Help for you and the environment with skip hire in Buntingford

Hiring a skip from Buntingford Skip Hire makes your life easier and gives the environment a helping hand too.

Stevenage Skip Hire sends all waste from Buntingford back to our primary recycling plant in Stevenage.

Getting rid of your unwanted waste materials and worn out household goods in Buntingford can be a time consuming and frustrating. Anything other than regular household waste is difficult to put in the wheelie bins that you put out on a weekly basis. If you do put anything other than household waste in them, there is a very good chance that the dustmen will refuse to take it, and then you are left with rubbish accumulating on your property.

A recent client from Buntingford had put their household recycling bin out for emptying, but the bin men refused to take it. It turned out that a passerby had put a crisp packet in the bin and soft plastic bags are not permitted in those bins. This was a regular occurrence, so the amount of waste had built up to the amount that required a skip to get rid of it.

A major tidy up in Buntingford

As our Buntingford client had so much rubbish to dispose of, they thought it would be a good idea to clear out the shed, garage and loft at the same time. It soon became clear that they had so much rubbish; they would need to hire more than one skip. It's amazing how much rubbish a typical household builds up over a period of time. There are old and often incomplete games and kids toys that were kept in the loft for some reason. They could never be sold as they were broken, but they are still kept. There are chairs, tables and other furniture that is considered just too good to dispose of, even though they will never be used again. Sometimes people store old furniture so that it can be passed onto their children when they get their first home, but their kids invariably buy new and the loft gets fuller and fuller. The other issue with allowing a loft to accumulate so much waste material is that it can create either a fire hazard, or at least lots of extra fuel should there be a fire and it can also put a huge amount of strain on the ceiling below.

The Buntingford name

Despite the oft cited theory, the name of Buntingford does not come from the bunting bird. Instead, it probably originates from the Saxon chieftain or tribe Bunta and the local ford running over the River Rib. Buntingford was the name of the ford and its surrounding areas, with Bunting being the name of a village located six miles to its north, which is translated from Old English as "place or people of Bunta". The earliest forms of the name Buntingford are Buntas Ford and Buntingeford, both of which date back to about 1185. The modern form Buntingford dates back to 1255. This roughly translates to "Ford of the people of Bunta". It should be noted that most place names that contain 'ford', generally refer to a river crossing point, with Buntingford being no exception.

History of Buntingford

Buntingford was first recorded in an 1185 Knights Templar land document. Henry III designated Buntingford as a market town by royal charter in 1253. Elizabeth de Burgh, 4th Countess of Ulster, relocated her market in Chipping to Buntingford in 1360, under permission from Edward III. She then gave the market to Buntingford town's residents, turning it into one of England's first community owned markets.

Buntingford was located traditionally within the parish of Layston - St Bartholomew's Church, previously derelict and now a house, lies about half a mile to the north-east of Buntingford. St Peter's Church, formerly a relief chapel, is the Anglican Church in Buntingford and is an almost unique brick building from the age of the 17th-century Puritans. St Richard's serves the Roman Catholic community. There is also a United Reformed Church in Baldock Road. Queen Elizabeth I is claimed to have stayed at Buntingford in a building now called the Bell House Gallery, on a coach journey to Cambridge. Just up the High Street, The Angel Inn, now a dental surgery, was a staging post for coaches travelling from London to Cambridge. The town has an annual firework display at The Bury, presented by Buntingford Town Football Club. The Prime Meridian passes to the east of Buntingford. Buntingford has many Georgian and medieval buildings, such as Buntingford almshouses, Buntingford Manor House and the Red House. Buntingford was a stop-over on what was the main route between London and Cambridge, now the A10.
