Any waste materials your project generates need to be handled and disposed of safely and efficiently – and with TW Services, you can trust you’re in capable hands.

Our team has been providing grab lorry hire in Thanet for many years and can collect most types of waste. Our muck away lorries help to clear significant volumes of muck (soil) away from your site, including hard-to-reach areas.

Tipper hire or grab lorry – which is best?

Deciding whether to hire a tipper or grab lorry can be difficult, especially since they both have their advantages. However, the best option for you will typically depend on your worksite and the machinery you have access to.

For example, if you have the machines required to load waste onto the vehicle, tipper hire is ideal. We’ll simply remove the truck once it’s fully loaded.

Alternatively, we can visit your site with one of our grab lorries and use the loading bucket to load unwanted materials onto the vehicle. With this option, you don’t need to lift a finger – giving you more time to focus on the task at hand.

If you’re unsure whether you need tipper or grab lorry hire from Thanet Waste Management (TW Services), don’t hesitate to get in touch.

What’s considered hazardous waste in grab lorries?

Hazardous waste is a type of waste that can harm humans, animals, or the environment because of its toxic, flammable, explosive, or corrosive properties.

Mixing hazardous waste with general waste can lead to contamination of non-hazardous streams, causing environmental harm and wasting resources. Proper handling and disposal of hazardous waste are crucial to avoid these issues.

There are various types of hazardous waste, and each requires specific disposal methods. For items like fridges and freezers, it's essential to dismantle them into separate components for correct disposal.

If you're uncertain whether your waste is hazardous, feel free to give us a call at 01304 626364, and we'll gladly assist you in figuring out the best course of action.

Do you need a permit to hire a grab lorry in Thanet?

Choosing a grab lorry instead of a skip has a big perk – you don't need a permit. While skips usually require a permit from your local council, grab lorries don't.

The reason is simple: when skips are placed on your site, they can disrupt local traffic or cause problems. On the other hand, grab lorries are mobile and load faster, causing fewer disruptions and avoiding the need for a permit.

If you're thinking about getting a grab lorry in Thanet, just email enquiries@tw-services.co.uk and we’ll get back to you ASAP.
