What can you put in our skips?

So, you’ve got your skip and now you're wondering what treasures can make their way into its hungry maw. Normal household items, garden waste, and construction materials are all fair game. Think of it as a bottomless pit for your outdated CD collection, that suspiciously green garden waste, and those bricks leftover from your neighbour's never-ending DIY project. However, there are a few party poopers that aren’t allowed: mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals should steer clear. Sofas are a bit like that pesky relative who shows up unannounced – sometimes they’re allowed, but it’s best to check first because they might just hog all the space.

Skip Permits in Barrow-in-Furness

Thinking of parking your skip on your own driveway? Congratulations, you’re clear for take-off! However, if your skip is destined for public land, you'll need a skip permit. It’s a bit like getting a visa for your skip’s holiday in Barrow-in-Furness. This process might take a few days and involves a small fee. But fear not, GoSkip is here to handle all the paperwork with the local council, so you can continue sipping your tea in peace.

For those of you on streets with controlled parking, there might be another small hurdle—a parking suspension. While we’d love to wave a magic wand, this is something you’ll need to arrange with the council. But don’t worry, we’re more than happy to offer advice.
