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.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of skip.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
Midi Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.
