Skip Hire Help!

February 19th, 2009 by The BookaSkip United Kingdom Skip Hire Team

During January, a man in Leeds had to pay a £38,000 bill; the cost to clean up his household rubbish which was attracting rats. It took 17 skips to haul away the junk!!!

Don’t let your rubbish get the better of you, if you are thinking of cleaning up before the council kicks you out, check out the pricing that presents at www.bookaskip.co.uk.
Don’t miss out on the cheapest prices, those skips book out first, so it pays to order in advance (although you can order for the next day if you wish!)

Waste Permit?

July 24th, 2008 by The BookaSkip United Kingdom Skip Hire Team

What is a Waste Permit?
A Waste Permit is a written document giving authorization or official permission for Skip Placement.

Why do I need a Waste Permit?
Most councils require that skips being placed on a Public Highway or council land (i.e. the berm) need to have a skip permit, this is done in the interest of public safety. In some postcodes private land placement also requires a permit for the same reason.

How do I get a Waste Permit?
Contact your local council directly as one council’s expectations may differ to others. They will advise if you need a permit for your skip placement and how to go about applying for one.

If you book your skip at www.bookaskip.co.uk you will be asked if you require a permit, normally the permit will be arranged by the supplier, however some local councils require the hirer of the skip to apply so you will be advised of this requirement on the bookaskip page where the “Best Price” for your skip hire is presented.

How long will it take to get a Waste Permit?
Depending on your postcode the processing time (and cost ) may differ, your local council will be able to advise of information specific to you. www.bookaskip.co.uk can calculate the council’s required time within your rental time frame.

Sometimes it is better (easier!) to let someone else arrange the smaller details, try booking your skip at www.bookaskip.co.uk
