A Few Things to Know Before You Book

Need a little more guidance before choosing your skip? Here are answers to three of the questions we’re asked most often.

View All FAQs
What size skip do I need?

The right skip depends on the type and amount of waste, the size of your project and the space available for delivery. Our range runs from compact 2-yard skips through to larger 20–40 yard Roll-On Roll-Off containers.

If you’re unsure which size is right for you, contact us and our team will be happy to recommend the most suitable option.

How long can I keep the skip?

Standard skip hire includes up to 14 days. Longer hire periods can usually be arranged if required, subject to additional rental charges.

Please contact our office for current extended-hire rates.

What can and can’t go in a skip?

Most general household, garden, renovation and construction waste can be accepted, including materials such as wood, metal, cardboard, plastics, brick, concrete and green waste.

Items such as asbestos, fridges, freezers, gas bottles, liquid chemicals, paints, lithium batteries and hazardous electrical items must not be placed in a general skip. If you’re unsure about a particular material, contact us before loading your skip.
