Commercial Skip Hire in Ely
At What Skip, we know that businesses need a reliable, legal, and efficient way to manage large volumes of waste. That is why our commercial skip-hire service in Ely makes disposal simple and hassle free.
We will deliver your skip to your chosen location, whether at your business premises or in a convenient public space. If a roadside placement is necessary, we will handle the required permits from Cambridgeshire County Council. We are also committed to sustainability, ensuring as much of your waste as possible is recycled rather than sent to landfills.
Skip Hire Ely Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for skip placement in Ely?
Skips on private property like driveways don't need permits. For skips on public roads or pavements, Cambridgeshire County Council requires a permit. We sort the paperwork for you, which takes about 2-3 working days. The permit fee from the council is added to your hire cost.
What types of waste can and cannot go in my skip?
Most household items and building materials can go in our skips. You can't put in hazardous materials such as asbestos, chemicals, wet paint, batteries, gas bottles, tyres or electrical items. Plasterboard needs separate disposal due to council regulations. Give us a call if you're not sure about particular items - it saves problems when we collect.
How do I choose the right skip size for my Ely project?
For garden clearance in Ely's smaller properties, a 2-yard or 4-yard skip fits 25-55 black bin bags. Kitchen renovations typically need 6-yard or 8-yard skips, holding 65-85 bags. Building projects on the larger Victorian properties around Central Road may require 10-yard skips or bigger. Skips can't be loaded above the rim, so consider going up a size if you're uncertain.
How long can I keep a skip for and what happens if I need it longer?
The standard hire period is 14 days. Most Ely customers completing weekend DIY projects often need it for just 3-5 days. Let us know when you want it collected. If your project runs over time, ring us to extend the hire. Many of our commercial customers working on the new Ely Business Park development arrange longer hire periods from the start.
How does What Skip handle waste disposal in Ely?
We take skip waste to our sorting facility just outside Ely. Materials are separated for recycling - about 80% gets recycled rather than sent to landfill. This includes metal, wood, paper, soil and rubble. The process follows Environment Agency guidelines. We can provide waste transfer notes for business customers who need them for their records.
