Leicester Skips Direct: Skip Rules And Regulations

If you're based locally and considering hiring a skip

, Leicester Skips Direct offers skip hire in Loughborough. When hiring a skip, it is advisable to remind yourself of the various rules and regulations surrounding skip hire. Firstly, make sure the waste you wish to remove from your premises will be legal to dump in a skip. Allowable contents include:

Soil and most garden waste, timber, construction/demolition waste, household waste

Things which may not be disposed of via a dumpster are as follows:

Varying household utilities and appliances such as fridge-freezers, liquids, waste containing asbestos

If you find an object which seems to fit both the allowable and non allowable categories by description, it is most likely a non-allowable object. Placing illegal waste in a dumpster can have serious consequences including but not limited to a fine, so please - think before you dump!

If you require the ability to place the skip you are hiring on the roadside (your lawn or driveway are insufficient) then you will need a permit to do so from your local council. Since the many different local authorities have slightly differing skip permit application regulations and expiry dates upon their skip permits, it's best to get in touch with your local authority. This will ensure that your skip doesn't end up accidentally outstaying its welcome (landing you with a fine).

If you are placing a skip on the roadside, there are a few things to be aware of. You must use traffic cones (reflective or lit) to guide traffic past the skip on the approach side. It is required that the supplier or owner of the skip prints their telephone or business contact details clearly on the side of the skip so that they may be contacted in the event of an emergency which requires the immediate removal of the skip. Leicester Skips Direct always make skips clearly visible with printed contact details, providing some of the safest skip hire Loughborough has available.

As a final note, all material placed in skips must be legally disposed of. It is more common than you might think for drivers of unscrupulous skip hire companies to dump the skip-waste on a roadside somewhere to save money. This could land everyone involved with a hefty fine. Leicester Skips Direct never dispose of waste in an underhanded manner.
