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.
