All skips, by law, require a road permit – excluding private roads. Our specialists can help you determine whether you require a road permit for your skip, as well as applying for the permit on your behalf – we do ask for permit payments to be paid in advance.

It will take Highways England up to five working days to approve your skip for the road. Once approved, the permit will last for fourteen days – an extension can be applied for, as long as three days notice is given prior to the end of the fourteen day period.

Should the skip be placed in a parking bay, additional permission and payment may be required from the hirer.

Our skip hire periods last for 2 weeks, but if you finish before, simply call us and we will collect. Should you require the skip for longer than 2 weeks, please notify our team at the time of booking.

Our delivery service normally runs as a next day service. With a little notice, we are also able to supply our clients on Saturdays, and customers can also book in advance.

Our skips are able to contain a wide variety of mixed waste items, however, we are unable to collect certain materials without prior arrangement or notice. These include: asbestos, gas cylinders, tyres, tree roots, batteries, mattresses, fridges, freezers, paints, liquids, and chemicals.
