Hiring an enclosed (lockable) skip?

Several factors come into play when choosing between an open or enclosed skip. An enclosed skip offers a range of benefits that make your project safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly. Below we discuss the main benefits and features.

An enclosed skip combines ease of use with optimal security. Its design is geared towards efficient waste management:

• Rear: One or two doors for loading large items of waste, such as planks or furniture.
• Sides: Usually fitted with hatches at chest height, ideal for smaller waste such as packaging material or residual waste.

This layout makes it easy to separate waste and store it efficiently, while keeping the contents secure.

Standard layout of a closed container:

• Left side: Two openings with small doors.
• Right side: Two openings with small doors.
• Rear: One or two walk-in doors.

For sensitive projects, such as clearing out old household items or commercially sensitive material, a closed container offers extra discretion. It stops curious passers-by from taking things, protecting both your privacy and the tidiness of your work area.

A closed container is a safe and practical solution for waste management. It prevents unwanted situations and helps your project run smoothly. Whether you are working on a large building job or a smaller renovation, a closed container is the reliable choice.

When hiring a closed container, it is important to know that the permitted waste streams depend on the type of container you order. Specific rules apply to each waste stream, so choosing the right container for your project is essential.

Putting the wrong waste in a container can lead to extra costs or even rejection at the waste processing facility. For example, if you put hazardous waste such as asbestos or chemicals in a container that is not intended for it, this can cause environmental problems and result in fines.

Hiring a closed container is easy and offers a practical solution for your waste management. Follow these steps to make the right choice:

Closed containers are available in various sizes, depending on your project:

• 10m³: Suitable for smaller projects, such as home renovations or gardening work.
• 20m³: Ideal for medium-sized projects, such as building alterations or large-scale clear-outs.
• 40m³: Perfect for large construction projects or long-term waste disposal.

Choose a size that matches the amount of waste you expect, so you don't run out of space or pay for capacity you don't use.

If you place a closed container on your own property, you usually don't need a permit. But will the container be placed on a public road or in a car park? Then check with your local council whether you need to apply for a permit. This way you avoid fines and unnecessary delays.

Waste companies offer flexible delivery and collection options. This means you can have the container delivered at a time that suits you best. As soon as the container is full or your project is finished, you can book a collection. By planning clearly in advance, you ensure efficient waste disposal without interruptions.

Hiring a closed skip is the ideal way to dispose of your waste safely and tidily. With the right size, a permit where needed and a clear schedule, you can focus entirely on your project. Get in touch with us and find out which closed skip best suits your needs!

A closed skip offers plenty of benefits for efficient waste management. It protects the waste from the weather, such as rain and wind, prevents fly-tipping and improves safety because unauthorised people can't get to it. A closed skip also keeps things private, as the contents can't be seen, and stops waste from blowing about, which helps keep the work area neat and clean. And because waste is kept separate and protected, a closed skip also supports sustainable waste management and recycling. That makes it a versatile and reliable choice for all kinds of projects.

What you can put in a closed skip depends on the type of skip you choose. This can include construction and demolition waste, wood, metal, plastic, rubble or green waste. Hazardous substances such as asbestos and chemical waste are not allowed. Check with the hire company beforehand so you know for sure which materials can go in the skip, and avoid extra charges for putting in the wrong waste.

The space needed depends on the size of the skip. A 20m³ skip, for example, takes up two parking spaces. For smaller projects, a 10m3 skip may be enough.
