General Skip Hire:
The Hirer (Customer) will pay to the Owner (Recycle Southern Limited), the charges specified at time of order, in advance of delivery, unless credit account arrangements have been made. Skips will not be removed until payment is received in full.
Unless otherwise agreed, the standard hire period will be for a period of 2 weeks maximum from date of delivery, or date of last exchange. We reserve the right to collect the container after that date without prior notice.
Skips can only be placed on private land, unless agreed at time of booking, and appropriate approved permit is in place. Where required, it is the responsibility of the Hirer to ensure that the container is properly illuminated during such times as the law shall require and shall indemnify the owner against any claims, proceedings, expenses in respect of the failure to illuminate the said container.
We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee regardless of whether or not we have attended your site, for any booking cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, including instances where we are unable to perform the skip movement due to restricted access or overloading.
The Hirer is responsible for the container, and the contents thereof, whilst in possession, and shall be responsible for all claims, costs, damages and expenses arising out of the position and the use thereof, thus indemnifying the owner against any claim. Any damage to the container will be charged for.
The Hirer ordering vehicles to be driven to or from the container to be placed off the road, do so entirely at their own risk – the hirer thereby accepting liability for any damage caused to third party property.
Recycle Southern will not be liable in any way for any delay or failure to perform its obligations, or any loss, delay or damage incurred by the Hirer due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, which will include (but is not limited to), labour disturbance, accidents, breakdown of vehicles or machinery, fire, floods, unforeseen or abnormal conditions, acts of God, extreme weather.
The Hirer shall not move the container from it’s original position, once placed by the Owner.
