Tips for Skip Hire
1. Please don't overfill the skip, because if you do, we may not be able to take it away as overfilled skips will render our drivers liable to be stopped for carrying a dangerous load. If in doubt, order a skip a size larger that you might be tempted to hire, as this may be cheaper in the end than having to have a second skip delivered, with the added cost of a wasted call-out if our driver finds that he cannot take a smaller one away because of over filling.
2. If you require us to place a skip on private property, please be sure that your driveway or wherever you need us to drive over, will take the weight of our lorries, as while we shall take every care, we can't be responsible for broken slabs etc as a result of your instructions.
Permits:
For any skip which is to be placed on the highway a skip permit is required. This is in accordance with Highways Act 1980: section 139 road traffic regulations act, 1984. Permits are obtained from your local council and this can be done on your behalf by Kirkham Skip and Recycling Ltd.
Wait and Load:
In Some cases it is not possible to obtain a permit for skips to be placed on the highway, or have limited time parking facilities. Our wait and load service could provide the perfect way to still get your waste removed.
A skip wagon will be sent to your site where it will wait while the skip container is loaded.
This service incurs extra charges compared to normal skip hire and rates vary on time required, see our Prices page for more details.
