In addition to the above, our 4 and 5 yard skips are for light waste only. This means you can not load a 4 or 5 yard skip with hardcore waste such as soil, concrete and bricks.

We have a strict level load policy on all our skip sizes. This means you should not overfill the skip above the level on the skip.

If you load your skip too high we reserve the right to return the overloaded waste or charge you an additional fee of £40.

We can place the skip on your private property (E.G front garden/driveway), but you may need to consider access for our delivery and pickup drivers.

If you want to put a skip on a public highway (a road) owned by the local council, you will require a permit.

You can keep your skip for up to 7 days. When placing an order online you will not be able to choose a date longer than this.

If you require longer please call us before ordering so we can confirm.

All of our skips are strict level load only, this means you shouldn't fill the skip higher than the level line of the skip.
