Skip placement
Skip permits
If you are placing your skip on the public highway you will need a skip permit. Skip permits are issued by your local council and it can vary a lot from area to area.
In most areas we will provide the skip permit for you and we will simply pass on the additional cost.
As skip permits expire we must ensure your skip has been removed by this date, which means if you haven’t requested collection your skip may have to be taken, regardless of whether you have finished using it (it is a legal requirement to have a valid skip permit).
If you plan to place your skip on the road you may need to contact us to get the most up to date pricing.

Filling a skip
Filling a skip is a fairly easy task for most people - the challenge is filling it properly and efficiently.
We recommend breaking items down to minimise the volume and placing the waste in the skip in an efficient manner. If you just ‘chuck’ items in the skip there’s likely going to be a lot of gaps which you may not be able to utilise.
