Bear in mind the following rules and regulations surrounding the use of a skip:
While there are a vast number of items and materials that you can safely place in these containers for rubbish removal, some things are prohibited. Items that you cannot dispose of through skip hire include:
These materials can be harmful to the environment and must be treated differently from other rubbish clearance items. They are also a risk to public health, and putting them in a container results in fines, legal charges and potential hazards.
These containers are a great option for domestic and commercial waste removals, but you must consider where they will go. If customers intend to place containers on public land, they will need to obtain a permit from the local council. This should be in place before the waste removal equipment arrives onsite for rubbish removals. Some councils allow skip hire companies, such as G&S Waste Management Ltd, to apply for permits on your behalf if you prefer.
There are also guidelines for the placement of waste removal containers. These include making sure no driveways or utility access points are blocked. You may also need to apply for a parking suspension, depending on where the container will be placed.
As specialists in waste management and rubbish clearances, we make sure that we meet all safety regulations when providing skip hire and waste removal services in Hornchurch. This offers our customers complete security and peace of mind.
Safety measures include reflective markings, traffic cones and our company number in case of emergencies.
Care should always be taken to ensure hazardous materials don’t make their way into skips because this will pose health and safety risks. It is also important to make sure you are not overloading the containers. One way to do this is to hire the most suitable size for your rubbish removal needs, which we can advise on.
