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.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
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.
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.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
