What can you put in our skips?

Ah, the age-old question: "What can I chuck in this big metal box?" The answer is, surprisingly, quite a lot! Household items, garden waste, and construction materials are all fair game. No one will bat an eye if you toss in that old wallpaper or those hedge clippings. But before you start playing Tetris with your trash, remember: some items are a no-go. Mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals are the party poopers of the skip world. Sofas? Well, they’re like that friend who sometimes gets invited but often doesn’t fit in the car. Want to know more about what you can and can't put in a skip? We've got all the deets here.

Skip Permits in Houghton

Ah, skip permits, the unsung heroes of the skip hire process. If you're planning to park your skip on your own land, you're as golden as a Houghton sunset. But if your skip needs to grace public land, a permit is in order. This little document takes a few days to sort and comes with a small fee, but don’t worry—GoSkip is on it. We handle the paperwork with Houghton’s local council, so you can focus on more important things, like deciding whether to keep that lava lamp. Oh, and if you're in an area with controlled parking, you might need a parking suspension. We can advise, but it’s your call with the council. Dive into our ultimate guide to skip permits for all you need to know.

What happens to your waste?

We’ve got the full scoop here. At GoSkip, we like to think of it as waste with a happy ending.
