Skip Bag Hire: Alternative To Skip Hire

What is Skip Bag Hire?

Skip Bags are made from a strong plastic, designed to hold up to 1 tonne of building, garden and DIY waste. A popular alternative to traditional skip hire, skip bags are especially useful for properties with difficult access to a skip loader. Skip bags can often be purchased in high street DIY stores such as B&Q and Wickes, as well as specialist skip bag hire companies (such as HippoBag).

One of the main benefits to skip bag hire, is that you can load the waste in your own time - simply storing the bag until your ready to load it. Then you simply make a call to the skip bag company to make collection (beware the the price you pay for the skip bag does not include collection, and this is normally about another £50, depending on your location).

Advantages to skip bag hire instead of hiring a skip are...

	Skip Bags come flat packed, so you can simply store them until needed, then use at your leisure.
	No need to pay for skip permits from the council. With easier access for collection you can store the skip bag on your own property.
	You don't need to come home from work. Skip bag loaders can access your waste without you having to wait around.
	Easy access. If necessary we can take your skip bag over a wall or fence using a grab loader.
