    How much waste should I put in the skip?

    Skips should not be filled above the sides of the skips – overloaded skips are dangerous as waste material may fall out and can make lifting and transporting the skip impossible.

    You will need to apply to your local authority for a road license. We can apply for the permit on your behalf if required.
