The Advantages of using a Wait and Load Service

Wait and load is the alternative to traditional skip hire for removing waste, particularly rubbish created by building works. There are a number of reasons why this service has been developed but some of the main issues are those caused by parking restrictions and a lack of space in urban areas.

Hiring a skip for use in an area where there are parking restrictions will usually require permits from the council, a charge for the permit, and the risk of inconveniencing neighbours. This is where wait and load comes into its own. The service can be booked for a time that is convenient, the vehicle arrives and the rubbish is quickly loaded, then the street is clear again in a relatively short time, with no need for council permission.

Another issue with skip hire is the risk of fly-tipping, which fills up the skip with other peoples rubbish. As charges for waste removal escalate, particularly where it is destined for landfill, so unattended skips become more attractive for criminals looking to dispose of rubbish without payment. Sometimes this might include hazardous waste, which leaves the person hiring the skip with an expensive headache to deal with.

Other benefits that come with using a wait and load service include the flexibility. Skips hold a fixed amount of waste and do not take into account the size of the job in hand. Lorries can hold as much as the equivalent of three skips, which saves the time taken while waiting for individual loads to be taken away.

One final benefit of using wait and load is that companies (like us of course) will often be involved in recycling. Separating out what can be reused keeps costs down and makes savings that can be passed onto you.
