[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Welcome to the ClickaSkip Guide to Weekend Skip Hire! We are going to explore the ins and outs of hiring a skip either at the weekend or just for the weekend.
This guide is comprised of frequently asked questions. We have done our best to answer them for ClickaSkip specifically. The answers may vary from one skip hire company to another. If your question is not answered, please get in touch.
Can I Hire a Skip for the Weekend?
Yes, of course! Here at ClickaSkip, we are able to offer same day deliveries of skips to suit your convenience. If you want your skip hire for a long weekend, we can drop it off on a Thursday and pick it up on a Sunday. Maybe you only want the skip for one night, so we can leave it with you on Saturday and come back to collect it on Sunday.
The important thing in this situation is to make your booking as early as possible so that the company you hire with (hopefully ClickaSkip) can make sure that operatives, vehicles, and skips are available on the day. The shorter the notice, the harder it will be to accommodate your needs.
How Do I Book My Weekend Skip?
There are two ways to book your skip through ClickaSkip. We have made a really simple-to-use online booking form at www.clickaskip.co.uk. The online booking process is done in three steps.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][ultimate_icon_list][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-angle-right” icon_color=”#b51f64″]Step one: Put your postcode in and choose whether your skip will be placed on private land or a road.[/ultimate_icon_list_item][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-angle-right” icon_color=”#b51f64″]Step two: Next, choose the size and type of skip you need (we have five options that will be explained in the next question).[/ultimate_icon_list_item][/ultimate_icon_list][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][ultimate_icon_list][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-angle-right” icon_color=”#b51f64″]Step three: There may be some available extras to choose from.

Which Skips Can I Hire Over the Weekend?
We have five different types of skips available for weekend hire:[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][ultimate_icon_list][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-angle-right” icon_color=”#b51f64″]4-yard skips – Cost £168 and the dimensions are L:2.57m H1.09m W:1.77m[/ultimate_icon_list_item][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-angle-right” icon_color=”#b51f64″]6-yard skips – Cost £198 and the dimensions are L:3.1m H:1.24m W1.77m[/ultimate_icon_list_item][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-angle-right” icon_color=”#b51f64″]8-yard skips – Cost £216 and the dimensions are L:3.55m H:1.3m W:1.79m[/ultimate_icon_list_item][/ultimate_icon_list][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][ultimate_icon_list][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-angle-right” icon_color=”#b51f64″]8-yard skips (enclosed) – Cost £216 and the dimensions are L:3.2m H:1.55m W:1.79m[/ultimate_icon_list_item][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-angle-right” icon_color=”#b51f64″]12-yard skips – Cost £288 and the dimensions are L:4.14m H:1.68m W: 1.8m[/ultimate_icon_list_item][/ultimate_icon_list][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]As your skip hire will be done over a shorter period of time, you might want a smaller skip. Check out this comprehensive guide to 4-yard skips. Alternatively, you can use this skip size guide to help assess what size skip you need.
Where Can I Keep My Weekend Skip?
You have two options, you can put your skip on private land, typically a yard, front garden, or a driveway, or, you can put it on the road in front of your property. For the latter option, you will need a permit from the council, but don’t worry, we can take care of that on your behalf.
If I Need the Skip Longer, Can I?
Sure! Generally, people hire skips for around 14 days, so if you need to keep it longer than the weekend, you’re entitled to do so. Please let us know at your earliest convenience, in order to avoid any complications.
Can I Get a Discount by Having the Skip For a Shorter Period of Time?
Our account managers may have certain offers or deals available to you that cannot be found online. Call 0333 733 7547 and speak to them today to find out if they can help you.
I Need the Skip Gone on Sunday Evening, Can You Manage It?
We will need to know in advance if you require a Sunday collection, ideally at the time of booking. Calling on a Sunday to request a same day collection may not always be possible.
Is it Easy to Find Weekend Hire Skips?
Actually, it’s quite difficult to find skips for the weekend as most waste management companies traditionally close. The national companies typically do not operate at the weekends, and so it is the job of small to medium enterprises to fill this need. Fortunately, ClickaSkip is able to meet your weekend skip hire needs.
When Should I Call to Book My Skip?
As soon as humanly possible so that we can make the drop off and collection as smooth as we can.
What Can I Put in My Weekend Skip?
