As communities brace for another round of restrictions, we at Martlands Skip Hire want to provide a clear, practical update on how we’re operating safely during Lockdown 2. Following the prime minister’s address and the latest government guidance, we are pleased to confirm that Martlands Skip Hire will remain open for skip hire throughout this four-week period. This post explains why hiring a skip makes sense during lockdown, the safety measures we’ve put in place, and how we can support you while keeping everyone protected.
Why hiring a skip makes sense during lockdown
Lockdown 2 brings renewed limitations on leaving home for non-essential activities. With trips to local authority recycling centres often out of the question, having a skip delivered to your property can be a smart, practical, and compliant solution. Hiring a skip from Martlands Skip Hire helps you manage waste responsibly without breaching lockdown rules, especially when you’re undertaking home renovations, garden clear-outs, or general decluttering.
- Convenience and compliance: A skip allows you to consolidate waste in one place, reducing the number of trips you’d otherwise need to make.
- Reduced exposure risk: By limiting journeys, you minimize potential exposure to COVID-19 for you and your household.
- Streamlined project planning: With a dedicated waste container, you can plan projects more efficiently, keeping focus at home where it’s safest.
We recognise that many customers have concerns about hiring a skip during lockdown. Our commitment at Martlands Skip Hire is to address those concerns directly and transparently, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
What makes Martlands Skip Hire a safe choice during Lockdown 2
Safety is our top priority. We’ve implemented robust covid-safe measures to protect both customers and staff, drawing on government guidance and industry best practices. Here are the core areas we focus on:
1) Social distancing protocols
- Our team maintains at least two metres of distance from customers and other staff at all times.
- Delivery and collection processes are organised to minimise close contact, with clear spacing and streamlined handovers where feasible.
2) Enhanced hygiene practices
- Frequent handwashing and sanitisation of hands by all staff during shifts.
- Regular cleaning and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces, including skip handling equipment and vehicles, to uphold high hygiene standards.
3) Use of protective gear
- Vehicle seat covers and fresh disposable gloves are used for each delivery or collection.
- This practice reduces cross-contamination between locations and maintains a safer service for everyone involved.
4) Contactless payments
- We encourage customers to use contactless card payments to minimise physical contact during transactions.
- While cash transactions remain possible if needed, contactless options help reduce risk for both customers and our team.
5) Clear communication and transparency
- We aim to keep communication open and straightforward. If you have questions about our processes or how Martlands Skip Hire is operating during Lockdown 2, we’re ready to respond quickly.
- Our team is available to explain specific protocols related to skip delivery and collection, ensuring you feel confident about using our services.
