Below are answers to some common questions.
The skip size you need depends on the amount and type of waste you’re disposing of.
For household projects, smaller skips (2-8 yards) are usually sufficient.
Larger renovations or commercial projects may require bigger skips (10-50 yards).
Our team can help you select the perfect size based on your project details.

We can assist with the permit application process to ensure compliance.
Alternatively, our wait-while-load service allows you to avoid permit requirements by having our driver stay while you load the skip.
We accept most general waste, including wood, metal, plasterboard, and green waste.
Items containing POPs are accepted but charged per item. Refer to our terms and conditions for more details.
Additionally, hazardous materials like asbestos, batteries, chemicals, and certain electrical items are prohibited.
