Skip Information

Builders skips larger than 8cu. yds are not suitable for heavy waste (i.e. hardcore and soil)

20-25 cubic yard roll on off's are suitable for clean inert material or builders waste; 25-40 cubic yard roll-on-off's are only suitable for light builders and factory waste.

In most cases, all roll-on-off's containing non-inert material will be chargeable on a transport and tonnage basis.

In any event the maximum weight a roll-on- off vehicle can lift is 18 tonne.

These container and vehicle specifications are for guidance only and may vary depending upon manufacturer and geographical area being serviced.

Where site access is limited due to length/width/height restrictions please contact us for more specific container/vehicle specifications in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size skip do I need?

A: We have a wide variety of skip sizes available. Please refer to the size guide above.

Q: Where can I have my skip dropped?

A: You can have it dropped on your driveway, garden or building site, basically any privately owned land.

Q: Do I need permission from the Council to put a skip on the road?

A: Yes. You will need a permit from the Council, we can apply for the permit on your behalf. 3 working days notice is required. This would also apply to any Council owned property (pavements, verges etc).

Q: What if the council won't allow the skip to be placed on the road?

A: If your council refuses a licence , we can come along with a skip and the driver will wait while you load it up. This would need to be requested at the time of order and the maximum waiting time is 20 minutes (unless an additional 'waiting' charge has been agreed).

Q: Are there any restrictions on what I can put into a skip?

A: Yes. You cannot use a skip to dispose of asbestos, plasterboard, fridge/freezers, car batteries, tyres, gas cylinders, paint tins (full), fluorescent tubes, liquids, television sets, or computer monitors. This is constantly changing in line with EA legislation (for example most electrical equipment will soon be dis-allowed). This list is not exhaustive. If unsure please ask a member of staff for assistance.

Q: How full can I load the skip?

A: The only requirement is that you don't overload the skip. The skips can be level loaded only in cases or inert materials.

A: Skips can usually be kept on site for up to 2 weeks. However individual requirements can be accommodated dependent on availability.
