As a hirer, you have a number of responsibilities when it comes to hiring a skip.
Non-permitted waste includes:
Please note that as the hirer you are liable to further charges should any of the above be found in the skip.
From 1st April 2009 amendments to Landfill Regulations 2002 mean that Gypsum (plasterboard and other sulphate bearing products) must not be mixed or landfilled with biodegradable waste. We can supply plasterboard only skips to meet your requirements.
Please note that as the hirer you are liable to further charges should more than 10% of the skip contain carpet. This is charged at £100.00 additional costs per skip
Important Information regrading Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) the following changes apply as of January 2023
Managing wastes containing POPs
POPS are persistent organic pollutants that are highly controlled under legislation in terms of their use (now banned) and also any materials / wastes that contain such POPs.
Any wastes containing POPs cannot be recycled or reused; such wastes cannot be landfilled with all such wastes effectively requiring incineration.
The POPs that have been found in household seating is a brominated flame retardant.
Waste household seating and POPs
Household domestic seating includes any item of seating of a household type (from households or businesses) that is waste (for example sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, kitchen and dining room chairs, stools and foot stools, office chairs bean bags plus floor or sofa cushions.
Any such item that has an upholstered aspect – including leather, synthetic leather, other fabric or foam – may contain these POPs.

21 days is the normal hire period, however we won't collect the skip without informing you first / or you off hiring the unit.

The morning before the preferred day of delivery is ideal, if you know before this then you can still book with us, the earlier the better.

The list is vast, have a look at our terms and conditions it will tell you what you cannot put in, if you are still unsure call our sales team for advice.

All our skips come back to our Waste Transfer Station for segregation and recycling, feel free to mix the waste.

If the wall is low then normally yes, however beware we are not responsible for any damage caused as we are acting on your instructions. We would suggest you are on site to supervise the manoeuvre.

Almost impossible to answer, if you click on the skip icons, measurements are listed to give you an idea of the sizes. Remember though 6 yard skips are the largest you can use for soil and hardcore

No, we call these "greedy boards", all loads must be level. The company and the drivers can be prosecuted for unsafe loads.

No, definately not, this is a contravention of the Fire Safety Guidelines and can damage the skip and paintwork. You will be liable for any costs incurred for the replacement or repair of the skip.
