Can You Hire A Skip For A Day?

At Evergreen skip hire we understand everyone’s skip hire needs are different and can depend on the size and length of the project you have planned. We often get asked if you can hire a skip for the day, although it is not practical to do so, you can hire a skip for a day if you require. Again depending on the job, you have planned sometimes hiring a skip is not always the best option for same day waste removal and often won’t be as cost effective to use this option.

When carrying out domestic or smaller jobs it is wise to hire a skip for waste that you’ll need to clear out of the way and to be able to add to it as you go along. For example, if you are carrying out a job at home like stripping out your kitchen to renovate, it’ll take at least a few days of DIY to fill a skip with things like old fixtures, piping, flooring and all the offcuts of new materials. Most DIY jobs are not usually a one-day job and can take several days to complete.

If you are looking to hire a skip for a job at a bigger scale like you’re running a commercial building or refit on a large premises, then single day skip hire might make sense in some situations as you may have more help at your disposal. The general rule is that you hire a skip for at minimum a few day at a time or at least a week regardless of the job you have planned. It is always best to cover yourself in case a small DIY job turns into a bigger job than planned.
