Below is a guide to help you with hiring your skip with us for Skip Hire Nottingham.

DO...

• Tell us if the skips needs putting over a fence or wall
• Keep hazardous waste items out of the skip
• let us know about restricted access
• Give us as much information as possible to ensure we can provide the best service
• Keep the skips level filled.

     DONT...

• Overfill the skip above the sides or put boards in to build the sides up
• Light fires in the skip
• Put wet concrete in the skip
• Put any hazardous items in the skip (Full list below)

It is tempting to fill skips above the sides , it is also tempting to place boards in the sides of the skips to gain more height. This practice is unsafe for our drivers to carry the skips , therefore should our driver turn up and your skip is overfilled they will refuse to pick it up. Taking overloaded skips onto the highway is illegal and unsafe for our drivers and other road users , this also attracts a fine , so please ensure ensure that your skips are level filled with the top of the skip. If you have additional rubbish to clear then we can provide waste bags at a cost of £50. Please speak to our staff for more information.
