Where can you park a skip?

We will deliver the skip to your chosen location. Ie. driveway, garden, building site or privately-owned land. However, please be aware that if you require the skip to be placed in a publicly owned area such as the roadside, you will require a permit, which will incur an additional cost.

The only requirement is that you don’t overload the skip. The skips can be level loaded only.
