Traditionally, skip hire has been the go-to option for people who need to dispose of a large amount of waste. Skips are often seen as convenient because they can be left on-site for an extended period and can be filled up at the customer's convenience. However, while skips may be commonplace, they are not always the best option. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Access problems Skips need to be stored on the road, which can be problematic if there is limited space or difficult access. This can lead to disruption and even fines from the council.

2. Cost While hiring a skip may seem like a cost-effective option, when you factor in the additional costs of permits, parking, and the time taken to fill it up, it can quickly become expensive.

3. Efficiency Skips can take up valuable space and, if they are not filled correctly, they can leave unused areas, making the cost even greater.

4. Limited Waste Types Skips have limitations in regards to what waste they can take. This can often mean additional costs to dispose of the waste that isn't permitted in the skip, such as hazardous materials.

5. Environmental Impact Many skip companies do not have a clear recycling policy, meaning much of the waste is sent straight to landfill.

Grab hire, on the other hand, works differently. Our grab hire service is designed to be both efficient and cost-effective, providing a solution to all the traditional problems associated with skip hire. Our grab lorries can access even the most challenging of locations, and our service is charged on the amount of waste that is collected, meaning you only pay for what you need.
