Before the skip is delivered, make sure that you have ample room to place it. Confirm that there are no wires anywhere near where the skip will be placed. Check that there are no obstacles in the area where you want to place the 12 yd skip, and if there’s not enough space in your home, get a permit to put it on the side of the road.

When you hire a skip, put the heavy stuff at the bottom and the light stuff on top. If you forget to put it in there, don’t worry—the driver will load it for you. Make sure that you don’t fill up the skip too much though, or else the driver won’t be able to take it away and you’ll have to pay more money. It’s also illegal to dump your waste onto the roads or into rivers. If it does happen accidentally, try not to worry about getting into trouble with the police.
What can you throw away in a skip?
When hiring a skip, be sure to sort your rubbish into different categories, such as paper and cardboard, metal, glass, and plastic. Recycling centres will recycle these different types of waste material in different ways. For example, glass will be melted into new bottles, while paper will be turned into new paper products. Depending on the amount of rubbish you need to get rid of, you may need a skip bin. If you do, it’s important to observe safety measures when using one. For instance, make sure there is enough space where you can place the bin in your yard.
