Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much can I actually fit in a 4 Tonne Midi Skip?
A 4 Tonne Midi Skip is roughly equivalent to 4 cubic yards. In practical terms, it holds 30 – 40 standard black bin bags. It is the ideal size for a complete bathroom rip-out or a medium-sized kitchen renovation.
Will a 4 Tonne Midi Skip fit on my driveway?
Yes. The 4 Tonne Midi Skip is popular because of its compact footprint (approx. 6ft long x 4.3ft wide). It fits comfortably on most standard UK driveways, which also saves you the cost of a local council roadside permit.
Can I put heavy waste like soil or rubble in a Midi Skip?
Yes, the 4 Tonne Midi Skip is designed for heavy, inert waste such as soil, clay, bricks, and concrete. Unlike larger Skips (12+ yards) which have weight restrictions for heavy materials, the Midi Skip can be filled to the brim with hardcore.
Do I need a permit if the Skip is on the road?
If you cannot fit the Skip on your private property, you will need a Council Street Permit. We can handle the entire application process for you with the local authorities in Southport, Ormskirk, or Skelmersdale to ensure you are fully compliant.
What items are prohibited from being placed in the Skip?
For safety and environmental reasons, we cannot accept hazardous materials. This includes asbestos, tyres, fridges/freezers, paint cans, gas cylinders, and mattresses. Please contact us if you need to dispose of these items specifically.
How long can I keep the Skip for?
Our standard hire period is typically up to 14 days. If your project is running behind or you finish early, just give us a call and we can arrange a flexible collection date to suit your schedule.
What happens to my waste once it’s collected?
We are a Licensed Waste Carrier with our own dedicated recycling centre. We aim to recycle over 90% of the waste we collect, diverting as much as possible away from landfills to support a more sustainable environment in the Northwest.
How can I pay for my Skip hire?
We offer several convenient ways to pay. Most customers prefer to pay by credit or debit card over the phone at the time of booking. We also accept online payments via our secure portal or cash to the driver upon delivery.
