Before they load anything into the van, there’s one thing worth checking: are they actually authorised to take your waste?

Householders have a duty of care to make sure their waste is handed to an authorised person. In England, you can check a waste carrier on the Environment Agency’s public register using their business name or registration number.

It only takes a minute, and it matters because your responsibility doesn’t automatically disappear just because the rubbish has left your driveway.

A cheap collection isn’t much of a bargain if your old bathroom ends up dumped somewhere it shouldn’t.

If you’re ever unsure who you’re handing your waste to, check first.

Bonfire Night is coming, but the pile of rubbish from your latest clear-out probably shouldn’t be joining it. 🔥

Old furniture, plastics, household rubbish and leftover renovation waste can contain materials that shouldn’t be burned, even if chucking everything onto the bonfire feels like an easy way of getting rid of it.

If you’ve been clearing the garden, garage or house ready for winter, it’s worth sorting out what actually needs to go where rather than treating the bonfire as one big disposal pile.

And if the clear-out has turned into slightly more waste than expected, that’s where we can help.

Enjoy the fireworks. Let us deal with the rubbish. 🎆

That pile of rubble from the renovation? The old kitchen you've been meaning to get rid of? Or the garden waste that's slowly taking over?

Time to reclaim your driveway.

Whether you need a skip, wait and load service or a grab lorry to take it all away, PB Donoghue has you covered.

Less rubbish, more room to actually park your car again. 🚗

If your skip looks like this… it isn’t level loaded 👀

We use the words “level loaded” quite a lot, but all it really means is that your waste needs to stay within the top edges of the skip, rather than being piled up above them.

It isn’t about spoiling anyone’s impressive stacking skills. It’s about making sure the skip can be collected and transported safely.

So if everything is already reaching the top and there’s still half a garage sitting beside it, it might be time to admit defeat and give us a call!

WhatsApp us on 020 8149 9553 and we’ll help you get sorted.

You’ve already dug it up and moved it into a pile. The last thing you probably want to do is move it all again.

For jobs producing loose material like soil, rubble, hardcore or broken concrete, a grab can take a lot of the manual work out of getting it off site.

Rather than loading everything into a skip by hand, the grab arm does the loading for you where access allows.

That can be especially useful for garden clearances, driveways, landscaping and groundwork where the material is already sitting loose and ready to go.

Sometimes the easiest option is simply letting the machine do the heavy lifting.

If you’ve got a pile building up and aren’t sure whether a skip or grab makes more sense, speak to the PB Donoghue team.

End of year project coming up? Make sure the skips booked in!

You can book online with PB Donoghue: https://www.pbdonoghue.com/skip-hire/4/ or drop us a WhatsApp on 020814 99553

Not every skip hire website you find online actually owns the skip that turns up.

Some businesses operate as brokers, taking the booking and then passing the job to another company.

PB Donoghue works differently. We operate our own fleet of skip lorries, have our own stock of skips and containers and manage the waste through our own licensed operation.

For the customer, it simply means you know who you’re dealing with from the point you book to the point the skip is collected.

We’ve been doing it that way for more than 50 years, and we think there’s something reassuring about knowing the company you booked with is the company turning up at your door.

Message us on WhatsApp to book your skip: 020 8149 9553 or order on our website: https://www.pbdonoghue.com/skip-hire/4/

Don't want a skip sitting on your driveway for days? You've got options 👀

If you're tackling a renovation, garden clearance or home project, you don't necessarily need a skip hanging around once the job's done.

Our usual skip hire period is up to 14 days, but that doesn't mean you have to keep it for the full two weeks. Finished earlier than expected? Just get in touch and arrange collection.

Alternatively, if you've got everything ready to go and don't want a skip left on your driveway at all, our wait and load service could be the answer.

We'll bring the skip to you, wait while it's loaded and take it away once you're done.

Whether you need a skip for a few days or just enough time to load your waste, we can help you work out the best option for your project.

A bigger skip doesn’t necessarily mean you can put heavier waste in it.

It sounds slightly backwards, but skip size is about volume as well as weight. A larger container gives you more space, which makes it great for bulky waste, but filling that extra space with heavy materials like soil, rubble or concrete can make the overall load too heavy to transport safely.

At PB Donoghue, skips over 8 yards shouldn’t be used for heavy materials for exactly that reason.

So if you’re clearing out a house full of bulky bits, bigger might make sense. If you’re digging up a garden or breaking out concrete, a smaller skip may actually be the better option.

Not sure which way to go? Tell us what you’re getting rid of and we can point you in the right direction.

A smooth skip delivery can start before the lorry even gets to your road.

If you’ve got a skip arriving, a few simple things can make the delivery much easier: move any cars that could block access, make sure gates are open, clear the space where you want the skip to go and let us know beforehand if there’s anything unusual about the access.

Remember, it isn’t only the skip that needs to fit. The lorry needs enough room to get in, position safely and lower the skip into place too.

Our drivers deal with all sorts of streets, driveways and tight spots every day, so if you’re unsure whether access might be tricky, just ask when you book.

A little bit of planning beforehand can save a lot of manoeuvring on the day.
