Step 4: Skip Permits & Placement

Where the skip will go is very important and affects the cost and time.

On Private Land (Your Driveway)

• This is the easiest and cheapest option.
• No permit is required.
• We can often deliver the same or next day.
• Ensure the driver has clear access and the ground is stable.

On a Public Road or Pavement

• You MUST have a Skip Permit from the local council.
• We will apply for this permit for you, but it adds to the cost.
• Permits can take 3-7 days to be approved, so book in advance!

Step 5: How to Load Your Skip

Loading your skip efficiently saves space and ensures it can be collected safely.

• Break It Down: Dismantle furniture and flatten all cardboard boxes. This is the best way to save space!
• Flat Items First: Place flat items like doors or panels at the bottom to create a level base.
• Heaviest Next: Load heavy items like bricks and rubble next.
• Fill the Gaps: Use smaller items and loose debris to fill all the empty spaces.
• DO NOT OVERFILL: You must not fill the skip above the "level load" line. Overfilled skips are illegal to transport and will not be collected.
