What can you put in our skips?

Let’s talk rubbish—literally! When it comes to filling your skip, everyday household items, garden waste, and construction materials are all fair game. Think of it as a decluttering spree without the guilt. However, there are some party poopers to keep out. Mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals are a no-go. And while you might occasionally fit a sofa in there, it’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole—possible, but not the best idea. For the full scoop on what’s allowed and what’s not, check out our handy guide here.

Skip Permits in Overthorpe

So you’ve decided to place a skip on your very own patch of Overthorpe—congratulations, you’re in the clear! However, if you need to park it on public land, you’ll need a skip permit. Picture it like a VIP pass for your skip. It takes a few days to arrange and comes with a small fee. But hey, no worries—GoSkip will handle all the red tape with the local council, so you can focus on more important things, like debating which takeaway to order for dinner.

If your street is one of those with controlled parking zones, you might need a parking suspension too. While we can lend our expertise, you'll need to sort this bit directly with the council. For the full permit playbook, have a look at our ultimate guide.
