Here is what happens when you book with Skips Manchester anywhere in Greater Manchester, from the initial enquiry through to collection and paperwork.
- Licensed skip hire across Manchester
- Waste paperwork provided with every job
- Free, no-obligation quotes
Arranging a waste collection or a skip in Manchester ought to be simple. With Skips Manchester you have a single contact for construction services, recycling, waste collections and skip hire, and our licensed team carries out each job.
The process is much the same whether you are managing a site in the city centre, refurbishing a house in Altrincham or emptying a terraced house in Levenshulme. Each step is explained below, starting with your quote and ending with the paperwork you receive after the waste has been taken away.
Jobs generally run more smoothly when we have plenty of detail up front – the mix of materials, parking and access. Want to get going? Complete the quote form or ring 0333 121 1056.
Step 1 – Book online or make an enquiry
Use the online quote form – WastePrime powers our online booking – or ring 0333 121 1056 and tell us what you are after. We need to know when you want the service, approximately how much waste there is, what kind it is and your postcode. Not sure? Our waste types guide may help.
Flag anything that could affect delivery: restricted delivery hours on site, a controlled parking zone, a shared back alley or a narrow street, for example. With that information we can quote accurately and arrange the right service for you.
Step 2 – Agree size, position and permits
We help you settle on the right service or skip size and check where it will stand. No permit is required for a skip on private land or your own drive. On a public road, a skip permit from the council is required – Manchester City Council within the city, or the relevant borough council elsewhere in Greater Manchester – and the skip provider usually applies for it. Allow a few working days. See skip permits for more.
We will also confirm what must be kept out, for instance upholstered seating, tyres or plasterboard.
Step 3 – We deliver
Our licensed crew turns up on the agreed day, either to collect your waste or to drop off your bins, container or skip. Where available locally, next-day or same-day service may be an option. Keep the placement area and the route to it clear, so the driver can set the skip down safely.
Laying boards is worth considering to protect the paving when a skip goes on a drive. Skips on the road are positioned by our crew in accordance with the permit conditions, which cover lights and reflective markings. After delivery, do not overload it, and keep the contents below the fill line.
Step 4 – Collection, disposal and documentation
Once you have finished, get in touch and we will organise an exchange or a collection. Your waste goes to a licensed facility, where the load is sorted so that as much as possible is recycled. The right paperwork is then issued to you – a consignment note for hazardous waste, or a waste transfer note for ordinary waste – as evidence that your waste was dealt with properly.
How It Works – your questions answered
Can’t see your question? Call 0333 121 1056 or send us a message.
How soon can a skip be delivered?
Delivery within a few days is often possible, and next-day or same-day may be available depending on capacity. Where a road permit is required, leave extra time for the approval.
How long can a skip stay with me?
The hire period depends on the service and your area. When you book, say how long you expect to need it, and tell us if you want to extend. For a skip on the road, the permit’s duration applies too.
Must I be at home when the skip is delivered?
Generally not, provided the placement area is clearly described and free of obstructions. For a skip going on the road or in a shared back alley, being around helps in case the driver has any questions.
Is online booking available?
It is – WastePrime powers our online booking. If you would rather talk things through, ring 0333 121 1056 instead.
Skip hire and waste management reviews
All reviews →“Sam was great! Very helpful answered all of my questions about size of skip I would need and managed to get the skip delivered quickly for me. I would highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Responsive company and easy to deal with. Cheerful people who did the collection. Would reccommend!”
“I required disposal of some small hazardous items. I call around and enlisted the services of a two advertised waste removal business. It was a waste of time as neither could provide the required service. I can tell you what was not a wate of time; going to Waste Cloud. They were attentive and professional. They assessed the situation and the request and acted quickly, scheduling a pick up at site. Waste Cloud adheres to all Waste Regulations and produced the appropriate Waste Transfer Note for our records. They are now on the company books as a preferred supplier. If you want the job done to a high standard when others have or will fail; call on Waste Cloud to simply get the job done!”
