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.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
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.
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.
If you do need to place a skip on the road or highway make sure the skip is placed in a position where it won’t become a danger to road users.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.
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
