Plan the waste around your site.
For maintenance and modest refurbishments, check whether a mini or midi suits the declared waste. Tell us about shared access and the hours when a vehicle can reach the site.
- Separate the waste streamsIdentify timber, metals, mixed construction waste and any restricted material. Do not assume one mixed skip can take everything.
- Brief the delivery pointGive the site contact, access restrictions, loading space and any agreed delivery window.
- Agree exchanges and paperworkAsk whether exchanges can be arranged, what notice is required and which waste documentation will be supplied.
Mini or midi? Make the space count.
A little extra capacity can matter. Compare the project first, then confirm the allowed load.

Know what can go in your skip.
These are starting points for the booking conversation. The operator must approve your exact waste and load.
Usually worth discussing
- Timber, cardboard and suitable packaging
- Garden trimmings and non-hazardous vegetation
- 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
Make room for the delivery lorry.
Choosing a small skip does not solve a difficult approach. Describe the gate, ground and turning space first so the delivery and later collection can be considered together.
- Width and heightMeasure gates and note overhanging branches, cables and low entrances.
- Surface and turningExplain slopes, soft ground, covers and any tight turn. Ask about suitable surface protection.
- The return journeyKeep the approach open for collection and do not move the skip yourself.
From first call to clear space.
Start with the pile
Describe the waste and the amount. A small heavy load needs a different plan from light clutter.
Make room for delivery
Agree your size and price, then check vehicle access, placement and any council permission.
Finish with collection
Fill within the agreed limits and follow the collection arrangement. Keep access clear for the return visit.

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.
