Frequently Asked Questions About Skip Hire

Q: What size skip do I need?

A: We have a wide variety of skip sizes available. Please refer to the size guide above.

Q: Where can I have my skip dropped?

A: You can have it dropped on your driveway, garden or building site, basically any privately owned land.

Q: Do I need permission from the Council to put a skip on the road?

A: Yes. You will need a permit from the Council but in most areas we can apply for the permit on your behalf. This would also apply to any Council owned property (pavements, verges etc).

Q: What if the council won't allow the skip to be placed on the road?

A: If your council refuses a licence , we can come along with a skip and the driver will wait while you load it up. This would need to be requested at the time of order and the maximum waiting time is 20 minutes (unless an additional 'waiting' charge has been agreed).

Q: Are there any restrictions on what I can put into a skip?

A: Yes. You cannot use a skip to dispose of asbestos, plasterboard, fridge/freezers, car batteries, tyres, gas cylinders, paint tins (empty or full), food waste, fluorescent tubes, liquids, television sets, or computer monitors. This is constantly changing in line with EA legislation (for example most electrical equipment will soon be dis-allowed). If unsure please ask a member of staff for assistance.

Q: How full can I load the skip?

A: The only requirement is that you don't overload the skip. The skips can be level loaded only.

Q: How long can I keep the skip?

A: Skips can usually be kept on site for up to 10 days. However individual requirements can be accommodated dependent on availability.

Q: How do I book a skip?

A: Either order securely through this website, or call our experienced and helpful Operations Department on 08700-801010.

Q: What happens to my waste after it is taken away in a skip?

A: the waste will be taken to the local transfer station where it is sorted and disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
