All our skips are deigned to get rid of awkward furniture and a large range of materials, such as wood, metal, green waste and mixed recycling.

That being said, not everything can go in a skip. Items that can’t be put in the skip, include mattresses, tyres, electricals (including TVs and computer screens), batteries, solvents, fuels, cans of paint, gas cylinders and medical waste.

How to prepare for a Mini skip?

Our skips can be delivered as soon as the very next day! You’ll just need to help by making sure there is room and clear access when our teams deliver your skip. 

Here are a few things to consider before our driver arrives.

• Leave enough space to accommodate the skip 
• Check all roads (including those surrounding your home) are wide enough to fit our skip trucks with no parking obstructions
• Our trucks need a minimum 10 metre turning circle
• Suitable ground must be available to place the skip to avoid damage

Don’t worry! If you’re not sure whether our trucks or skips will have enough room, simply contact our customer service team on 03300 535 535, or email us on sales@skoup.co.uk for a quick solution.

Need a bigger skip?

You don’t need to be exact when working out how big a skip you need. But an easy way to estimate how big your skips needs to be is based on the amount of black bin bags of rubbish you are likely to fill, or how much bulky furniture you need to fit in it, compared to the dimensions of our Mini skip detailed above.

The maximum weight is also important with all our skips, so be careful not to overfill them. In particular with soil when clearing out your garden or driveway, as the maximum weight might be exceeded.
