Where to Place a Skip?
Private land is normally the simplest place for a skip, provided the surface is suitable and the delivery vehicle can reach it safely.
Need to place the skip on a public road? Contact our support team first so we can confirm the permit requirements and current council costs. We can then arrange the application and paperwork for you.
- Placement area: Use firm, level ground with enough room for the selected skip.
- Vehicle access: Keep the entrance and approach clear for delivery and collection.
- Overhead route: Check for low branches, cables, scaffolding and other obstructions.
- Driveway or Private Yard: A suitable driveway, private yard or firm hardstanding is normally the simplest placement option.
- Entrance and Approach: The delivery vehicle must be able to enter, position the skip and leave safely.
- Turning Space: Check narrow roads, tight corners, gates and restricted reversing space.
- Parked Vehicles: Keep the approach and placement area clear on delivery and collection days.
- Overhead Obstructions: Allow clear space around branches, cables, scaffolding and structures.
- Surface Condition: Avoid soft ground, weak surfaces and newly laid or decorative paving where possible.
- Drains and Property: Do not position the skip over fragile drains, inspection covers or close to walls and gates.
- Collection Access: Keep the same safe route clear so the supplier can collect the loaded skip safely.
HIRE PERIOD & COLLECTION
Skip Hire Period, Extensions and Collection
Standard skip hire includes up to 14 days. You can request an earlier collection if you finish sooner, or extend your hire if you need more time.

Early collection
Need More Time?
You can extend your hire for £30 per additional day. Contact us before your current hire period ends so we can arrange the extension.
Ready for Collection
Keep the waste level with the top of the skip and leave the access route clear. This helps the collection vehicle reach and remove the skip safely.
Need an Early Collection or Skip Exchange?
If your skip fills earlier than expected or you need another skip for the project, contact our team. We can arrange collection or the next skip, subject to availability.
