Q: Where Do You Take The Waste?

All waste from our skips are tipped in a third party fully licensed waste transfer station straight from collection. Full waste transfer/ duty of care notes are given upon delivery of your skip in accordance with EA regulations

Q: Why Do You Need To Know Where My Skip Is Being Delivered?

When you order a skip off us, the reason we ask where it’s going is because if it’s being placed on the road, rather than private land/garden/driveway you need a road permit which is a set price by your local council. However, don’t panic, we organise everything for you. We fill out all the relevant paperwork, pay the fee and make sure your permit is in place before the skip is delivered. The permit cost is added on to the price of the skip and away you go!

Q: Why Do You Use Smaller Trucks?

The reason we use the smaller trucks is because they enable us to deliver skips to places where a larger skip truck would struggle, or not be able to get access to at all. So whether it’s a narrow driveway, a cobbled lane, inside a commercial property with height restricted roller shutter access, an alleyway or simply a tight street, our drivers will get in there!

Q: What's The Acceptable Load Amount?

We understand that there may be that extra couple of boxes, or them extra bits of carpet and that’s fine. Please note however, we cannot move overloaded skips that are above the height of the skip itself, as this is unsafe to transport.
