What can you put in our skips?

So, you’ve got a skip sitting pretty in your driveway, but what can you actually toss in there? Picture this: your old toaster, a mountain of garden clippings, or even that pile of bricks leftover from your DIY project. All good! But before you start loading, let's play a quick game of "Can I Chuck This?" Spoiler: mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and oversized electricals are a no-go. The jury's out on sofas; they can fit, but it's like trying to squish a marshmallow into a coin purse. For a full list of what makes the cut (or doesn’t), check out our handy guide on what you can and can't put in a skip.

Skip Permits in St. Bees

Planning to park your skip on your own land? Congratulations, you’ve avoided the permit labyrinth. However, if your skip needs to mingle with the public on the road, a skip permit in St. Bees is your golden ticket. It takes a few days to arrange and comes with a small fee—think of it as a cover charge for your skip's Big Night Out. Don’t fret about the paperwork; GoSkip will navigate the red tape with the local council on your behalf. Now, if your street has that pesky controlled parking, a parking suspension might also be in order. While we can offer sage advice, you'll need to chat with the council about this one.
