Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.

Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.

If you’re skip needs to be placed on the pavement or road, then it’s the up to the skip hire company to make sure they have a valid licence or permit for the skip.

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.
