Skip capacity indications are a guide only. Please do not try to over fill the skip as the driver may not be able to collect the skip, as it may be a risk to the public.
What can I not put in a skip?
You cannot put in fluorescent sodium lamps, gas cylinders, solvent paints, clinical medical waste, liquids, oils, asbestos or any hazardous waste.
Additional charges will apply for fridges/freezers, plasterboard and tyres. These items must be pre arranged when placing the order.
How full can it be?
Skips must be level loaded – i.e. they must not be filled above the top edge of the skip. This is to ensure safe transportation. It is illegal to overfill a skip.
Where can you put the skip?
If it is on private property, then virtually anywhere the lorry can reach. All lorries have extending arms allowing us to drop skips in awkward and tight spaces. The lorries are approx. 10ft/3 metres wide and need reasonably firm base on which to load/unload on and also to drop the skip on. If it is on the road, then space needed for the lorry to park in order to drop the skip directly behind it.
Do I need a permit?
If the skip is on the public highway then yes. If a permit cannot be obtained, and no private land is available, then we do offer a wait and load facility.
We can arrange the permits through the council on your behalf but require at least 5 days notice.
How quick can I get a skip?
We can usually deliver a skip within 5 hours.
How long can I keep the skip for?
Skips can be kept for a maximum of 14 days, but if you think that you need the skip for longer please call our office and we will be obliged to find a convenient solution for you.
Do you recycle waste?
Yes!
Over 95% of the waste that goes into our skips is sorted at our Transfer station before being sent for recycling.
We aim to be 0% to landfill by the end of 2023.
Do I need to be home for delivery?
If your payment is taken via credit/debit card you will not need to be at the property – the driver will be fully trained and able to undertake delivery and collection.
Should you have any specific instructions regarding a delivery or collection, please advise us when you call.
