Hiring a skip is straightforward, but avoiding common pitfalls can save you time and money. Here are five mistakes to steer clear of when booking your skip.
Choosing the Wrong Skip Size
Selecting a skip that’s too small may require additional hires, increasing costs. Unsure about the size you need?

Overloading the Skip
Exceeding the maximum fill line poses safety risks and can incur extra charges. Ensure you load your skip evenly and within weight limits.
Forgetting About Permits
Placing a skip on a public road requires a council permit. We can arrange this for you!
Disposing of Prohibited Items
Avoid placing the following in your skip:
Electrical items (fridges, TVs, washing machines)
Liquids (paints, oils, fuels)
Hazardous waste (asbestos, batteries, chemicals)
Keeping the Skip Too Long
Delaying collection can lead to additional hire charges. Schedule collection in advance to avoid unnecessary fees.
