Is there a weight limit?

What is the standard skip hire period?
Our standard skip hire period is as follows:
- 5 working days for normal skips
- 7 working days for RoRo skips
Hire period can be extended on request for an additional 7 days. Please note that an additional charge also applies for extended skip hire periods.
How much room is required for access?
All our skips are delivered on large, heavy trucks. We usually need a minimum 3m clearance width for the lorry to access.
Other access issues to think about: If you have any of the following obscuring the access, please put it in the online order notes or mention it when booking over the phone.
- Overhanging trees, branches, bushes or structures such as roofs, walls, etc
- Cables (overhead & ground level)
- Drain covers (weak or prominent)
Can the skip go in my garden?
Skips will not be placed on unstable or soft ground without a disclaimer being signed.
Do skips damage driveways?
Soft tarmac and block paved driveways can occasionally be marked or damaged when placing skips on them. This can normally be avoided by placing scaffold planks or larger pieces of wood where the skip is to be positioned.
While our drivers will take all precautions to avoid damages, we can not take responsibility for any damage caused to a driveway by placing or removing a skip.
What waste type is not allowed in a skip?
You cannot put hazardous or harmful items into a skip. These include but are not limited to TVs, computer monitors, asbestos, tyres, fluorescent tubes, fridges, paint and paint tins (unless empty), plasterboard, batteries, medical waste, gas cylinders, liquids, solvents, oil, petrol, diesel and explosives.
