What can you put in our skips?

Ah, the age-old question: "Can I put this in the skip?" Think of skips as the magic boxes where most of your unwanted stuff goes to disappear, but with a few exceptions. Regular household items, garden waste, and construction materials? Toss 'em in! However, some items are the skip-equivalent of party crashers—mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals need to find another home. Sofas are like the awkwardly large uncle at Christmas dinner—sometimes they fit, sometimes they don’t, so check with us first! For a more detailed list of skip-appropriate items, visit our what you can and can't put in a skip page. Keep things simple and skippy!

Skip Permits in Kingston upon Thames

Here's a little nugget of wisdom: if you're planning to pop your skip on your own property, you’re all set—no permits needed, just a thumbs up from your cat. But if you’re eyeing that perfect spot on public land, you’ll need a skip permit in Kingston upon Thames. It takes a few days to process and carries a minor charge, but don’t worry, GoSkip is on it! We handle all the necessary paperwork with the local council, so you can focus on more important things, like deciding if you really need to keep that lava lamp from 1973.

Oh, and if you’re in a street with controlled parking (yes, we see you, residential permits), a parking suspension might be required too. We can advise on this, but you’ll need to liaise with the council directly. For all the nitty-gritty details, visit our ultimate guide to skip permits.

What happens to your waste?

Ever wondered what happens to your waste after it leaves your sight? Well, it's not just a one-way trip to landfill oblivion. Most of it gets sorted and recycled, giving it a new lease of life. Picture this: the garden waste from your skip could be reincarnated as a lush compost that helps grow award-winning roses in the borough. It’s like a waste rebirth!
