Skips are handy types of equipment to hire, providing a reliable and convenient way to waste materials from renovation projects on-site. Hiring a skip for the very first time may feel daunting, however there are easy ways to prepare. Read on to discover how to adequately prepare for your hired skip to arrive, helping to reduce any anxieties you may have about the process.
Before Delivery
Before your skip arrives, it’s important to clear the space where your skip will sit, ensuring that your delivery driver has a clear and level surface. It’s key to think about where your skip might be best placed. One popular location is a driveway, as these can get reality close to any buildings and therefore provide a convenient place to dispose of waste. You might also consider notifying your neighbours of the upcoming delivery, especially if it might inconvenience them in any way.
Delivery Day
Once the delivery day arrives, there are a few key things that will happen. Your driver should give you a rough idea of when they may arrive, ensuring that you can make yourself available during the delivery period. Once they have arrived, you can start to guide them to where you might like the skip placed, ensuring that it is out of the way of key access points. Remember to always communicate with the skip delivery driver as the delivery takes place.
Post-Delivery
Once your skip has arrived and been placed correctly, you should be able to start using the skip. When using your skip, make sure to carry out safe skip loading practices, such as evenly distributing the weight and avoid overloading. Remember to also take into account the guidelines your skip hire company has set out for you in terms of using the skip itself, as there may be some specific rules you must adhere to.
Collection
Once your rental period is complete, your provider will organise and carry out the skip collection. The experienced drivers will arrive at your site with the appropriate vehicle to safely lift and transport the filled skip. Following collection, the skip will then be taken to the company’s licensed waste transfer station, where the contents will be sorted, recycled, and otherwise disposed of appropriately.
