Each day we spend time cleaning up after ourselves in our homes, at work and while out and about. Discarding empty food wrappers, plastic bottles and other items has become something we do without even thinking.

However, there are times when we need to discard a lot more than everyday refuse, and this can become a problem. Fly-tipping is rightly a criminal offence, so what can we do if we need to dispose of multiple items of refuse, doing so in an easy and convenient way? The solution for you could very well be skip hire.

Benefits of skip hire

Hiring a skip doesn’t need to be expensive and can be much easier than taking frequent trips to the local tip. Taking bulky items to the tip can be backbreaking and leave you with a messy vehicle and aching limbs.

In contrast, a skip is normally delivered to the address where it’s required and placed in a convenient area outdoors so that you can deposit items of refuse with ease.

There are also environmentally-friendly waste disposal companies that offer skip hire and will recycle items they collect. Visit www.envirowaste.co.uk/skip-hire for more information.

Here are some situations in which you might benefit from hiring a skip.

Moving home

They say it’s up there with death and divorce as one of the most stressful things we go through. But there are things we can do to make moving house a little easier.

Often, it’s not until we’re packing to move to a new house that we find unwanted items that have been hidden away in storage. Some things can be recycled, given away to charity or donated to friends and family, but skip hire can be an easy and quick way to dispose of items that are unusable or out of date.

Home renovations

If you have plans to remodel your bathroom, kitchen or fitted wardrobes, these activities result in a substantial amount of refuse and require the removal of bulky items.

Having a skip to collect all the rubbish in – knowing it will be swiftly taken care of when the work is finished – can be very helpful.

Garage or shed clear-out

Over the years we accumulate clutter and unusable items in our garages and sheds. Some of this we might be saving for a rainy day or just in case we ever need such things, but over time items rust, become mouldy, or just simply end up old and unwanted.

Having a skip to hand can be extremely helpful as you clear out the area, and motivate you to turn your outdoor dumping ground into a useful space where you can store items you really need and use. In the end, you might even have room for a workshop!

Gardening

Maybe you’re considering remodelling your garden or getting rid of shrubs, tree stumps or other bulky vegetation? Unwanted trees, hedges, weeds, old plant pots and trellis can mount up to a whole lot of refuse.

Green waste can usually be recycled in green bins, of course, but when renovating our garden we are typically left with more waste than can fit. A skip can be an easy and quick way to dispose of garden waste, while giving you the room you need to carry out your outdoor space improvements.

Summary

When you’re embarking on a project, getting a skip to help you dispose of your rubbish can save you much time, energy and stress. It enables you to deposit the refuse in one easy-to-access area, knowing that it will be sent away and dealt with quickly and easily.

So, if you find yourself having a good old spring clean with more unwanted garbage than you expected, why not consider skipping?
