What can you put in our skips?

Okay, so you’ve got your skip, and you’re ready to throw stuff in like you’re doing a skip-themed version of Tetris. But before you get too enthusiastic, let’s run through what’s allowed. Feel free to toss in normal household items, garden waste, and construction materials—basically, anything you could wave goodbye to without sentimental attachment. But wait! Avoid throwing in mattresses, asbestos (because we all know nothing ruins a skip's day like asbestos), plasterboard, and large electricals. Sofas, you ask? They're the wildcard; sometimes they can go in, but you might want to check first (mostly because they hog all the space). Need a full list? We've got you covered here. Happy skipping!

Skip Permits in Albany

Here's the deal with skip permits in Albany: if you're planning to park your skip on your own property, you're in the clear, no paperwork needed. It’s like a VIP pass to skip land. However, if you’re eyeing a spot on that lovely public road, you'll need a skip permit. This may take a few days to arrange and comes with a small fee, but don’t worry—GoSkip handles all the nitty-gritty paperwork with the local council, so you don’t have to lift a finger (except maybe to point to where you want the skip placed). If your street boasts controlled parking, a parking suspension might be another item on your to-do list, but we can offer advice. For the full scoop, check out our Ultimate Guide to Skip Permits.

What happens to your waste?

Ever wondered what happens to your waste after it leaves your curb? At GoSkip, we like to think your old magazines and that avocado-green toilet from the '70s might just have a Cinderella story awaiting them. The vast majority of waste is sorted and recycled, sparking new life as something utterly fabulous. Maybe your garden waste will become part of a new eco-friendly park bench, or your old kitchen tiles could end up in a trendy Albany café.
