Questions

Here are some of the questions you may have about hiring a skip, hopefully our answers should be of help, of course you are free to contact us if you need to know more details.

Q: Where can I have my skip dropped?
A: You can have it dropped on your driveway, garden or building site.

Q: Do I need permission from the Council to put a skip on the road?
A: Yes. You will need a permit from the local Council but don't worry because we apply for the permit on your behalf.

Q: Are there any restrictions on what I can put into a skip?
A: Yes. You cannot use a skip to dispose of tyres, fridges, freezers, gas bottles or any form of asbestos. Most of these wastes can be disposed of by us, but prior arrangement is required – please let us know in advance of booking the skip.

Q: Are there any skip loading requirements?
A: The only requirement is that you don't overload the skip; a good rule of thumb is to level the fill with the top of the skip. Obviously, as well, you must not light any fires in a skip.

Q: What area do you cover?
A: We cover approximately a 15-mile radius of Beccles, however, exceptions can be made in certain circumstances. If you are unsure if we can come to you please give us a call to find out if we cover your area.

Q: How long can I keep the skip?
A: All our skips are put on a standard one-week hire, with a charge levied for more days where needed. The office must be contacted regards the collection of a skip.

Q: How do I book a skip?
A: Just call our friendly team on 01502 715146 or contact us.

Q: How much notice do I need to give to hire a skip?
A: Usually we can do next day delivery for most skip hire, but if any permits are needed we will need at least 2 full working days notice.

Q: What happens to my waste after it is taken away in a skip?
A: We take your waste to our recycling centre where is it sorted into separate containers and recycled with nearly 80% of any waste being re-used, which reduces as much as possible the amount of landfill waste.
