The majority of waste produced in Britain is commercial waste. Due to the volumes produced, it is very common to utilise skips to handle this waste.
When hiring a skip for a commercial business, unless it is for a one-off project, you will need to have arranged with the council if you want a skip located close by. With this type of contract skip hire, a replacement skip is dropped off each time the full one is collected.
When having any type of skip for any duration, careful consideration must be given to locating the skip. Whilst location is always an issue to consider carefully, both you and your neighbours will be far more receptive to a little inconvenience for a short period than for the long term. With this in mind, a long-term skip site needs very careful consideration.
Around the London area in particular, space for skips is not so readily available. When hiring on a short term basis, you will be able to site most sized skips on public roads for a couple of weeks, although this will almost certainly require a permit. Long term location of skips on the public highway is unlikely, so for your long term contract you will need to definitely make your own provision for space.
A big part of any successful skip hire arrangement is getting the right size skip for both your needs and space available. At Simpsons Skip Hire, we offer a broad range of skips and will be able to offer advice on both the placement and arranging licenses for skip hire in the London area.
