Things to consider:
1. Think about the size – You should ask yourself, how much waste do you need to get rid of? As a general rule of thumb, it’s always good to overestimate the size of the skip as it will never hurt to have more space to throw your rubbish out. This being said, you should be aware of the location you are storing your skip since space restrictions come into place when you think about having bigger skips on your property. Of course, public highway permits are always an option so don’t let that put you off. Keep in mind that overloading skips are illegal so always be aware of how you are throwing your waste away.
2. Think about the location. If you are living in the middle of a city, need to do work on a block of flats and you don’t have access to a driveway, then you might have to re-consider your how you use your space since you won’t be able to place your skip on private property. If your skip is on a public highway, then you will have to obtain an on-road permit from the local authorities/council. This can be arranged by Caerphilly Skips, taking a cumbersome and boring job out of your hands.

3. Understand what you can throw away. Most customers needing skip hire understand what they are allowed to discard whereas some may not know due to a lack of general knowledge. As a rule of thumb, any hazardous waste needs to be disposed of with other methods as you should only put non-hazardous waste in a skip. You also can’t put fridges, freezers, tires, TV’s, batteries or anything else that may cause a hazard. If you have any doubts or questions, then you should always a contact your local council or the team at Caerphilly Skips so that they can advise you on the best way to dispose of your waste.
