Why Choose Man and Van Clearance over Skip Hire

Skip hire in Cornwall can sound like a tempting option when looking at clearing rubbish out of your home or garden. Have you considered a Man and Van Clearance? But it’s important to weigh up the options and consider all the costs involved.

Paying the right amount

Hiring a skip requires you to know which skip size you require. Calculating the size of skip can be quite tricky! It’s easy to end up with a skip that is too small for the job and you have to hire a second skip. You may pay for a large skip that has lots of unfilled space at the end of your rubbish removal. Neither is cost effective!

Unlike Skip hire, The Green Clearance Company provide free no obligation quotes for Clearances in Cornwall. We take into consideration if you have items such as antique furniture and will discuss if we can offset any charges. To speed up the quoting process, you can email or WhatsApp photos to us of the areas to be cleared. Obtaining a quote will give you the exact cost of your clearances, no hidden charges. Our team will figure out how many trips will likely be needed or how many vans will be required.

Skip hire and licence costs

Skips take up a lot of space and will need a fair size area to place them. This can be an issue in itself for many people with poor access. If you don’t have a driveway for your skip to be delivered in, you have to apply for a Licence to place a skip on the road, if there is space. Licences to place a skip on the highway start at over £100.

When using a Man and Van Clearance such The Green Clearance Company, we don’t need to apply for licenses as everything is removed quickly. We are registered with the Environment Agency and have a Waste Carriers License which is a legal requirement to transport waste. We will ask you about access to your property as if you have tricky access it will increase the time our staff spend on site.

Filling the skip yourself

Skip hire is simply a place to put your rubbish until it is collected, which can be very useful in lots of circumstances. However, you will need to do all the heavy lifting and physically get waste into the skip, You may need to find someone to help you, which would increase the cost of your rubbish removal even more. If you are clearing a loved ones property, this might be particularly tough to do yourself.
