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.
Who handles road skip permits in Greenock?
Inverclyde Council is the local authority identified for this area. Check the linked council guidance and the exact delivery address before arranging road placement.
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.
