Skipgo Bloemfontein

We deliver empty skip bins to your home or workplace. Our mini bins come in multiple sizes, so you can find the right skip bin for your job. When you’ve finished with the bin, we collect it and dispose of your rubbish. Are you trying to decide what size skip to hire? If in doubt, we recommend choosing a larger size skip than you think you might need. It is illegal to overload your skip, and you will be charged for the removal of any excess waste if a larger skip is required. So, if you are in any doubt as to what size skip you need to hire, it’s best to go for the bigger size – and save yourself loads of cost and hassle! WHY MINI SKIPS? The waste industry has traditionally been dominated by large skip companies. As the industry has changed and we all have become more conscious of protecting our environment, the need has arisen for a smaller, more convenient skip bin. The benefits of using a smaller skip are numerous. To help you understand the benefits of mini skips, we have given you some examples: Complexes have strict building regulations, and many times a skip on site is required at all times. There is often not enough space to fit a large skip on the premises. You need a quick turnaround time on removing goods. We can offer same-day service. Space is often a problem, and smaller mini skips can fit in smaller areas and get closer to the waste. Industry needs smaller mini skips around their yards to help with productivity on site. Cost-effective. Certain waste generates bad odour if it is left for too long, so why not have smaller mini skips and rotate them more frequently? Contact a Skipgo Agent in your area today.

Mini skips are great for disposing of most items, but for legal or practical reasons, you can't put certain items and materials in a skip and must dispose of them separately. Putting such things in a skip could result in Skipgo refusing to remove them or charging you significantly more, and, in certain circumstances, Skipgo and you could even be criminally prosecuted if we load and try to dispose of them. WHERE TO FIND ALL APPROVED ITEMS: View the FAQ3 tab below for the list of items that will not be accepted by us, together with some additional information about why they are prohibited and how else you might dispose of them. However, please note that this is just a guide. Always contact your local Skipgo agent directly if you are unsure.

GAS CYLINDERS: Skipgo will accept all gas cylinders for disposal at a controlled waste management facility or scrap metal merchants, accompanied by a Gas Free Certificate. Gas cylinders are considered hazardous materials and, as such, will not be allowed on dumping sites. Residual contents of a gas cylinder are potentially dangerous, and Skipgo are not licensed to remove or transport them. ASBESTOS MUST NEVER BE MIXED WITH OTHER WASTE IN A SKIP: Asbestos in skips is a big no-no. You must never put asbestos in a skip; it is hazardous and harmful, and the government has implemented laws that make it illegal to reuse or recycle any asbestos material, or to dispose of it improperly. Asbestos must be removed by a specialist asbestos removal contractor. BATTERIES: No type of battery can be put in any skip. Batteries contain various metals and chemicals, so they must be treated separately; don’t put batteries in your skip, even small ones. You are better off taking them to battery recycling boxes at your local supermarket or petrol station, or search for your closest battery recycling centre. Car batteries also cannot go in skips because they contain high traces of lead. Lead is extremely poisonous and needs to be treated in a particular way. Call your local garage for advice on disposing of car batteries. PAINT, SOLVENTS, LIQUIDS and FUEL: The same goes for paint, solvents and fuels. These are all chemical compounds, and our licence does not cover us disposing of hazardous waste like this; therefore, they cannot be placed in a skip. Fluorescent lighting tubes contain mercury, another hazardous chemical, so they too cannot just be disposed of in your skip. These items require proper, licensed disposal, and must be taken to waste plants authorised to deal with them. MEDICAL WASTE: Medical waste must not be disposed of in ordinary skips – it risks infection and contamination, and needs to be dealt with by certain licensed firms. Anything from used or unused needles to biological waste needs special treatment and is not suitable for skips. Contact the Department of Health for guidance on properly disposing of medical waste. TYRES: Some tyres need a lot of TLC when being disposed of, and putting them in skips isn’t allowed.

We commit to service every order within 24 hours or at the time specified by our customer. (Dependent on skip availability) Please provide a 2-hour delivery window, for example, between 9.00 am & 11.00 am or 12.00 & 2.00 pm. You can request that the driver gives you a phone call when your skip is about to be dispatched; this is usually the most convenient solution for customers. Sometimes same-day delivery is possible; please ask, and we will try to facilitate your request if possible.

We measure our skips in cubic metres. Available sizes include: 2 cubic metres (2.4 m x 1.3 m x 1 m), 3 cubic metres (2.4 m x 1.3 m x 1.3 m), and 4 cubic metres (selective agents) (2.4 m x 1.3 m x 1.6 m). Not all agents have all three skip sizes available. Please check with your local branch which skip sizes are available.
