Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.
If you’re skip needs to be placed on the pavement or road, then it’s the up to the skip hire company to make sure they have a valid licence or permit for the skip.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
Usually the vehicle delivering the skip to your house will be a LGV and are normally very large. Make sure there is enough room to allow it in and out safely.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.
