Why hire a skip when you can save your money and take your rubbish to the tip yourself?
Well, for starters, what should be a simple trip to the local tip is not as simple as it used to be. Back in the day, before the video game revolution, we all went to the local tip on a Sunday with our dads. It was almost a ritual! Whether it was clearing away the garden waste, finally binning the scrap wood that had been accumulating on racks in the shed or garage that dad reckoned he would find a use for, but never did, or the waste that had been generated by the overdue decorating that had finally been finished, the tip trip was almost a treat. We could see what other people were throwing out and often we could return with more than we were trying to get rid of following a bit of bartering between the tip manager and dad.
These days, the ritualistic trip to the local tip has become a genuine pain. There is far more regulation as to what recycling centres, as they have become known can accept. The distance one has to travel can be a nuisance, but at least Hitchin does still have a tip. The almost stone clad guarantee that you'll end up with a puncture from disguarded nails, screws or from some other shard from someone else's waste, and who knows what will happen if you go in a van? People who borrow or hire vans for the trip to the tip may be accused of being trade workers and asked for their waste permit. The simple fact is that many people don't want to load their nice clean cars with all manner of rubbish, for fear of doing some irreparable damage to the interior, so it's quite common for a van to be used for the job.
It should also be mentioned that our time is an ever more valuable commodity these days, and we often have better things to do rather than setting aside the time and effort required for a dump run.
Going backwards and forwards from house or garden to your vehicle with waste materials can be exhausting. It can sometimes be a major effort too, as the items of waste may be too big or heavy to even fit in the vehicle, meaning you'll have to break or cut them down to size if you can. Old garden fencing is a common culprit here. What this often results in is the trip gets abandoned; the old fencing is stacked up at the side of the garden or behind the shed, creating a perfect habitat for rodents to set up residence. This is the last thing you want, as they will undoubtedly manage to find their way into the house eventually. As any pest control professional will tell you, prevention is better than cure when it comes to an infestation of pesky rodents.
So, eliminate all these and more problems by hiring a skip to be delivered to your Hitchin property at a time and date that suits you.

Skip hire from a professional company like us can actually help to protect the environment. This is because all skip hiring companies in the United Kingdom have a legal duty to manage the waste they collect in a safe and responsible manner. The skip hiring companies know how to manage and dispose the waste in a green and ecologically safe manner. This can not only help the environment with regards to global warming, but it can also help to keep our countryside, animals and wildlife much safer for future generations to enjoy.
At Skip Hire Hitchin, we have a variety of skips available in all kinds of shapes and sizes. This makes hiring a skip for your specific job easier than ever before. If you just want to dispose of a broken washing machine, are planning on building a lean to in your back garden or any other small project for that matter, then a mini skip fits your needs perfectly. However, if you expect the amount of waste to be considerably more, then you might be more interested in the forty-yard roll-on roll-off skip. So, apart from the two skips mentioned here, below are the other skips we frequently are asked to deliver to our clients properties.
A Midi sized skip is the medium size skip perfect for medium sized jobs. There about 4 to 5 yards in length and can fit perfectly in your front driveway. These tend to be the most commonly hired skips in Hitchin.
Builder's skips are larger than the midi skips coming in at about 6 to 8 yards. This is the preferred skip size for those carrying out home improvement projects.
The Maxi skip is large in size but still has the shape of a regular skip. It's available in sizes starting at 10 yards, and up to 18 yards in capacity. This size is commonly used for commercial sites and large residential projects.
Therefore, skip hire in Hitchin is the smart way to go. For the sake of the modest cost, you'll be saving yourself time, effort and potential injury when you want to have a thoroughly good rubbish purge at your property. Call us today to discuss your requirements and get free, no obligation quote.

A hired skip offers you the perfect solution for your home waste management. They are large and can easily accommodate all the unwanted rubbish that has been accumulating in your home over the past few years. Using a hired skip also means that your rubbish and waste is collected from your property, so you won't need to be driving to the local tip and waiting for ages in a long line of traffic. When you get to the local tip, you always feel as if you have to rush back and forth to get rid of your waste so you don't hold up others who are impatiently waiting for their turn. This amount of haste is often why there is such a lot of dropped debris such as broken glass, nail and screws. These waste items often end up sticking into your tyres, leaving very expensive repair bills for you to pay.

There has been a lot of talk recently about the future of our waste since China announced that it was banning the import of twenty four types of waste from the rest of the world. The United Kingdom heavily relied on China to take a good deall of its waste and will now need to make alternative arrangements or work on new technologies to cope with the amount of waste we produce annually, not just in the Hitchin area but across the rest of the country.
For so many years, China was the worlds biggest importer of waste products, particularly plastics. The United Kingdom amongst others really did take this for granted and have now been faced with a race against time to work out what to do with all the waste that is building up in the recycling centres around Hitchin.
The European Union has been looking into a tax on plastics usage, whereas the United Kingdom wwas thinking of diverting some of its waste products to Southeast Asia, and the United States of America has simply asked China to lift its ban.
When you consider that China took in more than half of the worlds waste materials before the ban and was importing almost nine million metric tons of plastic scrap a year, it is hardly surprising that they have been forced to act now.
The move China made to ban twenty four types of imported waste was hailed by environmentalists globally as a major victory for green campaigners. Green campaigners say the ban would not only clean up China, but also force other countries to better manage their own waste. They added that for far too long there has been an out of sight, out of mind attitude towards waste and how we deal with it.
The joy at the Chinese ban was short lived by some as a government environmental scientist in the United Kingdom recently suggested that all plastic waste should be buried in landfill sites ready to be mined out at a later date. A recent meeting of an environmental group in Hitchin said that this was a short sighted view and technologies had to be developed to take care of existing plastic waste and other methods of cutting down on the waste we produce needed addressing as a matter of urgency.
At Hitchin Skip Hire, we are committed to disposing your waste in an environmentally-friendly way. At least 95% of waste is recycled. At our recycling centre in Stevenage, we segregate all waste before processing all products.
