The North Wests best choice for skip hire

For the most part, you can throw any waste that you no longer need in a skip – as long as it’s non-hazardous.

Our skip hire team in Widnes accept any of the following:

• Construction waste including bricks, rubble and wood
• Broken / unwanted furniture
• Plastics that can be recycled
• Cardboard packaging
• Garden waste such as tree branches, soil and shrubs
• Metal items

If you need to dispose of any of the above – no matter how big or small – get in touch with GSH Skips and book your skip.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to get rid of something that’s not listed, you’re welcome to contact our specialists and we’ll happily advise you on whether or not you can dispose of it in one of our skips.

Whether you’re looking for skip hire in Liverpool, Widnes, or St Helens, there’s a skip size to suit everyone here at GSH Skips.

The smallest skips available are our domestic skips – perfect for home and garden projects where you only have a small amount of waste to dispose of, but too much to squeeze into your wheelie bin.

We offer a 4 tonne mini skip, 8 tonne maxi skip and 12 and 14 tonne open skips.

Looking for something a little bigger to remove heavy materials in bulk? No problem – we also provide commercial skips which are great for businesses that generate a substantial amount of waste. These include open skips and low-sided roll-on roll-off containers.

If you know which skip size you need, be sure to get in touch with our team and we’ll get the ball rolling straight away.

If you’re unsure and want an expert opinion to ensure you hire the right one, give us a call on 0151 424 4079 to discuss your requirements in more detail.

The price you’ll pay to hire a skip is dependent on several factors.

As with most things, the smaller skips cost less than the larger skips – due to the amount of waste they can hold.

A large skip will cost you more upfront but, if your project will generate enough waste to fill it, hiring one of these will work out cheaper than hiring multiple small skips.

Hiring a skip is a brilliant way to get rid of waste without making a trip to the tip – but certain items must be kept out of your skip. These are mostly hazardous items, such as electricals, batteries, solvents, medical waste and tyres, to name just a few.

Upon collection, if any prohibited items are found in your skip, you may be charged – which will increase your skip hire costs.

Generally, the longer you need the skip to be kept on your premises (or the public highway), the more you’ll pay. Depending on where it is placed, this may also result in increased skip permit costs, as most councils only provide permits that are valid for 14-30 days.

Another thing worth noting is that prices can vary depending on your location.

For example, you may pay more for skip hire in Liverpool city centre than you would for skip hire in St Helens or Widnes. That’s why it’s a good idea to request a quote from a few local skip hire companies and to make comparisons between their services.

Hiring a skip allows you to dispose of large volumes of waste in one go – keeping your premises clean and safe at all times. The larger the skip, the more waste you can remove.

When you opt for skip hire with GSH Skips, you can rely on us to provide a suitable skip size for your disposal needs using our modern trucks.

We pride ourselves on offering a flexible solution for customers across Merseyside and will happily deliver the skip to a location of your choice.

If you don’t have the space to leave a skip on your private property, this is no issue for our skip hire team in Widnes. We can apply to the local council for a permit on your behalf – allowing you to place your skip on the road – and add the fee to your skip hire cost.

Another great thing about hiring one of our skips is that we make sure all of your waste is disposed of safely and efficiently.

When we collect your full skip, we’ll transport it to the nearest sorting facility and identify what can be recycled, reused or composted. And anything that doesn’t fall into any of these categories will be destroyed responsibly.

Skip hire permits aren’t always necessary.

If you’re planning on leaving your hired container in your garden or driveway, you won’t need a permit.

However, not everyone has the luxury of so much space, and you might find you need to leave your skip on the road or pavement (aka public highways) outside your property.

In this case, you’ll need permission from your local council before you leave your skip on public highways, seeing as it’s their property.

Here at GSH Skips, we’ll arrange the permit on your behalf, so all you need to do is focus on getting rid of your unwanted waste.

For more information about skip hire permits and whether you need one, call us on 0151 424 4079 – we’re more than happy to answer any of your questions!

When you hire a skip with GSH, you can throw pretty much anything into your container – so long as it’s not hazardous.

We won’t be able to accept any of the following items:

• Asbestos
• Car tyres
• Electronics (TVs, computer monitors, etc)
• Mattresses
• Fridges, freezers and other appliances
• Paint tins
• Plasterboard and gypsum waste

These items require specialist disposal, which is why they need to be kept away from domestic containers.

If you need to dispose of something that’s listed, or you’re not sure about certain materials, be sure to get in touch with us here at GSH Skips.

We’re always eager to help and provide expert advice!
