How to Maximise the Amount of Waste in Your Skip

How to Maximise the Amount of Waste in Your Skip – If you’re planning to order a skip for a home clearout, premises renovation or any other purpose besides, you’ll probably want to fit as much waste in your skip as you can – particularly if your project is a large one.

To explain how to safely get as much waste as possible into a single container during skip hire, Bolton Skip Hire’s waste disposal experts have put together this handy article.

Our team manages skip hire Chorley, Wigan and plenty of other locations across the North West of England. Read on to discover our recommended way to load a skip.

Select the Right Size

First, make an educated decision about the size of skip you’ll need. It can be hard to predict exactly how much waste a project will produce, so you should feel free to contact your skip provider and ask for their opinion if you feel stuck.

Our team are happy to offer assistance and guidance to customers arranging skip hire Bolton, Preston, Leyland or anywhere else across Lancashire and Greater Manchester.

Otherwise, we recommend hiring the largest skip that you can fit safely on your designated area of land. After all, it’s much more expensive to hire a small skip multiple times than it is to use a large skip once.

Place Items in a Sensible Order

If you are strategic about the placement of your waste items, you can fit more inside a skip. We recommend starting with flat items, then very small ones or any aggregates like gravel. Finally, pack in your larger items tightly.

It’s best to try and break down or crush waste articles if possible, as this will give you more room.

Fill the Skip Evenly

If you start by piling everything up at one side, you may find that certain areas become hard to reach and fill as you go along. This means it will be difficult to fill those areas to their total capacity.

Order More Skips

No matter where you require skip hire Horwich, Preston or further afield – the containers you hire will have specific fill lines that your waste should not surpass.

Overfilling a skip (that is, loading it beyond its fill line) can become dangerous – and workmen coming to collect the container may refuse to do so if it is overfull, as this will pose a risk to them and others around them.

If you have too much waste for your skip, your best option is to get it safely filled and removed, then hire a new one.

By filling your skip carefully and intelligently as you go along, you might just save yourself a lot of time, stress and even money.
