From applying for a permit to loading the skip safely and making sure you choose the right size in the first place, it can seem a little overwhelming if you\u2019re new to it all.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where we come in! We\u2019re here to help you avoid making the common mistakes we sometimes see new customers making; take a look at the advice outlined below and your first skip hire experience should be a hassle-free one!<\/p>\n<h3>CHOOSING THE WRONG SKIP SIZE<\/h3>\n<p>First off, you have to make sure you\u2019re choosing the right size skip for your requirements. There\u2019s no need to hire a skip that\u2019s bigger than you need &#8211; you\u2019ll just be wasting money.<\/p>\n<p>Equally, hire one too small and you might find yourself frustrated as the end of your project or clearout nears and you begin to run out of space.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure what size you need, you can always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elyskiphire.co.uk\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a>.

Larger skips are only suitable for lighter waste, for instance; you can\u2019t fill a large skip with hardcore and soil, or it\u2019ll be overweight and our trucks won\u2019t be able to load or transport it safely.<\/p>\n<p>There are also a number of different items that simply shouldn\u2019t be put in a skip, full stop.<\/p>\n<p>These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oil and paint<\/li>\n<li>Batteries and electronics<\/li>\n<li>Solvents<\/li>\n<li>Petrol and diesel<\/li>\n<li>Gas cylinders and bottles<\/li>\n<li>Asbestos<\/li>\n<li>Clinical or medical waste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>SKIP HIRE IN CAMBRIDGE<\/h3>\n<p>Now you\u2019re a little more clued-up on common mistakes, why not explore our different skip sizes?
