If you have a pile of rubbish to clear, the first thought is often to hire a skip. It is worth pausing before you do, because for a lot of jobs a waste collection works out cheaper, faster and far less hassle.
What a skip actually costs you
A skip is not just the hire fee. If it sits on the road you may need a permit from the council. It takes up space on your drive for days. And you still have to do all the loading yourself, in your own time, often lifting heavy and awkward items.
Why a collection is usually easier
With Wasteway Services we bring the labour to you. We turn up, load everything by hand, sweep the area and take it away in one visit. There is no permit to arrange and nothing left sitting outside your home. You only pay for what we actually remove.
When a skip still makes sense
For a very large, ongoing project where you are filling a container over several weeks, a skip can still be the right call. For a one off clearance, a garden tidy up or an end of tenancy clear out, a collection is nearly always the better value option.
