Expansion into Cornwall for EMS with the acquisition of Masters Skips in St Austell

EMS Waste Services are thrilled to announce the purchase of Masters Skips based at St Austell. Cornwall.

This is an especially exciting expansion and partnership as Masters Skips is the first depot based outside of Devon for EMS.

Masters Skips has been supplying Skip and Roro hire to south east and central Cornwall for over 20 years and have built an excellent reputation along the way.

We look forward to continuing this great service and building more working relationships with the residents and businesses of Cornwall. 

RECYCLING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF DEVON – And now cornwall!

EMS Waste Services Ltd is one of the top waste management services with head office based in Exeter, Devon.

We have skips suitable for every purpose, whether you need a waste recycling service or asbestos collection and disposal, we work diligently to ensure that our services meet and exceed your every expectation.

With yards in Exeter, Paignton and Plymouth the acquisition of Masters in St Austell means we can continue the great service they’ve been providing in Cornwall.

We can book a permit on your behalf to ensure that your skip can be placed on the road without any worry at all.

With over two decades of experience and a track record for success, our unwavering services are continually expanding to ensure that we recycle every kind of waste possible.

Masters have a great reputation in Cornwall so will fit well with the EMS business ethos

Quality service you can rely on

We pride ourselves on our customer service, which we feel is reflected in our ever-increasing portfolio of returning customers. We understand the importance of punctuality, particularly for commercial clients, and we will always be there to deliver or collect your skip on time.

Masters Skips Ltd provides a complete skip hire, waste transfer and recycling centre in St Austell. Established over 20 years ago, we deliver, collect and exchange skips for our customers in south east and central Cornwall.

From small domestic customers to large construction companies, we have a range of maxi, midi and mini skips to meet your requirements.

Why choose us?

  • Prompt, reliable delivery and collection
  • Well-established with an excellent reputation in and around St Austell
  • Flexible hire contracts
  • A green philosophy – anything that can be recycled will be
  • Licensed waste transfer station

We believe firmly in waste recycling where possible, and are committed to minimising the amount of waste sent to landfill.

All glass, wood and plastic waste is recycled at our licensed waste transfer station and customers can also visit the station to drop off rubbish or recycling.

Prompt delivery and collection in Cornwall

Our skips are delivered, collected and exchanged promptly – either on the same day or the following day. Rather than charging per day for skip hire, we operate on a flexible two-week hire basis. If the skip is still needed at the end of the two weeks, we can then extend your skip hire contract.

Sometimes a council permit may be required in order to put a skip in a public area. If this is the case, we will help fill out all the necessary paperwork and organise a site inspection on your behalf – all you have to do is pay for the cost of the permit.

So if you’d like some more info on our services just give us a call. We’re always happy to help.

SKIP HIRE IN DEVON – HOW TO LOAD THAT PERFECT SKIP!

SKIP HIRE IN DEVON – HOW TO LOAD THAT PERFECT SKIP!

With hundreds of skips coming and going each week from EMS you wouldn’t believe the way some of the skips are loaded! So here’s a lesson in how to load a skip efficiently. Believe it or not, it will help you get more for your money.

If you want to save money on your renovation project, you need to ensure that you load your skip efficiently. If you overfill your skip you could face a fine. To get the most value for your money follow our tips for filling a skip.

We do get the odd customer worthy of a GOLD STAR. Here’ s a couple of examples of how to do it properly

ORGANISE YOUR WASTE

Before placing any items into your skip, you should separate your waste into the following categories (unless of course there’s only one material being disposed of such as inert waste)

FLAT ITEMS SUCH AS –

Cardboard

Styrofoam

Paper

Wooden veneer

TESSELLATE OBJECTS SUCH AS –

Bricks

Tiles

Worktop panels

BULKY ITEMS SUCH AS –

Furniture

Cupboards

Wardrobes

LOOSE DEBRIS SUCH AS –

Sand

Gravel

Soil

BE AWARE OF ANY PROHIBITED ITEMS WHEN SORTING THROUGH AND LOADING YOUR WASTE. YOU MIGHT BE PENALISED IF YOU LOAD A SKIP WITH PROHIBITED ITEMS

PROHIBITED ITEMS INCLUDE –

WEEE waste (e.g. computers, mobile phones)

Medical waste

Batteries

Paints

Solvents

Explosives

The removal of these items requires specialist services. Give us a call if you have hazardous items to dispose of.

RIGHT LET’S START LOADING

FIRST LAYER – FLAT ITEMS

Make sure that all items are as flat as possible before loading the skip. This means flattening all cardboard boxes. 

Begin loading the skip by placing your flat items at the base. You should try and fill the whole area as evenly as you can. These items will be compounded by your heavier items once they’re loaded.

SECOND LAYER – TESSELLATE ITEMS

Place tessellate items on top of the flat items, joining items together to make layers. So if you have a group of bricks for example, arrange them to complete a single layer of bricks across the base. Then, move onto a second layer and so on.

THIRD LAYER – BULKY ITEMS

Break down your bulky items into smaller pieces. For example the legs of a table should be removed from the tabletop. Most pieces of furniture should have some removable components.

Place the flattest items in the skip first. Then add the bulkier items. Try to fill all available space instead of stacking items on top of one another.

FOURTH LAYER – LOOSE DEBRIS

Fill the remaining pockets of space with loose debris. Pour the debris into any gaps or nooks that have formed from the bulkier items.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

Do not overfill your skip. An overfilled skip can be dangerous to transport and will usually land you with a fine. If you have followed the guidelines and are still unable to fit everything in your skip you will probably need to order a second skip. Give us a call or book online.

A handy tip to avoid these problems is to use some foresight and order a skip of the perfect size for your project. On our Skip Hire page you can see the measurements of our skips by length, height and width. There’s even a handy little guide using a commonly known car to give you a better idea of skip size. This should ensure you get the right skip for your job.
