Green waste goes for composting or mulching. Usable soil is screened and reused, helping to reduce landfill waste.
No permit is required if the skip is placed fully on private land (driveway or garden). If the skip goes on a public road/pavement, a council permit is required. Permits usually take 3–5 working days to process, last 7–14 days, and typically cost between £55 and £110, depending on the local council. Book early if you plan to place it on the street.
Checkout note: When you select ‘Public Highway’ during booking, we’ll arrange the permit and automatically add the permit fee to your final total.
Garden Skip Sizes
We supply 4 yard to 8 yard skips for domestic garden work. If you’re removing heavy soil, hardcore, or undertaking major landscaping, we can also arrange grab hire or larger roll-on, roll-off (RoRo) containers. This can be cheaper and safer than overloading a builder’s skip. Ask us if you’re unsure. Explore our comprehensive range of skip sizes.

If it can’t be disposed of on site, it must be taken to a suitably permitted facility (landfill or incineration) and handled correctly to prevent spreading.
Access matters. Please tell us about low trees, narrow lanes, controlled parking zones, or resident-only bays. We’ll plan the right vehicle and arrange bay suspension where required.
We’ll also send loading rules by email so you avoid overweight or contamination charges:
If your load is mostly non-organic or mixed waste, choose a mixed waste skip instead.

Usually not, as long as access is clear and you leave clear placement instructions. For controlled parking zones, we may call to confirm.
Wet soil, turf and green waste can become very heavy. Choose a smaller size or split the load to avoid overweight charges.
No. Treated/painted timber is a different waste stream and should go in a mixed waste skip instead.
Small stumps are usually fine if they’re not soil-heavy. Large stumps can be too heavy; send us a photo and we’ll advise the best option.
Yes, loose or bagged green waste is fine. Avoid plastic bags if possible because they slow down processing at composting sites.
