Everything you need to know about preparing for, loading, and returning your skip.
If you plan to place the skip on public property (like a road, pavement, or grass verge), you MUST have a skip permit from your local council. If you are placing it entirely on your own private property (like a driveway), no permit is needed.
We can sort the permit out for you through Milton Keynes or connecting councils when you book, but be aware it can take a few days to process.
For legal and environmental reasons, certain hazardous or restricted materials cannot go in a standard skip. These include:
All skips must be level-loaded. Waste cannot safely or legally exceed the top edges of the skip walls. If a skip is overloaded, our drivers may refuse to collect it or ask you to remove the excess waste for safety during transit.
Our standard hire period covers up to 14 days. If you need it for longer or shorter, just let us know when booking and we can accommodate your schedule. If you fill it early, give us a call and we'll come and grab it.
Yes! If you don't have a driveway and can't get a road permit, our driver can drop the skip, wait for up to 30-45 minutes while you load it directly, and take it straight away. It's fast, efficient, and saves on permit costs.
