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.
For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.
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.
Midi Skips: Capacity, 3-4 cu yards or 2.5 - 3.5 cu meters. Height, 3'2” or 0.97 meters. Length, 6' or 1.83 meters. Width 4'3” or 1.29 meters.
When it’s dark or visibility is poor because of fog or mist, place reflective cones or flashing marker lights around the skip.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
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.
Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of skip.
Never fill a skip with waste materials that could present a potential fire hazard or cause an explosion. Also, materials that could release toxic fumes, pose a health or environmental hazard should not be thrown into a skip.
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
