Preparing For The Arrival Of Your Skip

When you choose Morley Skips for your skip hire needs, we strive to make our delivery and removal service as simple and straightforward as possible. To ensure a smooth end-to-end process, it's important to prepare the site properly. Here's what you need to know ahead of time:

Image of Morley Skips vehicle in driveway - residential skip hire
Access
Ensure that gates are left unlocked to allow our team access for your skip delivery. If you don’t have driveway access, make sure there is enough room for our lorries to safely deliver your skip. Our 8-tonne lorries require at least 2.9m width to manoeuvre. Please remove any vehicles obstructing the site access or drop area. It is also usually best to inform neighbours ahead of time, in case their access is restricted.

Overhead Cables & Trees
Overhead cables and trees can limit our access. Please inform us of any obstructions prior to delivery to avoid any issues.

Narrow Roads/Bridges

Solid Ground

Manholes/Drains

Prohibited Items

Certain items incur additional costs due to legislation and recycling laws. These include: fridges/freezers, sofas, paint pots, tires, mattresses, gas bottles and oil drums. Please notify us in advance if you need to dispose of these items. Also, if waste has been illegally fly-tipped on your land, and you are unsure whether it is prohibited or not, please get in touch.

Heavy Waste
If you're disposing of heavy waste such as soil and rubble, ensure you book a suitable skip size (2 to 8 yards). Larger skips (10, 12, and 14 yards) are unsuitable for heavy waste disposal.

FAQs

At Morley Skips, we offer a skip exchange service, subject to availability. Contact our office for help arranging a swap. Please note that extra skips will be charged at an additional cost.
In most cases this is allowed, but local councils will require you to have a permit. The largest skip you can have on a road is a 6 yard skip, and you will need to give us approximately 1 weeks’ notice prior to delivery that you require a permit. Our helpful team can help you organise a none refundable permit for a small fee. We will also supply lights and cones at no additional cost.

Please note: if you have a parking space, the council will not permit a skip on a road and will insist that the skip is placed on your parking space or drive.
