On the whole, domestic skip hire is cheaper than commercial skip hire, simply due to the nature of the work, the size of the skips usually required and the shorter length of time they must be hired for. Many hire companies offer both types of hire and what follows is a basic breakdown of what is entailed with each. Whether you choose a skip broker or dedicated hire company, you must have a clear idea of the type you require before making arrangements. If you are doing minor building or renovation work, clearing out your house or garden, then the small amount of domestic or garden waste can usually be managed and disposed of by hiring a mini one. A mini skip is sturdy enough to hold low volumes of high density waste such as building debris, old kitchen units, turf, tree trimmings or cleared soil. Naturally, these types of domestic jobs take a shorter amount of time and this combined with the smaller size of skip required keeps the cost of domestic skip hire to a minimum. Always be sure to check whether you require a skip permit from your local council for placing it on a public path. These usually expire after a fortnight so plan your hire period to coincide with your permit coverage. Being without a permit can result in a fine which will obviously make the cost of your domestic hire significantly more expensive! Check your local council website for their guidelines to be sure. If you are a company or business requiring commercial skip hire you will need to approach a commercial hire company and will often need to arrange a contract detailing the exact type of skip hire you require. Large scale operations will require a large number and a rota of skip removal and replenishment ironed out to keep the construction or demolition project running smoothly and with the site safe and clear. The type of waste generated by your business's project will depend on the type required. Often, a mix of 8 yarders, which are the largest ones suitable for high density waste materials, and anything up to 16 yarders, which are suitable for high volumes of low density waste materials, is required to manage the full range of waste needing to be disposed. Naturally, the length of time, which is usually much longer than domestic jobs, makes commercial hire more expensive. It is important for businesses to check with their local council to make sure they are in possession of all necessary permits and keep within all regulations. Permits will have to be renewed if your business's project overruns, so a close eye should be kept on the project's time schedule. Domestic skip hire is cheaper than commercial skip hire due to the ones required and the length of the hire period. A broker or hire company can advise you further if you may need to know more on this matter.
