What can you put in our skips?

Right, let's have a little chat about skip etiquette. Picture your skip as a very accommodating friend who’s fine with you dumping your old kitchen tiles, garden clippings, and those mysterious boxes from the loft. However, even the best of friends have their boundaries. So, while your skip will gladly take normal household items and construction materials, it's not too keen on mattresses, asbestos, or plasterboard. And as for that old sofa? Well, you might want to check first, as it's a bit like trying to fit a giraffe into a Mini Cooper. For the full rundown, head over to our what you can and can't put in a skip guide.

Skip Permits in Shildon

Let’s dive into the world of skip permits in Shildon. If you plan to park your skip on your own land, you're golden. It's like having a VIP pass to your own rubbish concert. But if your skip needs to live on public land, a permit is required. Think of it as a backstage pass that takes a few days to arrange, along with a small fee. The good news? GoSkip handles all the necessary paperwork with the local council, so you can sit back and relax. Now, if your street has controlled parking, you might also need a parking suspension. While we can't wave a magic wand, we can certainly advise you. For all the nitty-gritty details, hop over to our ultimate guide to skip permits.
