No. If payment is taken via card, our trained drivers can undertake delivery and collection without you being present.

🚛 Permits & Delivery

Why would I need a permit?

It is illegal to place a skip on a public highway (road) without permission from your local council. We can arrange this permit for you.

How much does a permit cost?

Costs vary by council, but generally range between £30 and £50 for a standard permit.

Can I have same day delivery?

While not always guaranteed, we do our best! The earlier in the day you call, the better the chances of a same-day service.

Will the skip damage my drive?

Due to the weight (up to 16 tonnes) and stabilisers, damage is possible. Our drivers are trained to minimise risk, but please mention concerns when booking.

Electricals (TVs/Fridges)

How high can I fill the skip?

By law (Highways Act 1980), skips must be level loaded. Use of boards to build up the sides is prohibited. Dangerous or overflowing items will be removed by our staff.

What happens to the waste?

Waste is taken to a licensed facility to be sorted and processed. We aim to maximise recycling and minimise landfill impact.
