Most of our residential customers require a skip for approximately 2 weeks. This time period can be negotiated to suit your needs when ordering your skip. If you have a permit you must remember to adhere to its regulations. We also offer a wait and load service in which we arrive with your skip to be filled immediately and once it’s loaded we take it away directly (this service does not require a permit).
How much can I fill the skip?
You can fill the skip up to the markings on the side so that it reaches a level load. We just want to ensure the skip is safe for transportation along public highways.
