Give your next project some breathing room.
A small skip is a starting point for suitable waste from a modest project. Tell us about awkward items, soil and rubble early so the size and weight can be checked together.
- Describe the wasteTell us about timber, packaging, garden material or rubble. Declare anything unusual before loading.
- Choose a suitable spaceAllow for the delivery vehicle and the skip. A small container still arrives on a much larger vehicle.
- Agree the complete planConfirm the price, allowed load, hire period and collection arrangements before booking.
Know what you are arranging.
Your postcode, waste and length of hire shape the price. Check delivery, collection, VAT and any road permit separately so the booking matches the project.
- Postcode and accessDelivery distance and the practical approach to your property.
- Size, material and weightNominal capacity is only one part of the waste plan.
- Hire, collection and permitsCheck the included period, VAT and any separate road permission costs.
A small skip still needs the right permission.
In Scotland, a skip entirely on private land does not need a road skip permit. Road placement needs the relevant authority’s permission before delivery.
- Private spaceConfirm the landowner’s permission, a suitable surface and clear vehicle access.
- Public roadAgree the application responsibility and wait for permission before the skip arrives.
- Dates and parkingCheck the hire and collection dates against the permit period. Ask about any separate parking suspension.
Your council sets the conditions.
There is no single Scottish fee or notice period. Check who applies, how long permission lasts and whether parking or traffic arrangements need separate approval.
Find your town and council ↗Know what can go in your skip.
These are starting points for the booking conversation. The operator must approve your exact waste and load.

- Suitable household and renovation waste
- Declared soil, bricks and rubble, within an agreed weight limit
Keep out of an ordinary mixed load
- Asbestos, chemicals, liquid paint and oils
- Gas bottles, batteries and electrical appliances
- Tyres and other items needing specialist arrangements
- Undeclared plasterboard, mattresses or upholstered seating

Your skip hire questions, answered.
How much will my skip cost?
Call 0330 912 9966 to check the cost of the compact option you need. Mention road placement early and ask what delivery, hire and collection include.
How long can I keep the skip?
Plan the collection date alongside delivery. If circumstances change, call before the agreed date and before any road permission expires to discuss the available options.
Can I fill it above the sides?
No. Keep everything at or below the marked fill line and within the agreed load. If the pile is larger than expected, call to discuss the next step rather than overfilling.
Will a small skip fit through a small gate?
Walk the proposed delivery route before calling. Measure the narrowest opening and mention slopes, overhangs or fragile surfaces; the driver must be able to place and recover the skip.
