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.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
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.
Midi Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
When it’s dark or visibility is poor because of fog or mist, place reflective cones or flashing marker lights around the skip.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
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.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.
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
