Essential Information
Do I need a permit?
If you’re planning to place the skip on your own private land, you won’t need a permit.
If you intend to have it situated on a road or on other public land, you’ll probably need a permit. In many cases, we can apply for the permit on your behalf, although some local authorities require that you contact them yourself to arrange one. Contact us for free advice to find out more.
What can’t I put in my skip?
Most general items can be put in your skip but there are some restrictions and it’s important to consider this before you decide to book. If you intend to put heavy materials such as soil, clay, hardcore etc. in it, then our maximum allowable size for this is the 8 yard skip.

It is not the responsibility of Northwich Skip Hire to check the ownership and rights of each individual plot of land. It is therefore essential that the hirer ensures that all permissions required before skips can lawfully be deposited on the site/highway including the council license have been or will be obtained before he directs the driver to deposit the skip. The hirer will be liable for any fines.

What size skip do I need?
Take time to consider this as there are height and weight restrictions you need to take into account. There is a “fill line” on the side of the skip to indicate the level of waste we can accept. By law, we can’t collect a skip that has been overfilled, so it’s important to choose the correct size. It will end up costing you more if you need to hire a second skip so we recommend taking a look at our sizes and prices page to help you decide.
How long can I keep the skip for?
Generally speaking, we provide you with a skip for up to 2 weeks. When you want your skip removed please contact us to arrange collection. If you think that you’ll need it for longer, please get in touch to discuss this with our team.
