No one needs to be on site when the skip is delivered, however, we do ask if the drop off site is going to be unattended please can you leave clear instructions for us so our driver knows exactly where to place the skip.

Skips can be placed either on your property for example a drive way or garden, we would ask you to ensure that there is enough access for our vehicles and that the location is suitable for the skip to be placed. For example, if the skip is being filled with heavy material such as inert waste then a block paved drive or garden might not be the best location as there might be unavoidable damage upon collection of the skip due to the weight.

If the skip is going off the property we can place it on the grass verge or the highway but we will need to get permission through the means of a permit from you local council (for further information please see the council questions above).
