Skips are certainly popular and have their place, but there\u2019s another option which not everyone knows about, and which can be a better alternative to a skip in some scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>A Grab Hire Service is one where a specialised lorry simply comes to collect your bulky waste from its current location. The experienced driver safely takes care of the loading and removes the waste. This applies whether the waste is from a large domestic project, a commercial or construction project, or a highway project. The benefits over skip hire are that it\u2019s cheaper, faster and the crane on the Grab Hire lorry can simply reach over obstructions such as fences and walls, which can prove tricky for skip access. Grab lorries can deal with a wide range of waste types, from top soil, hardcore, limestone and crushed concrete through to hazardous materials such as asbestos. If you&#8217;re unsure, you can ring up (03000 309 978) and receive some experienced advice on whether a Grab Lorry is suitable for your waste removal circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Just as with skips, there are different sizes of Grab Lorries, with capacities ranging from 9 to 18 tonnes of waste. All three sizes of Grab Lorry are 3.7 metres (12\u20192\u201d) in height and 2.6 metres (8\u20197\u201d) wide. The smallest lorry is the 4-wheel, which is 7.8 metres (25\u20197\u201d) long. The next size up is the 6-wheel lorry, which is 8.1 metres (26\u20197\u201d) long. Finally, the largest lorry is the 8-wheel which measures in at 9.1 metres (29\u201911\u201d) in length.<\/p>\n<p>After your waste has been removed, it\u2019s taken to a Waste Recycling Centre for sorting and processing, to ensure that as much as possible is kept out of landfill. So you&#8217;re safe in the knowledge that you\u2019ve done your best for the environment as well as your timescales and budget.<\/p>\n<p>If a Grab Hire Service sounds like it will suit your needs, or even if you just have some questions, the next step is to enquire by ringing the Skip Company (based in Pontypool, Gwent) on 03000 309 978, emailing info@theskipcompany.co.uk or visit our website at www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/skip-enquiry.html.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; If you\u2019ve got a bulk quantity of waste to dispose of whether it\u2019s from a big project you\u2019re doing at home, or in a commercial capacity, it\u2019s probably a skip which springs to mind as the solution.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-skip-information"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=778"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":779,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778\/revisions\/779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
