Things To Consider:
Things to consider when hiring a skip for scrap metal:
- The quantity of scrap metal waste
- The skip size
- Is it worth separating your metals to maximise your return
- Possible contamination issues
- Is your site secure
Check the skip size you need before you make a booking, for instance, if you have long lengths of metal that can’t be cut, you may need to opt for a roll on off bin to give you the length you need. As always, if you are unsure, our team is always available to give the best advice and information.
Is it worth having different skips for different types of metal? Yes 100% if you do have large quantities of different metals, for instance, if you have light iron, copper or aluminum, it would be worth separating as the difference in price between light iron and copper is thousands of pounds per tonne.
If you hire a scrap metal skip, you will need to ensure that there is no contamination, for example, rubbish, wood, soil, hardcore etc. You may be charged for a waste skip if the skip is collected and contains items that are not metal. Some scrap metal companies are not licensed to accept other waste streams at their depot and the skip may be rejected with additional charges applied.
Is your site secure? Scrap metal theft is big business; if you have an unsecure site, it might be worth hiring an enclosed skip. Let us know and we will provide you with a secure enclosed skip.
