FAQs
4 yard skip questions.
Will a 4 yard skip fit on my driveway?
Yes, in almost all cases. It needs roughly the footprint of a small car.
Do I need a permit?
Only if the skip is going on a public road. On private land, no permit is needed.
How long can I keep it?
Standard hire is up to 14 days. Longer hires can be arranged on request.
Can I fill it with soil?
Yes, but heavy materials like soil and rubble should sit no higher than the rim, and not above 2 tonnes total.
What if I need it longer?
Just let us know. We’ll extend the hire for a small additional fee.
