How To Choose A Skip Hire Company In Lewes
Check Recent Reviews

Consider Depot Location
Companies based in or near Lewes often offer faster delivery and better local knowledge. They're also easier to reach if you need to extend your hire or resolve issues.
Confirm Waste Type Acceptance
Make sure the company can handle your specific waste type. Some materials like asbestos, tyres, or electrical items require specialist disposal.
Ask About Delivery Times And Permits
Check if they offer same-day or next-day delivery. If you need a skip on the road, ask whether they handle Lewes District Council permit applications on your behalf.
Check Recycling Practices
Reputable companies recycle a high percentage of skip waste. Ask about their environmental policies and recycling rates.
