Thurso is the northernmost town on the British mainland, a substantial Caithness centre with a strong community, a celebrated surfing scene and a busy mix of residential and commercial life. Its scale and distance make skip hire both important and worth planning.
For heavy, inert waste from building and DIY work, the 8-yard inert skip is purpose-built. It accepts brick, concrete, rubble, hardcore, soil, gravel, ceramics, tiles and glass to a 6-tonne maximum — though not wood, metal, plasterboard, plastics or bin bags. Choose the standard open skip for loading over the side, or the drop-door version, which adds a fold-down rear door for wheelbarrow access when you’re shifting weighty material.
When you’re clearing the house or garden and the waste is mixed, the open-top 8-yard municipal skip takes almost everything: black bags, wood, metal, plastics, glass, ceramics and tiles, and the heavier brick, concrete, rubble, soil and gravel too, up to 6 tonnes. Only plasterboard is excluded.
For larger, lighter clearances, the 14-yard enclosed municipal skip offers generous capacity with the reassurance of fully enclosed, secure sides. It takes black bags, wood, metal, plasterboard, ceramics and glass within a 6-tonne limit, and is the only option in the range that accepts plasterboard. It isn’t for heavy waste, though — brick, concrete, rubble, soil, gravel, tiles and plastics belong in an 8-yard skip.
Being some way from our Inverness and Alness depots, Thurso 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.
