What can you put in our skips?

So, you've got your skip and you're ready to toss in everything but the kitchen sink. Wait—actually, the kitchen sink is fine. You can fill our skips with garden waste, construction materials, and your most regrettable purchases from that infamous car boot sale. However, before you chuck in Great Aunt Edna's antique sofa, remember it's not always the best fit and might need a bit of extra checking. Now, on to the forbidden fruits: mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electrical items must stay far away. Want the full lowdown?

Skip Permits in Cockermouth

If you're planning to park your skip on your own driveway, kudos! You're free as a Cumbrian breeze. But if your skip needs to sit on the public road, you'll need a skip permit in Cockermouth. It takes a few days to sort, and there's a small fee involved. No need to fret, though—GoSkip is on it, handling all the nitty-gritty paperwork with the local council so you can focus on more important things, like deciding what to chuck out next.

For those living on streets with controlled parking, a parking suspension might be on the cards. While we're happy to advise, this is something you'll need to sort with the council. For all the nitty-gritty details, hop over to our ultimate guide to skip permits.

What happens to your waste?
