Hiring a skip from Clifton Skip Hire is far less work and stress than the time-consuming weekend trip to the local refuse recycling centre.
Stevenage Skip Hire sends all waste from Clifton back to our primary recycling plant in Stevenage.
Hiring a skip from Clifton Skip Hire is the best way to avoid the endless queue outside your local household waste recycling centre. Skip hire is also a fantastic way to keep your stress levels to a minimum. Taking your waste materials to the dump can really put your nerves on edge. The constant worry of ending up with a puncture from something the vehicle in front of you has dropped. Flat tyres are a major headache, particularly on newer cars. Older cars tend to have a spare tyre in case of a puncture, which buys you some time before you have to get the main tyre repaired. Newer cars tend to have a tube of compound that can be injected into the tyre to mesh over the hole a little like Kevlar fibres. Unfortunately, these are a one-use solution, and you are still strongly advised to get the puncture properly repaired as soon as possible.
Picture this, spending hour after hour loading your rubbish into your car or trailer, only to be told by the staff at the local tip that they won't accept rubbish from trailers, or that they believe that the waste is commercial so they won't take it. Yes, this does actually happen! Many of our clients have taken old plaster or render from a DIY job to the dump only to be refused when they get there.
Also, to save the interior of their cars, many people who have messy DIY rubbish to dispose of, or those that have undertaken a major overhaul of their garden will hire a van to take the waste away. The operatives at recycling plants often assume that any white vans are commercial vehicles, so insist on a waste carriers license, when it is merely household waste. We have heard accounts of refusal to take waste even when the hire paperwork has been shown, or proof of non-waste generating work if the van is a company vehicle. In short, it can be very frustrating if you have queued for hours only to be turned away when you finally reach the front of the queue. The rules on Waste management have become pretty strict over recent years and the local authorities are under increasing pressure to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill.
Clifton is a picturesque village and civil parish in the county of Bedfordshire. The original hundred of Clifton is named after it.
The original "hundred" comprised: The Parishes of Arlesey; Campton-Cum-Shefford; Chicksands; Clifton; Henlow; Holwell; Meppershall; part of Shillington; Lower Stondon; Little Holwell; Stotfold; Upper Stondon.
The first recorded reference to Clifton is in the year 944 when it is referred to as Cliftune. Clifton is also mentioned in the Domesday Book. The entry reads:
Cliftone: William de Cairon from Bishop of Lincoln, Eudo FitzHubert and Nigel d'Aubigny; Leofwin from St. Benedict's of Ramsey; Alwin from Countess Judith. Two mills.
All Saints Church in Clifton, built in the 14th and 15th centuries was heavily restored in the nineteenth century.
Clifton village is now a popular place to live as a consequence of its good transport links and proximity to the railway station at Arlesey.
Clifton was voted Bedfordshire Village of the Year in 2003, 2005 and 2009. It is today largely residential, but in the past, it was a centre for straw plaiting. The original All Saints school was a "Straw Plait School" where children were expected to learn to plait straw from as young as four years of age. They would also be taught to read.
There was also once a small factory producing bottled drinks. Harwoods Mineral Water Factory operated from 1880 until 1947. Harwoods produced Hops Bitters, Cherry Cider, Stone Ginger Beer, Lime Juice and Soda, and Ginger Ale and sold them to the pubs and shops of all the surrounding villages.
Samuel Whitbread Academy, named after the celebrated brewer who was born in nearby Cardington is also located in the village of Clifton. Clifton was visited by the Queen and Prince Philip on 17 November 2006 as part of a visit to reopen the school.
Facilities in Clifton include a lower school, butcher, post office, a village store and two public houses, namely The Golden Lion and The Admiral. There is also an Indian restaurant, garage, petrol station, and a hairdresser. There is a small group of businesses located in converted farm buildings at Clifton Bury farm.
At the northern edge of the village is Clifton Cricket Club which plays at the Claybridge Ground.
Football is played at the Recreation ground. The Community Centre, with its large car park, is located at the Northern end of the Recreation Ground. All Saints' Church Hall is situated in Stanford Lane.
There is a beautiful duckpond in the centre of the village, giving Clifton a typically historic English village vibe.
