Having a clear out? If you've ever faced the daunting task of removing a bunch of waste from a house, garage or outside shed, perhaps you've decided to tackle that tonne of rubbish kicking around your back garden that's been building up and hiding in the undergrowth, then you may have thought about hiring a skip.

It may seem like the obvious thing to do, however have you ever thought about using a professional clearance/removal service to do the job for you?

You're probably thinking it's likely to be more expensive. Well, you wouldn't be alone in this thinking but you'd probably be surprised to learn differently.

Here's 3 good reasons why bringing in the professionals to take care of it for you might just make more sense...

1) Skips are actually, more often than not, more expensive!

First things first! Hiring a skip isn't cheap and depending on where you live could cause nuisance and even require permission from the local authority (an added cost to deal with). Skip hire prices, along with waste disposal costs, have all increased over the last decade.

2) It's more work than you think it is.

Taking on the task may seem straightforward, however it's not until you make a start that the reality of what you're facing suddenly hits you. It can be dirty, painful work that requires hard physical labour in many cases, especially if it's been left outside for a long time.

3) You may have problems disposing of certain items.

All too often people don't realise that not everything can be disposed of easily. Sometimes there is an added cost or a particular disposal method for certain items and many skip companies won't allow these items to be thrown in their skips, if they do they'll probably have a hefty additional charge.

So, the next time you're thinking about having a good clear out, it may just be worth bring in the professionals.
