skip hire kent

The cost of skip hire varies and depends on several factors:

1. Size. The size of the skip hire influences its cost. Prices vary among different companies, and you can expect to pay a minimum of £60 for a 2 cubic yard skip, £80 for 4 cubic yard skip and not less than £100 for 6 to 8 cubic yard skips. The prices of a larger skip hire - above 12 cubic yards, are usually given upon application and start from £250.

2. How long you will be using the skip. Most skip hire companies have strict requirements regarding the renting period. Some will charge you extra for any extra time you are using the skip, other may give you a discount if you return the skip earlier.

3. The type of waste. Skips used for general waste tend to be cheaper than skips for hazardous waste. When you hire a skip you must let the company know what kind of litter you will be disposing and than you will get a quotation for the price.

4. Permits. Usually a permit is required when you will be placing a skip on the road outside of your property. The fees vary according location and local authority regulations.
