Skips have to be used according to the rules
Skip hire is an activity that, like all waste management services is covered by a very broad spectrum of laws and administrative bodies. Skip hire rules will be enforced by both the environment agency in relation to the actual process of waste disposal and the local authorities with regard to the physical movement and locating of the skip. This latter aspect is particularly relevant when the skip is to be located on a public highway.
The extensive legislation can seem off-putting when looking into skip hire as a method of waste disposal. However, skip hire providers such as ourselves, Simpsons Skip Hire of London are extremely familiar with all of the aspects of these regulations and are able to ensure that in addition to offering you a trouble-free skip hire experience, we will also be adhering to current rules and regulations. Providing you the customer adhere to simple guidelines surrounding things such as hazardous waste and ensuring your skip is visible on the highway, you should have no need to concern yourself with the intricate web of rules in place.
Some of the legislation surrounding skip hire relates to aspects such as Controlled Waste (Registration of Carriers and Seizure of Vehicles) Regulations, Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations, Hazardous Waste Regulations and Environmental Permitting Regulations. These are all part of the Environment Protection regulations. The delivery of your skip by lorry introduces a spectrum of vehicle operator legislation and the skip itself requires specific markings when on a public highway. All of this is in addition to the broad spectrum of rules covered by Health and Safety legislation.
