Van vs Skip

Have your waste collected by Skoup today!

Whether you are clearing your house or refurbishing your office, finding a hassle-free waste removal option can be difficult for both homeowners and businesses. With Skoup you can have your waste removed quickly, efficiently, cost effectively and with a minimal environmental impact.

Which is the most suitable option for your project or waste needs?

Deciding the right option for you is not always simple – whether you need your waste quickly removed or you need something to store it in for a longer project, Skoup has a service for you. Over the recent years, the “man and a van” service has become a popular alternative to the traditional skip hire. Did you know even large and bulky items can go in a van? We can also collect electrical items as part of the service, including fridges, freezers and TVs, which cannot be placed in a skip.

Even better, our Van It service can often be much more cost-effective than hiring a skip. Skoup allows you to choose one of our three Van It options ensuring you are paying only for the waste that you need removed. The man and a van service also gives you the freedom to choose your preferred collection day and you can even benefit from same day collections if you book before 12 noon. Only pay for the items you need collecting using our new Bulky Waste Pay Per Item service.

 Our Skip It service is more suited for longer projects when your waste is produced over an extended period of time. Our range of skips provide a great place to store your waste until it’s ready for collection and disposal. With three sizes to choose from, we are confident we have a skip for your waste needs and budget.  

Skips can often take up a lot of room, there may also be access restrictions up to the area where you want the skip to be place, however, our vans can typically access areas that a skip vehicle cannot. 

Hire a skip today by 12 noon for next day delivery!

Ultimately, when deciding which option works best for you, it all comes down to the size and length of your project. If you are struggling for space or time, a man and a van service is the most beneficial option for you as it is more convenient and can take a wider range of waste types. If you think your project will carry on for a few days, it might be more cost effective to hire a skip rather than multiple vans. *
