Everything you need to know for hiring a skip over Christmas

Hiring a Skip Over Christmas – Christmas is arguably the most exciting time of year. But for many, it also means a large, annoying build-up of waste! Whether it be Christmas decorations, wrapping paper, cards, or the tree itself, your house can get pretty messy, pretty quickly!

This is why many people opt to get rid of it all at once, by hiring a skip. Depending on the scale of the waste you’re dealing with, you can pick from multiple sizes to ensure it’s all disposed of in one go. This convenience is why our skip hire in Bolton is popular year round, especially at Christmas.

Looking to get ahead of the rush and plan your Christmas clear out early? Here are the essentials that you should not skip over.

Why would I need a skip over Christmas?

There’s a reason that skip hire is popular over Christmas, despite it being cold out. In fact, there are many. Most people want to simply clear out their home and feel like over Christmas is a good time to do so. You can either get rid of the waste collected over the year before the big day, or do a large scale clear out after the festivities end, ready to start the New Year.

The time off that many people are given over the Christmas period may finally give them the opportunity to work on that job they’ve been putting off for a while. And although the weather outside may indeed be frightful, a durable skip gives you the perfect method of waste disposal.

Help the environment

Christmas trees present a huge, damming effect on our carbon footprint, especially if not disposed of correctly. This is why we recommend recycling your natural trees efficiently at every possible opportunity. If you take your artificial tree to landfill, then it will barely decompose over time and have a negative effect on the environment. While decomposing, as much as 40kg of greenhouse gas emissions will be released into the atmosphere, with this figure being 16kg with real trees.

To eliminate these harmful gasses completely, you can hire a skip to recycle your tree for you. By including it inside a skip, we can do the recycling for you. We’ll turn your trees into compost or wood chips, giving them a range of uses in both agriculture and commercial sectors.

Be mindful of opening times

Similarly to many other companies around this time, skip hire can be more limited over the Christmas period. A lot of skip hire companies reduce their opening hours so that their workers can enjoy the time with their families. This is something to consider when looking to hire a skip for your own use. A time that you prefer may not be available, through closure or already being booked.

This is why we recommend that you book your skip hire as early as possible, to avoid disappointment. Here at Chorley Skip Hire, we’ll always try our best to accommodate as many people as possible. But as Christmas is a naturally busier time for hiring a skip, planning ahead assures you of a spot on our Christmas delivery lift. Who says we’re not the gift that keeps on giving?
