What can you put in our skips?

Alright, let's talk about skip etiquette—what can and can't be tossed into our metal chariots of decluttering. Throw in your garden waste, your broken chairs, and those questionable art pieces from your uni days. But hold your horses before you chuck in that old mattress or the infamous plasterboard. And asbestos? That's a definite no-go (unless you fancy wearing a hazmat suit). Sofas might make the cut, but they’re the skip equivalent of a sofa bed—awkward and bulky. It's best to check in with us first. For a full rundown, peek at our guide on what you can and can't put in a skip. Spoiler: if it explodes, leaks, or grows legs, it's probably not skip material.

Skip Permits in Oldbury

Here's the lowdown on skip permits in Oldbury: if you're placing your skip on your own land, you’re all set—no permit needed, and you can skip (pun intended) the red tape. But if your skip is destined for public land, you’ll need a skip permit. It takes a few days and a small fee, but don't worry, GoSkip handles all the paperwork with the local council. All you have to do is put the kettle on. Now, if you live in a street with controlled parking, you might need a parking suspension too. We can offer guidance, but you'll need to chat with the council about that one. For all the nitty-gritty details, take a look at our ultimate guide to skip permits.
