Where can the skips
be placed?
Skips cannot be placed on the highway without a permit and correct
signage and lights. If you cannot place on private land (remember
the grass verge outside your house may not be owned by you!) we will
organise the necessary permit with the relevant local authority.
Do I need permission from the local
authority when hiring a skip?
Only if you want the skip to be placed on the road, pavement or
verge. The council will charge a fee for the licence, which varies
depending on what local authority you come under.
I need a skip quickly, how long do I have to wait?
We can deliver your skip on the same day as it's ordered or within
24 hours if you require a permit.
How do I know what size skip I will need?
We will be happy to discuss your requirements and advise you on a
solution to suit your specific needs.
Where can the skip be left?
We will leave your skip in the most convenient location, which might
be the driveway or organise for the skip to go on the road. They can
also be at business, office and factory locations. As the vehicles
delivering to your house are LGV's and normally very large, please
make sure that there is sufficient access to allow it in/out safely.
If you are unsure, please contact us and we can provide you with the
approximate dimensions required.
Do you offer a service for builders and
contractors?
Yes we do, as we are a Licensed and Registered Waste Carrier
company.
How long can I keep the skip for?
The normal Skip Hire period is up to one month, but longer is
acceptable at no extra cost.
How much can I put in the skip?
You must not load the skip higher than a level load as this makes it
dangerous to transport.
What can I put in the skip?
Skips are for general and inert waste only. You can't put in
florescent tubes, fridges and freezers, asbestos, paint, aerosols,
tarmac, solvents, liquids, batteries. For a full list of things that cannot be put in a skip
please contact us.
Is the rubbish recycled?
The rubbish is taken to a waste transfer station, and recycled
wherever possible. We endeavour to make sure that at least 90% waste
will be sent for recycling.
