An enclosed skip is the safest available skip because it will stop contents falling out and prevent dust flying up when waste is put into the skip.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.

Its probable that you wont need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
When carrying out renovations or building works to your property, you may find that you need to hire a builder's skip to get rid of the rubble or rubbish. 4th November, 2006
