Is it ok to fill up my skip above the level load mark?

It is essential never to overfill your skip. You should not pass the level load mark indicated along the side of the skip. If your skip is overloaded, it will become very dangerous to move. Which means that if you overload the skip, you may be asked to take off the excess rubbish. However safe you think the skip to be, it cannot be collected if overloaded. This includes using doors or any other large flat pieces to build up around the waste. This is dangerous and is not allowed.

What sort of waste am I able to dispose of in a skip?

Before ordering a skip, it is essential to make sure that the type of waste you need to discard will be allowed to go in the skip. Some objects and materials have to be kept separate and are not allowed to be mixed with general waste. This is a legal requirement designed to help protect the environment.

Waste types you may put in your skip include household goods like pieces of furniture, ceramic tiles, cabinets, garden waste and clothing. You may also use a skip to throw out building and construction rubbish, including old bricks, soil, stone, metals and concrete.

Examples of forbidden items include things like electronic items, tyres, paint, chemical substances, batteries and asbestos. They are all considered hazardous waste and subsequently must be discarded separately from any general rubbish.

Do I require permission to have a skip delivered on the road in Hythe?

This depends on where the skip will be located. You will only need to have a permit when it is put on public property, like a street, pavement or grass verge. You do not need to have a permit if the skip is on your private property, such as a driveway or within your business premises.

Should you need to get a permit, we can organise this on your behalf as part of the service. Simply tell us as part of the order process, and we will make the required arrangements with the local council. They will charge a fee for the permit, so if you can locate the skip on private property, you will save some pounds.

How long am I allowed to hire the skip for?

The normal hire term will be 2 weeks from your delivery date. However, at the time you book your skip, you can choose a collection date that is perfect for you. Obviously, there is a chance that you just won’t know how long your project will take. Therefore, if the skip is loaded earlier than expected, tell us, and we will collect it at the earliest opportunity.

We can usually complete collections within 48 hours. However, it is important to remember that this may not be possible during busier periods. Once collected, the waste will be taken to a local waste transfer centre, where the waste will be processed and sorted.

This can include all electronic products including washing machines, monitors, toasters, computers and even hair straighteners.

Do all skips come with a drop down door?

If you are ordering a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will come with a drop down door. This is designed for disposing of hefty building and demolition rubbish, as it can be walked in to the skip by using a wheelbarrow.
