Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you cover for skip hire?
We’re a St Albans-based skip hire company operating across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and North London, with regular service in Luton, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, and Berkhamsted.
How do I choose the right skip size?
Think about the amount of waste you need to dispose of. For example, a 2-yard skip holds around 10–20 bin bags, a 6-yard skip fits 50–60 bin bags, and a 12-yard skip can accommodate 100–120 bin bags. Call us if you’re unsure which size suits your project best.
Do I need a permit to place a skip on the road?
Yes, if you’re placing a skip on public land, a permit from your local council is required. We can assist in arranging this for you.
What items are prohibited in the skip?
Hazardous materials such as asbestos, batteries, electrical appliances (e.g., fridges, TVs), paint, and gas cylinders are not permitted.
How full can I load the skip?
For safety reasons, skips must not be overfilled. Ensure the waste is level with the top of the skip to avoid additional charges or collection refusal.
Can I move the skip once it's delivered?
Once placed, the skip should not be moved. If you need it relocated, please contact us, and we can arrange for repositioning.
