If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.
Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.
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.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
Midi Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
Make sure that waste materials don’t stick out from the sides of the skip. This can pose a potential hazard for road users or pedestrians.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
Mini Skips: Capacity, 1-2 cu yards or 0.75-1.5 cu meters. Height, 2'6” or 0.76 meters. Length, 5' or 1.52 meters. Width 4' or 1.22 meters.
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
