Question 2

Skip hire prices in North West London

Accepted Answer

The base cost of hiring a 6 yard builder skip in North West London is £265 including VAT, which is generally consistent across skip hire companies. However, additional fees can vary the overall cost when skips need to be parked on council property or a controlled parking zone (CPZ).

Skip permits are a council requirement in every London borough and as with other areas in the city, prices can fluctuate in northwest London, depending on the local authority area. In Camden for example, a parking bay suspension certificate is £57 per day, compared with a one off charge of £50 in Ealing for an unlimited time, making it the cheapest borough in north west London to rent a skip, amounting to an average of £365, compared with more than double that amount in Westminster at £889 to rent a container of the sam size.

Question 3

What size skip do I need?

Accepted Answer

Most waste disposal projects for which a customer needs a skip can be worked out based on the total number of standard rubbish bags that can fit into a corresponding container size. Customers will then need to ensure that they either have enough private land to park the skip such as a front garden or driveway, or have budgeted for additional costs beforehand, to avoid penalty fees from the council.

To help you choose the best-sized skip for your home or waste management needs, here is a detailed size guide that includes the equivalent number of standard black refuse sacks per skip, plus the skip dimensions in feet so you know where you have room to place it.

- 2 yard skip (4 x 3 x 3 feet) is equal to 35 refuse sacks
- 4 yard skip (6 x 4 x 3 feet) is equal to 40 refuse sacks
- 6 yard skip (10 x 4 x 4 feet) is equal to 60 refuse sacks
- 8 yard skip (12 x 6 x 4 feet) is equal to 80 refuse sacks
- 10 yard skip (12 x 6 x 6 feet) is equal to 100 refuse sacks
- 12 yard skip (13 x 6 x 6 feet) is equal to 120 refuse sacks

This is important for clients planning to park a skip, front gardens or garages, however customers also need to bear in mind that the trucks used for delivery and collection need enough room to back away from the skip in order to load and unload it from the truck.

Question 4

Where can I put a skip?

Accepted Answer

It is essential to know if your local council has placed any extra limitations on parking a skip prior to contacting a service provider and paying for the container. Here are the things that you may need to consider:

- Roadside parking limitations such as single yellow lines
- Occupying a space in a controlled parking zone (CPZ)
- Extras for increasing visibility such as cones, reflectors and hazard lights
- Expiry dates of council permits and options for renewal.

Applying for a skip permit from the local council is the first step for clients who need to take up a public space or occupy a controlled parking zone (CPZ) for their hired skips. This can be processed by the skip hire company unless the council only accepts applications submitted directly by the individual or organisation using the skip.

Question 5

Skip sizes explained

Accepted Answer

With a wide variety of skips available to lease across north west London, choosing one can be overwhelming, especially when you are not sure about the size. Finding the right-sized skip will ensure that you don't end up with wasted containers by booking a skip that is either too big or too small for your needs. As a rough guide, mini 2 yard skips are ideal for simple DIY projects, and garden cleanups, which can fit approximately 20 bin bags of mixed waste material. Midi 4 yard skips are best used for refitting a room as they can fit up to 40 bags of mixed waste including industrial and garden waste. 6 yard builder skips are most suitable for residential building sites, and can accommodate up to 60 rubbish sacks.

Question 6

Skip hire alternatives

Accepted Answer

While skip hire is the most popular choice for many households and businesses, it might not always be possible if additional costs exceed your budget, or you lack the necessary space around your property to allow the skip to be dropped.

Wayst provides several other options in place of skips, such as skip bags and man and van type wait and load services, where rubbish is loaded directly onto the truck before being removed from the premises straight away. The most popular are man and van services which are available immediately and include all the manual labour involved in waste collection as part of the service, providing swift and efficient loading of waste materials, waste segregation, and even a postoperative clean up of the premises. Other options include skip bags that can accommodate 1.5 tonnes of waste, (roughly the contents of an entire room) and are collected with a grab lorry once they are full. Skip bags have the advantage of being less likely to cause damage when they are placed on driveways and tarmac, and as they do not require a parking permit they can often work out to be far more affordable than traditional skips.
