Strathpeffer is a charming Victorian spa village, its grand pavilion and elegant villas a legacy of the days when visitors came to take the waters. That heritage means renovation here is often careful and characterful, producing exactly the kind of waste a skip handles well.
If you’re tackling a small build or renovation, the 8-yard inert skip handles the heavy stuff — brick, concrete, rubble, hardcore, soil, gravel, ceramics, tiles and glass, to a 6-tonne maximum. Wood, metal, plasterboard, plastics and black bags aren’t accepted in this one. It’s available as a standard open skip or with a drop door, the latter folding down at the rear for easy wheelbarrow loading of heavy rubble and soil.
For a clearout that mixes household, garden and a little building waste, the open-top 8-yard municipal skip is ideal. It takes black bags, wood, metal, plastics, glass, ceramics and tiles, plus brick, concrete, rubble, soil and gravel, to a 6-tonne maximum, and copes easily with bulky items. Plasterboard is the one material it can’t accept.
The 14-yard enclosed municipal skip suits big, light clearances where security matters, its fully enclosed sides keeping waste contained and out of sight. It accepts black bags, wood, metal, plasterboard, ceramics and glass to a 6-tonne limit, and is the only skip that takes plasterboard. Heavy inert waste isn’t allowed, so brick, concrete, rubble, soil, gravel, tiles and plastics should go in an 8-yard skip.
Pat Munro Waste runs two Highland depots, at Inverness and Alness, and Strathpeffer sits within easy reach of both — so delivery and collection are quick to arrange. Call 01463 336080 or book online and we’ll match the right skip to your project.
