Collect My Skip

General Transportation

At ABSS Skip Hire, we provide waste management services for a wide array of clients, many of whom have a large amount of waste to remove. However, to ensure safe transportation of the skip upon collection, you must ensure that our waste load does not surpass the top of the skip to avoid accidents.

Hirer Responsibilities

  • Do not Move the Skip
  • Do not Overload the Skip
  • Do not Let Waste Exceed the Height of the Skip
  • Do not Interfere with the Mechanism of the Equipment
  • Do not Add or Attach any Signage or Advertising to the Skip
  • Do not Leave any Hazardous Waste in the Skip, Including but not Limited to;
  • Fridge Freezers
  • Gas Bottles
  • Tyres
  • Paint
  • Batteries
  • Fluorescent Tubes
  • Televisions
  • Mattresses
Note that you are legally responsible for the contents of the skip you hire. You need to ensure that the waste disposed of in the hired skip is suitable for general disposal and that the skip is not overloaded. If you are sharing a skip with a neighbour, you will also need to ensure that their waste is suitable before collection. Please make sure you also read our terms and conditions before booking a skip to avoid misunderstanding!

Overloaded Skips

An overfilled skip is a hazard. The skip hire lorry may struggle to lift the skip, and your overfilled waste can be dangerous to other people as the skip is being transported. The contents of a skip should not exceed the height of the skip’s walls. If your skip is overloaded, the skip lorry driver reserves the right to either remove the excess waste from the skip if possible or refuse to remove the skip altogether whenever neccessary. The latter will incur an additional wasted journey charge.
