The Customer is responsible for ensuring the skip size ordered is suitable for the intended waste. All permits required for placing skips on public highways are the responsibility of the Customer unless otherwise agreed in writing that Leo's Skip Hire will secure the permit from the relevant council on the Customer's behalf.
Skips must be level loaded so that no waste protrudes above the height of the skip sides. Our drivers reserve the right to refuse collection of overloaded skips, or to ask the Customer to remove excess waste for safety during transit.
The Customer must not place any hazardous, toxic, or regulated waste in general skips. This includes, but is not limited to: asbestos, batteries, clinical waste, electrical appliances (WEEE), fluorescent tubes, fridges, freezers, gas canisters, liquids, oil, paint, solvents, plasterboard (unless in a dedicated plasterboard skip), and tyres. A surcharge will be applied if these items are found, or the skip may be returned to the Customer.
The standard hire period is up to 14 days unless otherwise agreed. We reserve the right to collect the skip without notice at any point after the 14-day period has expired.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring safe and adequate access for our delivery vehicles. We are not liable for any damage to manhole covers, driveways, or other surfaces where the delivery driver has been directed by the Customer to place the skip.
