Frequently Asked Questions

• Are there any items that cannot be disposed of with grab hire?

  While grab hire vehicles can handle a wide range of waste materials, there are certain items that cannot be disposed of using this service. Hazardous waste, such as asbestos, chemicals, contaminated soil, and certain types of industrial waste, are not suitable for grab hire and require specialised disposal methods. Electrical appliances and certain types of liquids may also be restricted. If you’re unsure about any materials, our team are available to provide guidance and help you determine the best disposal method for your waste.

• What are the benefits of grab hire?

  Grab hire services offer several key benefits, particularly for construction and landscaping projects. One of the primary advantages is efficiency; grab lorries can quickly collect large volumes of waste, which is especially useful for sites with limited space or where waste needs to be removed swiftly. Additionally, grab lorries can reach over walls and fences, accessing areas that might be challenging for traditional skip hire. If you are comparing the two, read our Grab Hire vs Skip Hire guide to understand the differences. This flexibility makes them ideal for urban sites or projects with restricted access. Grab hire also reduces the need for manual labour, as the hydraulic arm of the lorry does the heavy lifting, saving time and reducing the physical strain on workers.

• What can I put in a grab hire vehicle?

  A grab hire vehicle is highly versatile and can accommodate a wide range of materials. Typically, you can dispose of construction and demolition waste such as soil, rubble, bricks, and concrete. It is also suitable for clearing garden waste, including soil, branches, and other green waste. Additionally, general building materials like timber, metals, and hardcore can be placed in a grab hire vehicle. However, it’s important to ensure that no hazardous materials are included, as these require specialised handling and disposal methods.
