<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the recent burst of gorgeously warm sunny weather, you may well have been amongst the thousands of homeowners across the UK busying themselves out in the garden, chopping, pruning, or cutting any trees or plants which are no longer quite up to the mark. If so, that probably means you\u2019ve already built yourself quite the complement of garden waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how much you\u2019re dealing with, there are various options that you might be considering for getting rid of it \u2013 but for any sizeable amount, you\u2019ll want a garden waste skip. Trust us \u2013 it saves you time, effort, and gives you peace of mind that everything in it will be recycled properly, with minimum impact on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at Skip Hire Network, that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re dedicated to providing. When you hire a garden waste skip from us, you\u2019ll have plenty of sizes to choose from, and we\u2019re dedicated to making the entire process as easy and simple as possible. Plus, there are a couple more further benefits too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green skip hire is the best environmentally friendly option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Efficiently disposing of our waste while minimising environmental impact is a constant struggle for many of us at the moment. Happily, it\u2019s a relatively easy job when it comes to garden waste, provided you\u2019ve carefully chosen a green skip hire firm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are lots of people who prefer to simply burn their garden waste, but it\u2019s far from the most desirable option. Many local authorities in the UK simply won\u2019t allow it, and even the ones who do set strict guidelines. There are hefty fines (up to \u00a35000!) if you get it wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you can\u2019t burn domestic waste if it will cause pollution, or harm people\u2019s health (certain types of garden waste can sometimes fall into this category). You can also be fined for lighting a fire if smoke reaches the road, and puts traffic at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there\u2019s the biggest problem with garden fires \u2013 lots of waste simply won\u2019t burn. Grass, soil, rubble and green foliage will all refuse to burn properly, and will often emit thick smoke instead. What\u2019s more, there are strict laws against using accelerants to try and make them burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you take all that into account, using a backyard fire to get rid of your garden waste ends up involving a lot more effort and risk than it might seem at first. It\u2019s one of the many reasons why it\u2019s far safer and more environmentally friendly to use us, instead. With our in-house experience and expertise, we\u2019re able to use our green skip hire service to recycle up to 100% of your garden waste, in line with environmental legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A green waste skip is the easiest way to dispose of large volumes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the job at hand, you may find that you might not always need to hire a skip, and that your green bin will do instead. However, most councils only collect garden and green waste once every two weeks, which means that if you\u2019re relying solely on your green bin, clearing large amounts of waste might end up taking you quite a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So while you can use your green bin for smaller amounts, if you\u2019re going to try and dispose of larger volumes, it\u2019s much easier to choose garden waste skip hire instead. It\u2019s a much faster and more efficient alternative, allowing you to clear your garden waste in one go and get on with the job at hand \u2013 whether that\u2019s tidying up your garden, doing a bit of landscaping, or making way for a conservatory, orangery, pond or summerhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much to hire a skip for garden waste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cost of garden waste skip hire will be strongly influenced by exactly how much waste you\u2019ve got to move. Chances are, though, you\u2019ll need something between a 4 yard skip to an 8 yard skip, which means you\u2019ll be paying between \u00a370 to \u00a3150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price of skip hire depends on a lot of factors, but it\u2019s also affected by exactly where you live in the country. While there\u2019s not much you can do about that aspect in particular, you\u2019ll be pleased to know that there are a couple of things you can do to take the edge off the price of your skip hire:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
