What can you put in our skips?

So, you've got a skip sitting there, ready to be filled with all the stuff you swear you’ll never need again. But what should you actually put in it? Household items, garden waste, and construction materials are all fair game. Imagine your skip as a hungry, waste-eating monster that particularly enjoys old wood and grass clippings. However, it’s a bit fussy about certain things. Mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals are a no-go. Sofas? Well, they can sometimes go in, but you might want to check first—it's a bit like trying to fit an elephant in a Mini. For a comprehensive list of dos and don'ts, have a gander at our what you can and can't put in a skip guide. Happy skipping!

Skip Permits in Chorlton-on-Medlock

Ah, the age-old question: where to put your skip? If it's on your own land, congratulations! You’ve won the skip-placement lottery and no permit is needed. But, if your skip needs to grace public land, a permit will be required. This can take a few days to arrange and involves a small fee. The good news? GoSkip handles all the paperwork with the local council, saving you from the bureaucratic swamp.

Oh, and if you live on a street with controlled parking, you might need a parking suspension too. We can certainly advise you on this, but ultimately, it’s a conversation you’ll need to have with the council. Check out our ultimate guide to skip permits for all the nitty-gritty details.

What happens to your waste?

Ever wondered what happens to your waste after it leaves in a skip? Well, it’s not just carted off to some mysterious landfill in the middle of nowhere. No, in Chorlton-on-Medlock, your rubbish could be reincarnated as something quite useful. The vast majority of waste is sorted and recycled, potentially coming back to life as a park bench or even part of that stylish new cafe you frequent.
