5 reasons to use a local professional skip hire company

Are you keen to buy local? Whether you are a homeowner or business, using a local professional skip hire company for rubbish or construction waste removal provides many benefits.

1^st Choice Concrete & Skip Hire is proud to serve the Merseyside area. We provide skip hire services to homeowners and businesses across the region.

If you are thinking of using a skip hire company based outside your local area, or taking your rubbish to a waste and recycling centre yourself, here we highlight five reasons why ditching those ideas and using a local professional skip hire company instead will benefit you, your pocket and your project.

1. Local knowledge and compliance

Working daily in the community in which you are based, your local skip hire company has comprehensive knowledge of your area’s recycling and waste facilities. They also fully understand, and operate to, local waste management regulations. This gives you peace of mind they will swiftly and compliantly dispose of your waste at the most appropriate facility.

Having served other customers with similar requirements to your own, your local skip hire company can advise on important factors such as permit prices, how to contact council departments and anticipating typical local challenges you may encounter.

2. Faster deliveries and lower carbon footprint

When it comes to avoiding project delays, knowing you can rely on a local skip hire company to provide a quick skip delivery and collection service is key. Simply by travelling a shorter distance, a local skip hire company can be more responsive and reduce the carbon footprint associated with skip deliveries, collections and trips to local waste and recycling centres.

1^st Choice delivers skips to Merseyside customers within 24 hours of placing an order. Providing a reliable service is central to how we operate. By containing our deliveries to the Merseyside area, we know we can continue to provide that reliable service and not inconvenience our customers with late deliveries or collections.

3. Buy local for a stronger economy

Supporting the local economy is becoming more of a priority in the buying decisions of both domestic and commercial customers. By choosing a local professional skip hire company you contribute to the local economy which benefits your wider community.

At 1^st Choice we are aware of other reputable local businesses that provide complementary services to homeowners and businesses. Procuring the services of one local company often has the domino effect of providing work for other local businesses which makes the local economy stronger.

4. Competitive rates

Thanks to lower labour and transport costs and reduced wear and tear on vehicles, local skip hire companies can offer customers competitive rates compared to companies based outside of the area, without compromising on service levels.

1^st Choice rates are highly competitive because we mitigate costs and understand what is affordable and reasonable within our local and business communities.

5. Tailored advice and professional service

If you are considering removing your waste yourself, you may be undertaking a larger challenge than anticipated. Without expert local knowledge of what can be recycled, where to take hazardous or bulky items, or an understanding of your local waste management regulations you could regret not using the expertise and services of a local professional skip hire company.

Customers who have never hired a skip before benefit from tailored advice about choosing the most appropriate size of skip, timescales, permits, recycling, local compliance and more.

Businesses or contractors who regularly hire skips benefit from opening a trade account and working consistently with a local company who gets to know their needs and priorities over a period of time.
