In a heartfelt initiative, Sheridan Skips, part of the Sheridan Group, is rallying together to support a cherished colleague and friend, Gary Martin, who has recently been diagnosed with throat cancer.

Gary, a valued member of the Sheridan Group team, is not only a dedicated colleague but also a beloved family man and friend.

With the increasing awareness about climate change and environmental sustainability, homeowners are becoming more conscious of their actions and their impact on the planet.

Sheridan Skips has taken significant measures to promote sustainability in our operations. We have invested in state-of-the-art recycling equipment and other advanced technologies to minimise waste.

As a family run business, with the surrounding community at the heart of our endeavors – Sheridan Skips, has been operating as a drop-off point for those wishing to donate vital supplies for Ukrainian Refugees.

Why Our Ukraine Appeal Matters

Following mass devastation across the country of Ukraine due to the conflict with Russia, millions of Ukrainian people have been displaced. Many Ukrainians had no choice but to flee their homes and jobs, leaving their belongings and everything they knew behind.

With an influx of Ukrainian refugees across Europe trying to rebuild their lives the best they can, donations are incredibly valuable to them. Consequently, the Sheridan Skips team decided to utilise our resources to enable us to act as a drop-off point for those looking to donate items to Ukrainian refugees.

Local Communities with a Big Heart

The communities of Lancashire and Greater Manchester didn’t hold back in showing love and support for the people of Ukraine, with a large number of donations from people around the North West region.

The Sheridan Skips team decided to spread awareness by collaborating with our Lancashire based Marketing Agency, The Hatch.

The Hatch designed and produced dedicated posters and distributed them around the village of Sabden, where their headquarters is located.

Thanks to their support further propelling the fundraiser to new heights, an abundance of generous donations were delivered including items such as camping equipment, baby clothes, bedding/sleeping bags, toiletries and more.

Sheridan Skips’ CEO, Anthony Sheridan, commented: “I’m absolutely thrilled with the success of the Ukraine Appeal so far, and incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated to it. It is our hope that these donations will be able to help the people of Ukraine, following such traumatic events.”

Support our Ukraine Appeal

As the war continues to displace Ukrainians, Sheridan Skips is committed to continuing to support them with continuation of our Ukraine Appeal.

To find out more information about the Sheridan Skips Ukraine Appeal, you can call a member of the team on 0161 647 7668.

For many, the COVID-19 pandemic has been an opportunity to sort out home improvement projects for which they had previously lacked the time. And, of course, the downside of this is finding suitable disposal for the large amounts of waste that projects like these generate; however, in Manchester and the surrounding areas like Oldham and Trafford, you can easily book a skip online to prepare for your next spring clean or renovation project.

Hiring a Skip for Bulky Items

The Cambridge Dictionary defines spring cleaning as cleaning “all of a place, especially your house, very well, including parts you do not often clean”. To spring clean can also simply mean “to organise something, getting rid of the things you do not need”.

Unfortunately, though, some objects up for disposal can pose the problem of finding adequate removal. For example, while paper waste like newspaper, cardboard and paper packaging is unlikely to be overly arduous to handle, your heart may understandably sink if, during your annual spring clean, you decide it’s finally time to get rid of a sofa or chair that is damaged beyond repair. How are you supposed to get rid of that?

Plenty of other possibilities abound. Perhaps a son or daughter has recently moved out of the home, leaving behind a bed and bedside table you no longer have a practical use for. Alternatively, your microwave or vacuum cleaner might have permanently broken – leading you to buy a new one whilst remaining stumped about how to dispose of the old one, which you might not be able to sell.

The situation could be even worse if you have accumulated a wide range of waste as a result of undertaking DIY work in your home. You could currently have surplus plasterboard, bricks, mortar and glass strewn about various rooms.

Basically, if your household waste includes bulky items you wouldn’t be able to fit in your usual rubbish bin or recycling bin, you will need to arrange for a waste removal service to take those unwanted items off your hands – or, more to the point, off your land.

Yes, it would likely have to be your own, private land – unless a skip permit was obtained, specifying that you have been granted legal permission to keep a skip on a public road. If you want to hire a skip from us but you lack any private land – like a driveway – on which the skip could be practically placed, you might have no option but to seek a skip permit.

In the interest of public safety, including that of traffic and pedestrians, the Highways Act 1980 requires homeowners to have a skip licence in place before arranging for a skip to be positioned on a public road. Fortunately, we have prepared a detailed guide to how this licence can be obtained.

Even if a skip permit is granted, you would only be able to use it for the specific skip you are hiring and exactly where and when the applicant has said they seek to place it. However, if the permit application succeeds, you would be able to start filling your skip to the brim.

What could you fill it with? We have already mentioned quite a few examples – but others include doors, fridge freezers, cookers and mattresses at an additional charge. Rest assured that, whatever type of household waste you want to get rid of, we have a suitable size of skip available.

An Environmentally Friendly Way to Dispose of Waste

Another incentive to look for skip hire services when you have excess household waste is that providers of these services know how to dispose of it without damaging the environment. Therefore, you can avoid engaging, whether deliberately or accidentally, in ‘fly-tipping’ – that is, illegally depositing waste at a site lacking a licence to accept it.

When people do resort to fly-tipping, it is often due to the perceived ‘hassle’ of finding a site that indeed has a licence to accept waste. However, fly-tipping is a short-sighted approach that comes at a huge cost to the planet.

For example, if the waste includes dangerous chemicals, these could contaminate the soil and, as a possible consequence, harm local wildlife. This nonchalant method of waste disposal can also inconvenience locals and even risk their health by attracting flies and pests.

Even if you were to overlook the dubious ethics of fly-tipping, it would pose a major financial risk to yourself, as there is no specific fine for unlawfully disposing of waste on UK land. Instead, it is left to the courts to decide what financial penalty should apply.

It is worth emphasising that, as a licensed skip hire company, we will be able to accurately discern for ourselves what kinds of waste you have placed in the skip when we come to collect it again. Hence, we can make sure all of this waste is disposed of with ecological concerns in mind.

Once we have retrieved the skip from your home, the container will be taken to a local waste transfer station so that staff there can closely examine the contents. Some of these could be recyclable – in which case, they will eventually be sent to a local recycling centre.

However, the skip could also potentially be found to contain hazardous materials, such as asbestos, batteries or medical waste. As it would be dangerous for materials like these to be left on a landfill site, our team will make sure they are delivered to a more appropriate place.

Essentially, the more waste we can keep away from landfill sites, the better for the environment. Fortunately, when you book our domestic skip hire services, a specialist can help you to help them. For example, if you are uncertain what can and can’t be placed in one of our skips, you can ask our delivery team for clarification.

Household waste you would be able to transfer to the skip include furniture, plastic bottles, paper, cardboard and clothes. However, not all of your home’s waste could be from inside the building proper…

If you are particularly green-fingered, you might have been busy overhauling various parts of your garden – and generated a wide variety of garden waste in the process. Though garden debris comprises about 14% of the average household bin’s contents, you might not have realised that most types of garden waste are actually strong candidates for recycling.

Examples include grass, flowers, hedge cuttings, weeds and bark – any of which a specialist company would be able to turn into compost. This, in turn, could be used to nourish soil and so help plants to grow – a great way garden ‘waste’ can be seamlessly returned to the earth.

Save Time and Effort

You might be well aware of the importance of taking various eco-friendly measures but – understandably, given the fast pace of modern life – lack enough time to research everything you should do to reduce the strain your waste disposal methods place on the planet.

This is why, with our skip hire services, we always arrange for eligible materials to be responsibly recycled. We can also save more of your precious time – and help you to cut down on your carbon emissions – by preventing you from having to make multiple trips yourself to a tip.

Such repeated journeys could initially seem necessary if, say, you have pursued a major construction project at your home and amassed an awful lot of waste as a result. However, if renovation projects are a common thing at your property, we can help to significantly lower the average time it would take you to (responsibly) clear waste materials from your residence after the renovation work.

As we have previously mentioned, you could need a skip licence if you don’t have any particular private land on which the skip could be placed for as long as you need it. However, in many instances, obtaining this licence can be surprisingly straightforward.

Depending on the rules imposed by your local governing authority, you might not even need to apply for the licence yourself. We offer skip hire in Manchester as well as a wide array of other geographic areas near the Greater Manchester city – such as Prestwich, Whitefield and Limeside.

In many parts of England, the skip hire business itself is responsible for obtaining the permit. Fortunately, it’s easy to check, on the UK Government’s website, whether your own local council would require you to send the application.

The application will be sent to the local authority, who will assess it on the strength of various safety factors, such as how wide and busy the road is and therefore whether the skip could cause a major obstruction there. Also taken into account will be the skip’s proximity to the property.

You could be fined if you hire a skip for which a permit is not in place. Also, even once a skip permit has been granted, particular terms and conditions will apply to its usage – and our friendly team can easily guide you on these if any terms have left you confused.

Hire a Skip for Your Spring Clearout Today!

We offer a wide range of skip sizes – from four cubic yards, which can hold about 30-50 full bin bags, to 16 cubic yards, which are capable of accommodating as many as 170-200 bin bags full of household waste. If you are unsure which skip size would be best for your particular needs, please phone us on 0161 647 7668. When you feel ready, you can click here to book a skip online.

If you have a long history of overseeing refurbishment, remodeling and renovation projects, you are probably all too familiar with the arduous experience of taking repeated trips to the tip to offload the tonnes of waste generated as a result of property improvement work.

In your case, perhaps the work in question has been a domestic project, like fitting out a new kitchen or bathroom, or one of the commercial projects often appealing to businesses – such as repainting an office in new colours as part of a rebranding exercise.

At one point or another, though, you could find yourself with a dauntingly large amount of domestic or commercial waste that needs discarding. Simply dumping this waste on land not licensed to accept it would be a big no-no, as this would constitute the unlawful practice of fly-tipping.

Naturally, you need to find legal means of waste disposal – but taking your waste to a tip, otherwise known as a landfill site, can have a wide range of drawbacks in itself. Tips are so busy that you may need to wait in a long queue before you can even start manually loading and unloading your vehicle.

This loading and unloading can also be time-draining – especially if you have a large number of bulky items that need transferring. Depending on the amount of waste you have in total, you could also find yourself needing to make multiple trips even when all of this waste has come about due to just one building project.

Making multiple tip runs could also significantly increase your carbon emissions. That’s before you consider the further environmental damage you could inadvertently cause by using a landfill for the waste you might not have realised would actually be a strong candidate for recycling instead.

Fortunately, for both domestic and commercial customers, we provide skip hire in Manchester as well as surrounding areas like Bury, Tameside and Ashton-under-Lyne. While finding a solution for project waste is difficult, a skip can provide you with the best and easiest way to dispose of this material.

What Project Materials Can I Put in a Skip?

It could have eluded your notice just how efficient a skip hire service can prove for helping you to discard various types of waste. While not all materials would be suitable for a skip, a specialist skip hire company like Sheridan Skips can still advise you on what materials you should leave out – and help you with finding alternative ways to dispose of them.

The Builders’ Skips (Markings) Regulations 1984 govern what you legally can and can’t put in a skip. This law is in place to help prevent materials from being handled in a manner damaging to the environment – especially as certain waste is capable of emitting dangerous chemicals.

So, what items can you place in a skip? Good examples include many materials often routinely used in property improvement work, such as wood, tiles and plaster. We offer skips in which you could also load heavy building materials like rubble, stones, clay, bricks, metals and concrete.

Our friendly team can even help you with spring cleaning – as paper, cardboard, clothes and furniture could all also go into skips we are ready to supply. With a skip collection service, we can also handle large amounts of garden waste – for example, if landscaping work has just been completed in your garden and loose grass, weeds, flowers, bark and hedge cuttings now need removal.

Though garden debris comprises roughly 14% of the average household bin, most kinds of garden waste can actually be recycled. Once we have sorted through your skip and identified garden materials that would be eligible for composting, we can send these to a specialist company that would be able to create compost that is ideal for nourishing soil and helping plants to grow.

So, what items are you legally barred from putting in a skip? These items include animal waste, gas cylinders, batteries, paint, tyres, lighting fixtures, TVs and other, similar electrical devices. Also on the list is asbestos. When materials containing asbestos are disturbed or damaged, they release fibres that, when inhaled, can cause serious diseases.

What Skip Size Is Best for a Commercial Project?

We offer four different sizes of skips – and, if you are a landlord or property developer overseeing improvement work on a commercial property, you could understandably be eager to discern which of these sizes would be ‘just right’ for your needs.

After all, opting for the wrong size could require you to subsequently hire a new, more suitable skip, therefore costing you extra time and money – neither of which your business might have in particularly large supply. So, you should try your best to make the right choice the first time around.

The most common size of skip chosen by clients hiring from us is our 8-cubic-yard size, which is capable of holding various materials you might routinely use for commercial projects. These materials include rubble, wood, plastic and metal.

You could find this size of skip particularly cost-effective for disposing of plasterboard, as this must not be placed in a skip with mixed waste. Instead, plasterboard has to be kept separate, such as in its own skip – but your particular project might not result in quite enough plasterboard wastage to justify you hiring one of our larger, and thus more expensive, sizes of skip just for it.

Nonetheless, you could find that your waste disposal needs are much more significant than what our smallest skips alone can meet. Often, businesses can be involved in multiple property developments and improvements at once – and this can see demand for waste collection services soar.

If your business is indeed occupied in this way, you could feel drawn towards our 8-yard skips, each of which can hold eight tonnes of bulky waste. You could even contemplate our 12-yard skips, which are each good for containing up to 12 tonnes of heavy waste, or 16-yard skips – any of which can hold as many as 170-200 full bin bags of waste.

If you are struggling to decide which of our skip sizes would best suit your particular commercial requirements, we would welcome you to give us a call on 0161 647 7668 for a chat about the issue. We can schedule regular skips for commercial projects underway in Manchester and surrounding areas.

Which Skip Size Should I Hire for a Domestic Renovation Project?

Various examples of home renovation projects abound. These include installing new kitchens and bathrooms, converting garages and lofts and even just a little redecorating, such as repainting a wall or applying new wallpaper to it. However, all of these projects can create various kinds of waste.

Exactly what kinds of waste they do create will be a major factor in which type of skip should be hired in the aftermath. Still, before choosing between our skip sizes, you should look into whether you could find new uses for at least some of the ‘waste’ your renovation work has left behind.

While skips are often used to get rid of such usable items as furniture, these can be relatively bulky and so call for much larger skips than, say, surplus pieces of wood, plastic or metal. So, consider whether you might be able to donate usable items to charity or just give them away.

Minimising the amount of your domestic waste in this way can also make it easier for you to utilise cheap skip hire – since, the smaller the skip, the less expensive it will likely be to hire. A skip measuring four cubic yards can suffice for many smaller home renovation projects, like bathroom refits – and is also our most popular skip size.

However, if your home renovation project is particularly demanding or turns out to require more work than you had anticipated, the perfect skip for your needs could be larger than the base size we offer. Hence, you shouldn’t be afraid to ask our skip specialists for further advice on the subject.

It’s worth heeding that you could also need a skip permit if the skip will need to be left on public land – rather than, say, a driveway or garden, if neither of which you own is quite large enough to accommodate the skip. Reassuringly, though, we have helped domestic clients with obtaining skip permits and are thoroughly familiar with the process.

This is just one reason why our professional team can help you to save time, as they can also arrange to retrieve a skip on the same day they initially provide it. Alternatively, they could turn up to collect the skip the following day, if this would be more convenient for you.

As we know that overflowing landfill sites exacerbate climate change, we endeavour to minimise how much of the waste we collect eventually ends up at these sites. We follow strict, eco-friendly protocols and procedures, which enable us to sort materials left in a skip and identify recyclable contents so that we can subsequently transport them to recycling centres.
