Bring the local tip to you with skip hire in Potters Bar

Skip hire is the perfect way to bring your local tip right to your own property!

With skip hire in Potters Bar you will wave goodbye to hours of hard graft loading and unloading your car with waste materials and spending valuable time and fuel on successive trips to the nearest tip. How much easier would it be to have the final destination for your waste sitting right outside on your own driveway?

Protect your car with skip hire in Potters Bar

Not only is skip hire in Potters Bar a far more convenient method of home waste management, it can save you money too. By this, we don't just refer to the fuel saving from trips to the tip, we refer to the very real possibility of the cost of repairing or cleaning out your car after it's been filled with rubbish.

A lot of what we throw away, particularly waste from the garden can be dirty, rotten, smelly or sharp. This can easily damage the interior of your vehicle, and as the car is the second most expensive thing most people own, it pays to look after it.

Torn upholstery, roof and door lining, or stained carpet can be a genuine nightmare. Even a professional valet can cost you a small fortune and still not completely clean any persistent stains from the interior of your car.

Skip hire in Potters Bar avoids punctures too

If that wasn't bad enough, the chances of getting a puncture from the local tip have always been pretty high. It goes without saying that as the person in front of you in the queue at the tip empties out their waste; they are likely to drop screws, nails or sharp thorns from whatever it is they are disposing of. This will easily find its way into your car tyres when you pull forward for your turn to unload your rubbish. Anyone who owns a car will know that the cost of puncture repairs is no small expense. Also, many newer vehicles do not even have a spare tyre to change in the event of a flat, but a liquid to put into the damaged tyre to temporarily seal the puncture until you can get it properly repaired. So, do away with this hassle by hiring a skip for all your waste materials and leave the car at home, safe and sound.

Skip hire in Potters Bar when it suits you

As the winter draws ever closer, the local tips have much shorter opening hours. This can have a serious impact on your opportunities to get to the tip when they are open.

Some people even find that they have to either take time off of work to take their rubbish to the tip, or rely on a man with a van service, which can come with its own problems.

Avoid trouble with skip hire in Potters Bar

Remember that householders have a legal duty of care to ensure they only give their waste to a licensed carrier. New financial penalties of up to £400 for householders who fail to properly exercise this responsibility, and whose waste is found fly-tipped, have moved a step closer as legislation is laid in Parliament.

Potential fly-tipping by rogue operators, and the risk of a penalty, can be simply avoided by using certified waste carriers, which can be checked easily by visiting the Environment Agency's website, where you can enter the business name or registration number to immediately confirm their status as an approved company.

The government has also issued guidance to ensure councils use these new powers proportionately and make clear fines should not be used as a means of raising revenue. To strike the right balance householders should not be fined for minor breaches and the guidance also stresses that consideration should be given if the individual is a vulnerable person due to age related ill-health or a mental or physical disability.

The new penalties will make it easier for councils to tackle fly-tipping and provide an alternative to putting cases through the courts which can be a lengthy and costly process.

In 2016-17 clearing up fly-tipping incidents cost councils in England £57.7 million, with around two thirds of all fly-tipped waste containing household waste.

So, ensure you don't become part of the problem by using rogue traders and use Skip Hire Potters Bar for your own peace of mind.

Some Potters Bar history

Potters Bar is located on the Great North Road, one of two road routes from the City of London to the north of England. The road was originally numbered as the A1, and later the A1000.

Potters Bar was historically part of the county of Middlesex and formed the Potters Bar Urban District of that county from 1934. From 1894 to 1934 its area had formed the South Mimms Rural District. In 1965 the district was transferred to Hertfordshire County Council while most of the rest of Middlesex County Council became part of Greater London.

All change for Potters Bar

In 1974 the urban district was abolished and the area became part of the borough of Hertsmere. Having been part of Middlesex, the area continued to form part of the Metropolitan Police District; with the creation of the Greater London Authority it was transferred to the Hertfordshire Constabulary in 2000. Up until this change, police officers based at nearby Hatfield recognised the traffic lights just before the police station at Potters Bar as the end of their area.

Over the other side of Potters Bar, the Hertfordshire Constabulary and the Metropolitan Police often wrangled over who was responsible for road traffic incidents that happened near to Warrengate lane, which ran off of Swanland Road. All this was owing to the confusion as to whether it was Potters Bar or Hatfield jurisdiction.

Tragically, similar confusion resulted in the body of a murdered women being missed in an area search in nearly Brookmans Park owing to the 'jurisdiction' dispute between the two police forces.

The Byng family of Potters Bar

Wrotham Park estate, home of the Byng family, sits within Potters Bar and Barnet on 2,500 acres of land. The Byng family still own a lot of land in the Potters Bar area and The Admiral Byng pub in Darkes Lane is named after Admiral John Byng, who was executed for failing to obey orders in the Minorca campaign.

A Zeppelin L31 downed over Potters Bar

In the early hours of 1 October 1916, Lieutenant Wulstan Tempest shot down Germany's most famous zeppelin, the L31. It was captained by Heinrich Mathy with his crew of eighteen. All were killed when the flaming zeppelin fell into an ancient oak tree on the Oakmere Estate, Oakmere House at the time being rented by Mrs Forbes. The deadly raids over England declined drastically after this. The nineteen German were buried in the local cemetery, and decades later reinterred at Cannock Chase German Military Cemetery. Many people believed that Zeppelin military personnel were from the air force, but Zeppelin belonged to the German Navy. The Potters Bar Museum has a Zeppelin display, with relics of the L31.
