FAQ
What size skip do I need?
This would depend on the type of waste you are wishing to dispose of, for example, if you were looking to put heavy materials e.g. soil and rubble into a skip you would only be allowed a skip up to and including an 8 yard skip.
However if you were looking to dispose of light/ general household waste you could have a larger size skip and one of our sale team will be able to assist you with this process.
Is there any waste that I cannot put into a skip?
The following waste are not permitted to be placed into one of our skips:
- Gas bottles
- Fluorescent Light tubes
- Batteries
- Asbestos
- Tyres
- Food Waste
- Any other hazardous waste
I don’t have anywhere off road to place the skip, what other options are available to me?
We can obtain a skip license on your behalf with several councils, please see our Road Permit Information page. Although some councils request the home owner applies direct, please contact us regarding your application.
The skip application takes too long to process and I need the skip tomorrow. What other options are available?
We offer a wait and load service. This is where we bring the skip and you have 30 minutes to load it. After the 30 minutes we will remove the skip. This is included in the skip price. If you require longer than 30 minutes to load the skip, please contact the sales team for a quote.
Please be aware if we obtain a parking fine whilst on site, the responsibility of paying the fines lies with the customer. We are unable to offer a wait and load service in the Borough of Richmond.
How much room do I need to allow the skip lorry to gain access and the drop the skip?
One of our sales team would be happy to give you further information on the space needed for a skip and the clearance in which the lorry would need to gain access through a gate or narrow street/alleyway.
No one will be on site to pay for the skip. What options are available?
We can take payment for the skip over the phone. However we do not accept cheques as a method of payment.
