Midi 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.
If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
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.
Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
