What Our Customers Say

Tom Pinder
Recommends ISM Waste & Recycling

"ISM were outstanding on our latest building clearance. We have used loads of waste and recycling companies up and down the country for building clearances, but we have never come across a company so accommodating and with such a high level of service within this industry until now."

Skip Hire FAQs

A standard skip is an open-top container used for general waste removal, typically delivered and collected by a skip lorry.

They are commonly used for domestic projects, construction work, and general commercial waste.

Standard skips are available in a range of sizes to suit different projects, including:

  • Small skips for light domestic use
  • Builders skips for renovation and construction
  • Larger skips for bulky or high-volume waste

We can help you choose the right size based on your requirements.

Most general and non-hazardous waste can go in a skip, including:

  • Household waste
  • Garden waste
  • Construction and DIY materials
  • Furniture and bulky items

Hazardous materials and certain restricted items cannot be disposed of in standard skips.

Items that are typically not allowed in skips include:

  • Asbestos
  • Electrical appliances (WEEE)
  • Tyres
  • Paints, solvents, and chemicals
  • Gas cylinders

If you’re unsure, we can advise on safe and compliant disposal options.

Skip hire periods typically range from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on your needs.

We can offer flexible hire durations and arrange collections at a time that suits you.

If the skip is placed on a public road or highway, a permit is usually required from the local council.

If the skip is placed on private land, such as a driveway, a permit is not needed.

Skips can be placed on driveways, private land, or permitted roadside locations.

We’ll help ensure safe and compliant placement based on your site and access.

The right skip size depends on the type and volume of waste you need to dispose of.

If you’re unsure, it’s usually better to choose a slightly larger skip to avoid overfilling or needing a second collection.
