Skip hire has been a popular waste management option for many years, but it's not always the best solution for every situation. Here is why:

• Space limitations: If you have a small driveway, garden, or property, it may be hard to find enough space to place a skip. You might have to consider alternative locations, such as the street, which could require a permit and additional fees.
• Loading difficulties: Loading waste into a skip can be a challenge, especially if you have bulky items, heavy materials, or hazardous waste. You need to lift and carry the waste to the skip, which can be time-consuming, tiring, and even dangerous if you're not trained in manual handling.
• Capacity restrictions: Skips come in different sizes, but the biggest ones may not be enough for large-scale projects or commercial sites. You might need to rent multiple skips, which could get expensive and complicated to coordinate.
• Environmental impact: When you hire a skip, you're responsible for the waste in it until it's collected and disposed of. You have no control over what happens to the waste or where it goes, which could lead to illegal dumping, fly-tipping, or pollution of the surroundings.

Grab hire, on the other hand, offers a more flexible and efficient way of dealing with waste. With grab hire, you get a lorry equipped with a hydraulic arm and grab bucket that can reach up to 8 meters, allowing you to access and load waste from a distance. The grab lorry can carry up to 16 tonnes of waste, which is twice the capacity of a standard skip, and can collect various types of waste, including general waste, green waste, concrete, sand, soil, and brick.
