What can I put in a skip? 2018-01-10T11:00:35+00:00

There are lots of different things that you can put in a skip, including furniture, kitchen units, bricks and wood. You can also dispose of hazardous waste, but this needs to be in a special container and separate from non-hazardous waste.

Before you order a skip, you need to make sure you get one that’s suitable for the type of waste you have. Take a look at our ‘Service’ page to find out what kind of skip you need.

How high can I load my skip? 2018-01-10T10:41:56+00:00

When you’re loading your skip, it’s important not to overfill it. Please don’t fill your skip any higher than the top of its sides, otherwise it won’t be safe to transport and you may have to remove some waste.

What size skip do I need? 2018-01-10T10:52:36+00:00

The skip size you need depends on the type and amount of waste you have. Take a look at our ‘Skip Sizes’ page to find out which skip size is best for you.

Where can I put my skip? 2018-01-10T11:01:05+00:00

You can put your skip anywhere you like on private property, as long as it can be collected easily. Please don’t move your skip once it’s been delivered, as this may make it difficult to collect.

If you want to put your skip on a public road then you’ll need a permit from your local council. We can arrange this for you – simply order your skip online and give us a call. We’ll only charge you the amount that we are charged by your local council.

Will I get a covered or open skip? 2018-01-10T10:53:04+00:00

The majority of skips our companies supply are open skips.

When will I get my skip? 2018-01-10T10:53:16+00:00

When you order your skip, you can choose the day you want it delivered. We’ll make sure that you get your skip within 2 working days of your order and on the date that you’ve selected.

How long can I keep my skip for? 2018-01-10T10:53:27+00:00

You can usually keep your skip for a maximum of 2 weeks.

How do I get my skip collected? 2018-01-10T10:54:50+00:00
