As the outdoor capital of the UK and the largest town on the Highlands’ west coast, Fort William is a hub of activity — tourism, trade and a substantial residential population all keep things moving beneath Ben Nevis. Skip hire is in regular demand for renovations, commercial work and clearances of every kind.
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.
Fort William is a fair distance from our depots at Inverness and Alness, so booking a little ahead helps us plan your delivery efficiently. Call 01463 336080 or book online and we’ll arrange the right skip for you.
