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.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
Builders Skips: Capacity, 6-8 cu yards or 4.6 - 6.1 cu meters. Height, 4' or 1.22 meters. Length, 12' or 3.66 meters. Width 5'6” or 1.68 meters.
Large Skips: Capacity, 12-14 cu yards or 9.2 - 10.7 cu meters. Height, 5'3” or 1.6 meters. Length, 13'8” or 4.2 meters. Width 6’ or 1.84 meters.
Mini Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
If your skip isn’t filled and its contents aren’t stable, cover with dampened or netting to prevent inside waste materials from blowing out.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.
Midi Skips: Capacity, 3-4 cu yards or 2.5 - 3.5 cu meters. Height, 3'2” or 0.97 meters. Length, 6' or 1.83 meters. Width 4'3” or 1.29 meters.
