Hiring a skip is an excellent way to speed up your garden clearance, especially with the weather finally improving. It provides a central, convenient, and environmentally responsible way to deal with green waste, soil, old paving, and broken furniture.
Here is a quick guide to help you get started:
Why Hire a Skip for Garden Clearance?
Efficiency: Instead of multiple trips to the local tip (and filling your car with mud), you can dispose of everything in one go.
Safety: Piles of branches, soil, and broken slabs can be hazards in the garden. A skip keeps the space tidy.
Responsible Disposal: Reputable companies ensure green waste is recycled or turned into compost.
Capacity: A 4-yard skip holds roughly 40-50 bin bags of waste.
Choosing the Right Skip Size
Small Tidy Up (2-3 Yard Mini): Good for small gardens, regular pruning, or small amounts of soil.
Medium Job (4-6 Yard Midi): Ideal for moderate garden redesigns, hedge removals, or clearing overgrown areas.
Large Project (8 Yard Builder): Suitable for major landscaping, large tree removal, or replacing heavy old decking.
