How To Choose A Skip Hire Company In Stanley

Check Recent Reviews

Look for companies with consistently good Google reviews, particularly from customers in Stanley. Pay attention to feedback about delivery punctuality and customer service.

Consider Depot Location

Companies based in or near Stanley 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 Durham County 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.
