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.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.
If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.
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.
When it’s dark or visibility is poor because of fog or mist, place reflective cones or flashing marker lights around the skip.
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.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
If you do need to place a skip on the road or highway make sure the skip is placed in a position where it won’t become a danger to road users.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
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
