Secondly, be sure to know what’s going to happen when you have the skip delivered. Check the driveway or public space for obstructions and has the correct space for the delivery to be successful. A small amount of research can prevent a number of accidents.
- Delivery
When we deliver our skips your area needs to be accessible for our trucks. There should be a 3-meter clearance distance surrounding the skip once it has been sat down and the truck driver should be able to reverse the skip without being at an angle. Please don’t try to move the skip yourself as they are incredibly heavy and can cause serious injuries.

Once your skip has been delivered, you can then start filling it with your unwanted waste. We provide all customers with a waste restrictions guide on our website. This shows you which items shouldn’t be put into your skip as they can be potential dangers.
