Describe the waste and the amount. A small heavy load needs a different plan from light clutter.

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.

Get a price · 0330 912 9966A 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.

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.
