 1) How long can I keep a skip for ? 21 days is the normal hire period, however we won't collect the skip without informing you first.
2) How much notice do I need to give before delivery or exchange of a skip ? 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.
3) What type of materials can I put in my skip ? 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.
4) Do I have to keep materials seperate or can I put everything in one skip ? All our skips come back to our Waste Transfer Station for segregation and recycling, feel free to mix the waste.
5) Can the skip drivers position a skip over my wall ? 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.
