Lancashire skip hire FAQs

Got questions about our skip hire services in Lancashire? Here are some of our most common ones below.

What is the most popular skip size?

The most popular skip size in the UK is the 8-yard skip, often called a builder’s skip. It’s perfect for household clearouts, garden waste, and small renovations, holding around 50-60 bin bags of waste.

Can you put anything in a hired skip?

No, not everything can go in a hired skip. You can throw away general household waste, wood, furniture, garden debris, and metal. You cannot include fridges, asbestos, tyres, paint, or other hazardous chemicals. We include a full list of prohibited items before you make the booking.

Do you pay for skip hire upfront?

Yes, we require upfront payment to secure your booking. This includes the skip itself, delivery, collection, and any permits if needed.

Can you put a mattress in a skip?

Yes, you can put a mattress in a skip, but we charge a small additional fee for bulky items like mattresses due to their recycling requirements. Just make sure to check the correct box when making your booking.

Do I need to be home when a skip is delivered?

No, you don’t need to be home for skip delivery. As long as there’s clear access and instructions for where the skip should be placed. Make sure the spot is flat, accessible, and doesn’t block traffic or footpaths. Once your skip has been sited, please don’t move the skip as this may cause access issues picking the skip up when this has been filled.

What’s the smallest skip I can get?

The smallest skip you can get is a 2-yard mini skip, which holds around 20-25 bin bags. They’re great for small garden jobs, minor DIY waste, or when you’re short on space.

What size skip do I need for a kitchen?

For most kitchen renovations, an 8-yard skip is usually the right size. It’s big enough for old cabinets, worktops, and general renovation debris, without taking up too much driveway or public road space.
