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:

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.

Solid Ground
Ensure that the ground is stable enough to support the weight of the skip. Protect any drives or grassed areas from potential damage.

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.

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.

Overloaded Skips
All skips must be level loaded, it is illegal to transport an overloaded skip. If the skip is overloaded you will need to remove some of the waste before transportation.
Additional Charges
Additional charges may apply for permit fees, wasted journey, additional tonnage, prohibited items, and extended rental time. Contact us for more information.

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.
Certain items, such as fridges, freezers, sofas, upholstered furniture, mattresses, tyres, tracks, gas bottles and hazardous materials such as contaminated soil, asbestos and cement board, cannot be disposed of in skips and may incur additional charges. Please contact our team if you’re unsure about items that you’re adding to the skip.
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.
