What can you put in our skips?

Alright, let’s talk about the dos and don'ts of skip filling. Think of our skips as giant, waste-eating monsters. They’re happy to gobble up your garden waste, household items, and construction materials. But try feeding them a mattress or a chunk of asbestos, and they’ll throw a fit. Sofas? Sometimes. But you might want to check first because squeezing one in is like trying to fit an elephant into a Mini Cooper - not ideal! And remember, large electricals and plasterboard are definite no-nos. For more details on what you can and can't throw in, check out our handy guide here.

Skip Permits in Highbury

Now, if you're planning to park your skip on your own land, you're golden. No fuss, no paperwork. But if public land is the only option, you'll need a skip permit. It’s a bit like getting a permission slip for a school trip – necessary and a tad annoying, but essential. It takes a few days to sort out and comes with a small charge. The good news? GoSkip will handle all the nitty-gritty paperwork with the local council, so you don’t have to break a sweat.

And here’s a heads-up: if you live on a street with controlled parking, you might need a parking suspension, too. We can point you in the right direction, but it’s something you'll need to chat about with the council. For all the ins and outs, check out our ultimate guide to skip permits.
