Skip hire vs Hippo bag
Managing waste is an important part of any home and garden renovation or commercial project. If you have a large amount of rubbish to dispose of, chances are you’ve considered hiring a skip or using a Hippo bag.
But which is better? This guide will explain why choosing the right waste disposal is important and describe the crucial differences between skip hire and Hippo bags.
Why can’t you put plasterboard in a skip?
Plasterboard or gypsum, a common building material used for interior walls and ceilings, is a popular waste product from home renovations and commercial refurbishments.
However, plasterboard disposal can present a problem, and most skip hire companies will refuse to take the item due to its hazardous properties. If your general skip waste contains plasterboard, this could cause serious safety concerns.
Skip hire vs man with van
Using a man with a van for rubbish removal is a popular method. Some people use a man with a van to take rubbish away instead of hiring a skip. However, this isn’t always the easiest or more cost-efficient option.
When to use an enclosed skip
While hiring a skip is a helpful addition for your house clearance or building project, some safety and security measures should be considered.
Open skips are more susceptible to misuse or theft, especially if the skip bin is on an easily accessible driveway or near a busy street. People may use your skip to dispose of their own rubbish, which can sometimes be hazardous, or steal potentially dangerous items only suitable for landfill.
Luckily, there are ways to prevent these scenarios. Lockable skips are a popular option for those who require added security during their project. Find out more about enclosed skip hire with our handy guide.
