    FAQ's

    Here at A1 Skips, we understand that there is definitely not a ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to skip hire! After all, every client has a different set of requirements, which is why we strive to cater to the needs of anyone and everyone. To do this, we offer a range of skip sizes that are so diverse that we’re sure you’ll find one that suits your requirements.

    The size of skip you’re looking for will be dependant on a variety of factors, including what it is needed for and the scale of the job at hand. This is why you should carefully evaluate the sizes available as part of our Chorley skip hire service and decide based off extensive research and an element of common sense as to how much storage space you’ll need.

    Of course, it’s impossible to calculate exactly how much room your waste will take up in your skip size of choice, this is why we recommend that you play it safe when looking to hire. You should do this by hiring a skip that is a size larger than you intend to use. This way, you can comfortably dispose of all of your waste without worrying about overflow that can cause an unsafe environment and could result in our refusal to take the skip unless it is emptied.

    This gives you the peace of mind that your waste will be disposed of in a way that is cheaper than hiring multiple skips and hassle free.

    The answer to this question depends on where you want to place your skip. If your skip will be placed on your own private land, then you needn’t worry about obtaining a permit. If you own the land, then feel free to put your skip there as it cannot interfere with anyone else.

    However, one of the most popular locations for a skip is on the roadside, with many people unaware that a permit is required in order for your skip to be placed here. After all, your skip could result in the disruption of daily life for cars or pedestrians on the pavement, so if this is the case, let our Chorley skip hire team know when booking your skip. It’s crucial that you inform our team of where you intend to place your skip, as if you put the skip on public land without a permit, you could be hit with a fine. Our team are able to protect you from this penalty, ensuring that the whole process is done to the letter.

    Although a small fee is needed to pay for the permit, depending on your local council, we will do the hard work and liaise with the necessary parties to obtain it ready for when your skip is needed. It’s as simple as that!

    People need skips for a variety of different reasons, for projects that are so wide ranging that it’s impossible to presume everyone requires a skip for the same period of time! We understand that some people may need a skip for a single day whilst others might require its use for much longer as part of a large scale project.

    With this in mind, we provide our customers with a window of 3 weeks before we come and collect your skip, as we feel this gives you more than enough time to complete your project so we can come and empty your skip and hire it out to someone else.

    Of course, many people only need their skips for a few days, never mind a few weeks! That’s why, if you contact our skip hire Chorley experts, we arrange a time to pick up your skip whenever you are finished with it. However, if you need an extension on this three week period, we can also work with you to give you any extra time you need, although this will incur an additional fee.

    With our entirely flexible service, you have freedom over how long you need your skip for, simply give us a call when you’re finished!

    In order to keep a skip safe, it mustn’t be overfilled by any amount. It may seem like a rule that can be loosened, but it can seriously affect the surrounding areas if your skip is bursting at the seams. They could potentially fall out of the skip at any point, injuring passers by or damaging property. Moreover, any high winds could also pose the same hazards to those in the immediate vicinity.

    If any of the items you’ve disposed of raise higher than the edges of the skip itself, this is a clear indication that it is overloaded with waste. When this happens, our fleet driver may refuse to take these items as it’s simply not safe to do so.

    To make sure that your skip will be taken when our skip hire Chorley team come to visit, you should look to fill it efficiently and with space constraints in mind. We recommend that you place your largest items in first so you can work around the space that they take up. You can also place heavier items on top to weigh down and flatten the lighter items and create more space to play with that way.

    To be on the safe side, it’s worth hiring a slightly bigger skip than you need. Not only will this prevent you from filling your skip before you’ve finished your project, but it will also prevent you from overloading it and needing to hire a second skip to accommodate the excess materials.

    At A1 Skips, we pride ourselves on making sure that our methods of waste disposal are 100% environmentally friendly. Of course, this is how all companies should operate as we all work together in ensuring the health of our planet. We kindly ask that you don’t dispose of hazardous or harmful materials such as paint, tyres, medical waste, oil, and fluorescent tubes amongst others that need to be recycled elsewhere.

    We carefully decide which materials are accepted in our skips so we can recycle each effectively. Should a prohibited material make its way into one of our skips, we waste vital time and fuel distributing it to its relevant recycling centre.

    On pickup, our Chorley skip hire experts will evaluate the contents of the skip and take it to the nearest recycling centre in the area to dispose of it in a way that is efficient and won’t negatively impact the environment. This not only gives you the peace of mind that your waste is heading to the right place, but also helps us to minimise our carbon footprint.
