Mini Skips For Hire

We ran out of mini skips for hire last week – everyone who was carrying out work on their properties had booked them all out for the bank holiday weekend. Mini skips, despite their name, can hold a considerable amount of rubbish – between 2 tonnes of muck and around one tonne of mixed waste. They’re really handy for domestic jobs where small scale jobs are concerned.

Mini Skip – The Baby of the Skip Hire World!

A mini skip is small. It’s about 4 feet long and 3 foot wide and 2.5 feet high.

However, they’re extremely useful. They are key to domestic jobs and for finishing large scale jobs. They hold up to 2 tonnes of soil and are great for household clean outs. They’re called mini skips but they do hold a surprising amount of waste.

Skip Hire in Manchester

Someone needed skip hire in Manchester yesterday but made a grave error – they told us that the skip was going on private land. We arrived there this morning, there was no private land. This means one thing and one thing only – problems with the council. All councils across the UK demand that if a skip goes on a road – it needs a skip permit. So unfortunately we had to charge the customer extra – we had to pass the charge on to the customer.

A Quick Guide to the Mini Skip

Mini skip hire is mostly popular with domestic properties – they are small, so great for quick spring cleans. They hold up to 30 full bin bags, and are 4 ft long, 3 ft wide and 2 ft deep. We deliver them all over the UK, but for not in London. This is due to lack of demand – nobody in London ever ordered them, so we stopped doing them in that area. The smallest skip size you can get in The Big Smoke is the 4 yard midi skip.

Call the TopSkips team for more information on 0844 560 7710.

Skip Hire Diving Saves Company Thousands

Staff at yummy cosmetics firm Burts Bees have decided to go skip diving with all their waste that was destined for landfill. Skip hire forms a massive part of the company’s refuse, so scrutinising what actually went to landfill made the company rethink their waste management programme. They managed to recycle 50% of what was going to landfill, saving the company $25,000 annually!

Council Hire a Skip To Fill With Bras!

Hire a skip for Breast Cancer.

When Hertsmere council delivered a load of pinks skips to their community, they demanded the public fill it with one thing and one thing only: Bras.

In the end they collected a massive 17,193 bras that weighed over a tonne. Why the bra fetish? Well, the plan is to ship them over to under developed countries and give them out to the women who need them.They are also raising money for breast cancer.

Councillor Jean Heywood said, ”By recycling your bras not only will less waste be sent to landfill but women in poorer countries will benefit and you will be helping to fund research into breast cancer.”

Good on you guys. We may look a bit weird throwing a bagful of bras in to a skip, but if it’s for such a great cause, then we’ll have a rummage around our underwear drawers tonight!
