About Atkinsons Skips

Atkinsons Skips is a family run skip hire and waste management company based on the Pelaw Industrial Estate in Gateshead, serving domestic and trade customers across the North East of England. The company supplies skips in three sizes, a 4 yard midi, an 8 yard builders skip and a 10 yard maxi, suitable for projects ranging from home clearances and garden work to large scale commercial refurbishments. Atkinsons Skips works with builders, landscape gardeners, plumbers, bathroom fitters, joiners and kitchen installers, as well as members of the public carrying out renovations, garage clearouts and house moves. The company operates its own fleet and does not subcontract or act as a broker. Its main site is a licensed waste transfer facility staffed by trained personnel, and it works closely with the Environment Agency to meet all relevant waste legislation and regulations. Atkinsons Skips aims to recycle as much collected waste as possible in order to reduce landfill. Where a skip is to be placed on a public road, the company arranges the necessary permit on the customer's behalf, charging only the council fee rather than any administration charge.
