A clearer home starts with a smaller job.
The shed, the spare room, a garden tidy: start by describing what needs to go. A compact skip can be a useful option when the agreed waste fits safely inside.
- Describe the wasteTell us about timber, packaging, garden material or rubble. Declare anything unusual before loading.
- Choose a suitable spaceAllow for the delivery vehicle and the skip. A small container still arrives on a much larger vehicle.
- Agree the complete planConfirm the price, allowed load, hire period and collection arrangements before booking.
What belongs in your mini skip?

- Garden trimmings and non-hazardous vegetation
- Suitable household and renovation waste
- Declared soil, bricks and rubble, within an agreed weight limit
Keep out of an ordinary mixed load
- Asbestos, chemicals, liquid paint and oils

- Undeclared plasterboard, mattresses or upholstered seating

Describe your pile before choosing a size. Ask for the price for your postcode and waste type, then check the hire period, collection and any permit before booking.
- Postcode and accessDelivery distance and the practical approach to your property.
- Size, material and weightNominal capacity is only one part of the waste plan.
- Hire, collection and permitsCheck the included period, VAT and any separate road permission costs.
Even a mini may need a permit.
In Scotland, a skip entirely on private land does not need a road skip permit. Road placement needs the relevant authority’s permission before delivery.
- Private spaceConfirm the landowner’s permission, a suitable surface and clear vehicle access.
- Public roadAgree the application responsibility and wait for permission before the skip arrives.
- Dates and parkingCheck the hire and collection dates against the permit period. Ask about any separate parking suspension.
Your council sets the conditions.
There is no single Scottish fee or notice period. Check who applies, how long permission lasts and whether parking or traffic arrangements need separate approval.

Your skip hire questions, answered.
How much will my skip cost?
For a small clear-out, start with the pile rather than guessing a price. Call 0330 912 9966 with your postcode and compare a mini with a midi.
How long can I keep the skip?
You do not need to guess the hire period. Describe your small project when you call, agree the dates and ask what happens if your clear-out takes longer.
Can I fill it above the sides?
No. Keep everything at or below the marked fill line and within the agreed load. If the pile is larger than expected, call to discuss the next step rather than overfilling.
Will a small skip fit through a small gate?
Mini refers to the container’s capacity. Tell us about narrow gates or a shared drive because the vehicle placing your small skip still needs safe access.
