Practices

Can I place a skip on the road?

If your skip needs to be placed on a public road, a council permit is required, and in some cases, a bay suspension may also be necessary. Permit times vary from 2–10 days depending on the council. Don’t worry — we can arrange all permits for you and guide you through the process.

How quickly can a skip be delivered or swapped?

We usually offer same-day delivery if ordered early in the day, though giving us a bit more notice helps us better meet your schedule. We always aim to accommodate tight deadlines, so just call or email us with your requirements.

How long can I keep a skip?

Skips can typically be hired for up to 21 days. If you need it longer or your skip fills up sooner, we can either extend your hire period or arrange an exchange skip quickly to keep your project running smoothly.

What are the loading requirements for a skip?

To ensure safety and secure transport, all waste should be level-loaded within the skip. Overloading or uneven stacking may cause damage or spillage.

What waste can I put in a skip?

We accept general household waste, garden waste, commercial, and construction non-hazardous waste. Common items include wood, concrete, bricks, rubble, soil, plastics, metals, paper, glass, fabric, and tiles.
