The Isle of Skye has seen a remarkable tourism boom in recent years, and with it a surge in property renovation, new self-catering accommodation and the steady upkeep of crofts and homes across its scattered townships. Skip hire on the island calls for a bit of planning, and we’re well used to serving it.
For the rubble, concrete and soil that building and landscaping throw up, the 8-yard inert skip is the right tool. It takes brick, concrete, rubble, hardcore, soil, gravel, ceramics, tiles and glass within a 6-tonne limit, but not wood, metal, plasterboard, plastics or bagged waste. It comes as a standard open skip or with a drop door, which gives ground-level wheelbarrow access for loading heavy material.
Mixed clearances suit the 8-yard municipal skip, which pairs an open top for bulky items with a broad accepted list: black bags, wood, metal, plastics, glass, ceramics, tiles and the heavier brick, concrete, rubble, soil and gravel, all within 6 tonnes. Keep plasterboard out and it will handle the rest.
For volume without weight, reach for the 14-yard enclosed municipal skip. Fully enclosed and secure, it handles black bags, wood, metal, plasterboard, ceramics and glass within a 6-tonne limit and is the only skip in the range to accept plasterboard. It’s not designed for heavy material, so brick, concrete, rubble, soil, gravel, tiles and plastics belong in one of the 8-yard options.
Being some way from our Inverness and Alness depots, Isle of Skye is best served with a little notice so we can schedule delivery within our runs. Ring 01463 336080 or book online and we’ll get the right skip to you.
