What can a single source supplier do for you?

As Sussex’s leading eco-friendly waste management company, Rabbit Waste Management knows exactly what makes a good waste partner. Rather than simply hiring someone to take away your day-to-day rubbish, or working with several providers, reap the rewards of efficiency and savings by working with a single supplier that can offer so much more.

• A one-bin solution – instead of having to organise and find space for multiple bins, everything goes into one receptacle that is taken away and the recyclable materials recovered, leaving the non-recyclables to be treated and disposed of in an efficient way that minimises environmental impact.

• Skip hire for bigger clear-outs – from mini-skips to industrial container-sized skips, there’s a skip to suit your needs, that can be ordered quickly and efficiently using the online booking system. Whether you are having an office clear-out, renovation or even demolition, Rabbit can deliver a skip to your site and collect it again once you’re done with it.

• Managing waste and clearing up after an event – events take a lot of organising so cut down your to-do list and use Rabbit’s one-bin solution for your event. Again, no need for umpteen different bins to recycle various items; everything can simply got into one, to be sorted at Rabbit’s plant later.

• Equipment for renovations – with a range of equipment available to clients, from self-drive diggers to tracked dumpers, you can take on any commercial renovation knowing that all your needs will be met.

• Demolition contracts – for those larger scale projects, clients can turn to Rabbit Demolition, the specialist demolition contracting arm of the company, offering full planning and management of your demolition project, as well as all the necessary equipment and resources.

Enhance your green credentials

By working with a single supplier for a multitude of services you will reap efficiency and cost savings, as well as making your life a lot easier. Not only that, by working with a company committed to improving the environment, you improve your own green credentials with your stakeholders – customers, employees and shareholders – and tick a lot of the sustainability boxes required of businesses today.

Where can I put my skip?

This will depend on size, but essentially there are two options: on your property or on the highway near your property. Remember you’ll need a space big enough for the skip lorry to drop and pick up the skip. These vehicles can be as wide as 9-10 feet and can take some maneuvering, and remember they are much heavier than your car, especially when picking up a loaded skip, but you should discuss access with Rabbit Skips beforehand.

Do I need a Highway Permit?

If you don’t have sufficient space on your own property you will need a skip permit from your local council to put it on the road. This may be a simple process – Rabbit Skips will sort the permit for you – or it can become more complicated if, for example, you require a particularly large skip, or if the skip is positioned somewhere that requires parking bay suspension as well. Make sure you plan ahead as it can take some days to get a permit, to avoid possible fines, and to avoid complaints from your neighbours who may feel they haven’t been given adequate notice. Remember, there is a charge from each local Council for the issue of a skip permit.

What size skip do I need?

When you order your skip make sure you get one that it is the right size for the job. If you’re having work done then your contractor might be able to suggest the one for you, otherwise bear in mind a 2 cubic yard skips can hold 40 black bags of rubbish, while a 12 cubic yard skip will hold 240 black bags – take a look at the Rabbit Skips website for photos of each sized skip.

Other points to consider

Think about the weight of the rubbish you are disposing – eight bin bags of soil will weigh more than eight bin bags of household material so discuss this with your supplier before booking your skip. Also, skips must always be loaded level so they can be safely transported on the road. Finally, remember there are some types of waste that cannot be put into skips – these include paints, solvents, fridges, TVs, monitors, car tyres and so on – products and materials which may be hazardous to people and the environment.

At Rabbit Waste Management we recycle and reuse as much waste as possible, so whatever you put in your skip, we’ll do all we can to make sure it doesn’t end up heading for landfill. Book your Rabbit Skip online today, or contact us via 01903 762020 or info@rabbitgroup.co.uk for more information.

This year why not take your spring cleaning to the next level? Out with the old and in with the new – it’s time to go the whole hog and have a proper clear out.

And it will be easier than you think if you hire a skip – a convenient waste deposit box delivered and collected in a door-to-door service. The hassle-free answer to your spring spruce up.

3 Top Tips for spring skip hire

• Be wise with size – However small your renovations there is a skip size for you. Skips sizes range from mini (ideal for garden waste) to industrial container-sized skips (ideal for commercial demolitions). It is cheaper to hire one skip rather than two, so make sure you order a large enough skip for the job. If you think that even the industrial sized skip will be too small, some companies provide large containers to go on your site– these are available from Rabbit Waste Management
• Location, Location, Location – Where to park your skip? If you do not have a driveway it is possible to park your skip on the road but be sure to book well in advance to allow for the application for a Highway Permit. And treat it like you would anything else, follow The Highway Code when it comes to safety considerations, such as lighting and signposting – skip companies do like to have their skip back in one piece. And don’t worry if you don’t have a suitable spot for a skip – Grab services, such as that provided by Rabbit Waste Management, mean you can just pile up your waste ready for us to collect.
• Get the waste type right – Do use your skip for any general waste but don’t deposit any large appliances or hazardous waste into it. Always check with your service provider before you dump anything that may require specialist disposal.

Rabbit Waste Management can help with any disposal solution you may require. Not only will we take care of your waste so that you don’t have to but we will do it in a green fashion. At Rabbit Waste Management we pride ourselves on creating energy from waste.

At Rabbit Waste Management, we’re proud to offer a range of commercial skip hire and residential skip hire options for our clients. There’s no job too small or too big in our philosophy, and that’s why we offer a fantastic range of skips.

We offer mini-skips that are perfectly suited to garden waste, which is perfect for small scale residential landscaping projects. We also offer industrial container-sized skips that are capable of dealing with the substantial amount of waste created during demolitions.

Whatever your requirements, you won’t need to worry. If you’re not sure, we’d be happy to help you decide which skip size is the right one for your needs. Of course, you need to make sure that provisions are made for where the skip can be placed – as they can only be placed in certain areas.

Most people using skips in a residential setting will put their skip in their driveways or on a piece of land which is part of the property. This is not always possible however, for example when access is required to the land – but it is legal to place a skip on a public highway or verge where this is not possible.

There are some complications to this; you need to have a pre-applied Highway Permit from the local Council Authority. This also entails the use of the correct signing and lights to make the placement of the skip safe for pedestrians and other road users.

Getting a permit takes up to four working days, so you should make allowances for this. Also, if you require a permit for your skip then please be aware that we cannot deliver the skip until the permit has been obtained.

Overall, we’re proud to offer an excellent range of skips for our clients and offer them the advantages of our green methods of disposal once they’re collected. If you’re interested in any of our services, or you would like to know more, please feel free to contact us – we’d be happy to help.
