What can you put in our skips?

So, you’ve got your skip and you’re ready to toss in everything but the kitchen sink. Well, actually, the kitchen sink is fine. You can also chuck in garden waste, old furniture, and that pile of bricks that’s been sitting in the garage since who knows when. But before you go all Marie Kondo, there are a few no-no’s: asbestos, plasterboard, large electricals, and the neighbour’s cat (they tend to frown upon that). Sofas? They’re a bit of a wild card. Sometimes they fit, but it’s a bit like trying to get a square peg in a round hole. For a full list of dos and don’ts, take a peek at our handy guide here.

Skip Permits in Blackfriars

Alright, ace, let’s talk skip permits in Blackfriars. If you’re planning to park your skip on your own private land, congrats—you’re golden! No permit needed and you can call yourself the king or queen of your own little domain. But if your skip’s new home is set to be on public land, like your street, you’ll need a skip permit. This involves a little paperwork and a small fee, but fear not, GoSkip handles all the nitty-gritty with the local council, so you don’t have to lift a finger (except maybe to point where you want the skip). Oh, and if your street has that delightful London feature known as controlled parking, you might need a parking suspension too. We’re here to guide you, though this one you’ll need to hash out with the council. For the full scoop, head over to our ultimate guide to skip permits.

What happens to your waste?

You’ve thrown out your old junk, but what happens next? At GoSkip, we like to think of it as a waste reincarnation program. The vast majority of your discarded treasures are sorted and recycled, getting a second shot at life as something new—perhaps even something cool like a park bench or a part of the next futuristic skyscraper. Who knows, your old garden gnome could become a local hero! For more on this magical transformation, check out our detailed guide on what happens to waste after skip hire. It’s like a fairy tale for rubbish.
