Tip: Always select a skip slightly larger than you think you will need to avoid disappointment. Remember, you may not over-fill your skip - see below.


What you need to advise us about


If the skip is to be placed on the highway, including the pavement, then a licence will probably be required from the Highway Authority, under under Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. We can obtain this Licence for you, but if may mean that we can't offer the Same Day Service that we promise, because Local Authorities don't usually move that quickly, but at least we will be able to give you some idea of the time delay that they might impose.

Hazardous Waste

Some items of waste require special handling or notification, so you need to tell us if any of the following are likely to be included in your waste:-

• Fridges/Freezers
• Tyres
• Paint Cans
• TV’s/Monitors
• Asbestos
• Clinical/Medical Waste
• Florescent Tubes
• Solvents
• Liquids
• Oil
• Batteries
• Plasterboard (max 10% of load)
• Hazardous/Toxic Material

If any of the above will appear in your skip, or if you are unsure of any items, then if you are using the Contact Us form, then include the item(s) in the Message Box at the end of the form in order to avoid difficulties later.

Warnings

1. Please don't overfill the skip, because if you do, we may not be able to take it away as overfilled skips will render our drivers liable to be stopped for carrying a dangerous load. If in doubt, order a skip a size larger that you might be tempted to hire, as this may be cheaper in the end than having to have a second skip delivered, with the added cost of a wasted call-out if our driver finds that he cannot take a smaller one away because of over filling.

2. If you require us to place a skip on private property, please be sure that your driveway or wherever you need us to drive over, will take the weight of our lorries, as while we shall take every care, we can't be responsible for broken slabs etc as a result of your instructions.
