Question 1

Learn more about Skip Hire in Sutton

Accepted Answer

Most of the available skip hire services in the London borough of Sutton are within easy reach of Sutton town centre and its surrounding areas, which makes them easily accessible for individuals, small businesses and construction clients. Arranging to have a skip delivered in any of the residential and industrial areas is made easy due to the number of local skip companies, and the provision from larger waste management companies who also cover Sutton.

Renting a skip allows a household to dispose of large quantities of general rubbish with the containers able to be collected on demand. Skip hire is also ideal for the many expanding businesses and smaller development projects in Sutton, many of whom hire anything from 4 to 16 yards for building works and ongoing construction projects.

One of the biggest advantages of skip hire is the flexibility of the service which allows you to keep a skip for as long as is needed when parked on private property. This allows skips to be used for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications, including when decluttering, conducting short DIY projects, and for garden waste disposal. You will, however, need to be conscious of the additional fees you will need to pay if you do not have enough space to park the skip on your property, and require a council permit to have it placed by the roadside.

Furthermore if there's anything you are not sure about, then you can always reach out to the team at Wayst, we will be able to advise you whether you are asking which skip size is better for a planned project or want to find out about which permits or licences you will need to contact the local authority about.

Question 3

Skip sizes explained

Accepted Answer

When checking skip sizes, the three main things to consider are the volume of the skip, the height of its sides, and the maximum weight it is able to hold.

Volume is generally the most important of the three when you are dealing with general mixed waste, and you will almost always see it expressed in yards or cubic yards.

Height, on the other hand, will only come into play when you are dealing with bulky waste or items that cannot be otherwise broken down, as filling your skip past its sides more than likely results in the skip lorry driver refusing to collect it for safety reasons.

Weight is also much less of a consideration when deciding the size of skip you want to rent unless you only have soil, rubble, or hardcore, as it is rare for general mixed waste to even come close to the 1 tonne limit per cubic yard.

Question 4

Skip hire alternatives

Accepted Answer

While skip hire remains one of the most efficient and cost-effective means of disposing of large quantities of waste, there are certainly times when other waste removal options available in Sutton might be more ideal.

When you are not sure, for instance, whether the amount of waste you expect to have will fill even a 4-yard skip, you should ask your provider if they also offer either skip bags or mini skips. In such cases, the service will work a lot more like basic bin collections, but it will also cost you a lot less than it would be to rent an actual skip when you do not need one.

Another situation where skip hire alternatives might be ideal would be when you need assistance with removing bulky waste, like unwanted furniture (sofas, mattresses, etc.) or major household appliances (fridges, washing machines, etc.). Labour is normally not part of skip hire, so when you want extra help, you may want to consider man and van type waste clearances, which is a true end-to-end disposal solution.

Question 5

What can I put in a skip?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to what you can and cannot put in your skip, consider that the two most common types of skips are mixed waste skips for general rubbish and inert waste skips, which are used for soil, sand, rubble, and other types of construction waste. Other types of skips may also be available from your skip hire provider, but the most important thing to remember is that mixed waste skips cost more than those for specific types of rubbish alone, so segregating your waste streams can lead to reduced waste costs.

Beyond those limitations, the usual waste disposal rules apply. This means that any types of rubbish you would not normally put in your regular household bins, like fluorescent tubes, gas bottles, electronic waste and hazardous waste, will likely not be allowed in your skip either; and while regular recycling and unwanted household items are technically allowed, there may be better ways to dispose of them.

Question 10

How is the local authority in Sutton handling your waste?

Accepted Answer

The council provides a detailed A-Z guide on their website for rubbish and recycling collection, and which bins to use for each of the materials listed. Any residual waste materials that are not suitable for recycling such as bubble wrap, nappy waste and plastic film are taken to the energy recovery facility (ERF) in Beddington where they are processed into fuel by incineration, and fed into the national grid tpo produce electricity. Leftover ash from the energy recovery process can also be used as an aggregate material in road building.

For trade waste disposal the council requests that potential clients contact them to work directly with their waste management partner Veolia to create a quote based on their specific requirements. The local council also plans to subsidise recycling collections for new businesses and where possible manage commercial food waste so that it is taken to the appropriate facility where it can be recovered through composting or anaerobic digestion to render it into fertilizer, gas or fuel. The energy recovery facility in Beddington benefits residents in Sutton by providing an alternative to landfill that not only protects the local environment but has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of heating and electricity in the future through the Sutton Decentralised Energy Network. The community benefit fund for local projects throughout Sutton and the other boroughs that are part of the south London waste partnership will also benefit residents directly by providing investment for community based projects that can apply for grants of up to £30,000 from the fund.

Question 11

What are the plans for a greener future in Sutton?

Accepted Answer

As a borough known for its award winning parks and densely wooded areas, Sutton’s future as one of London's greenest boroughs will depend on maintaining the 607 hectares of green space that it currently occupies. In addition to introducing greenery to built up areas, a large part planning for a greener future involves the conservation of natural parks and grassland and the preservation of historical buildings and architecture, as an alternative to new builds which inevitably cause environmental upheaval and pollution. Sutton has 4 historical conservation areas at the High Street Crossroads, Landseer Road, Sutton Gardens, and Grove Avenue, which are all examples of building and engineering from the 19th and 20th century that have been identified as either being historically significant to the development of the town or protected by greenbelt. The garden city movement which started in postwar Britain or ‘greenbelting’ as it is now known is the practice of balancing agricultural or natural conservation areas in between towns and cities to avoid over urbanisation. As farming has dwindled in recent years the pressure to develop in open countryside has increased and it is often up to already settled communities to challenge developments and protect the natural surroundings before planning permission is granted to private contractors.
