Some of the many benefits of hiring an enclosed skip from Reconomy include:

When the skip is closed, you prevent any unwanted access from third-parties or fly-tippers, who may dispose of incorrect or hazardous materials in your skip.

Enclosed skips ensure that any waste materials that retain a value are not at risk of theft.

Waste can be harmful to both the environment and the public, which means that hazardous types of waste need to be disposed of appropriately. Regulatory guidelines stipulate that hazardous materials should be separated from normal waste and this influences the enclosed skip hire solution you will need. Types of hazardous wastes include, but aren’t restricted to, these materials:

• Sodium lamps and fluorescent tubes
• Contaminated spills and rags
• Aerosols
• Paint in original containers
• Lead acid batteries
• Oil and fuel filters
