to a whole sofa.

If your skip needs to stand on a public road or verge rather than your own driveway, you'll need a Hertfordshire highway permit. We arrange that for you as part of the booking, advise on cones and lighting where needed, and keep you the right side of the regulations — so there's nothing for you to chase with the council.
