Usually the vehicle delivering the skip to your house will be a LGV and are normally very large. Make sure there is enough room to allow it in and out safely.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
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.
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.
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.
When it’s dark or visibility is poor because of fog or mist, place reflective cones or flashing marker lights around the skip.
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.
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
