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.
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.
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.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
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.
When it’s dark or visibility is poor because of fog or mist, place reflective cones or flashing marker lights around the skip.
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
