What can you put in our skips?

Time to play the game of “can it go in the skip?” Spoiler alert: the answer is usually yes, but with a few cheeky exceptions. Household items, garden waste, and construction materials—those are all fair game. But if you’re eyeing that old mattress, asbestos, or a giant fridge, you might want to reconsider. Sofas? Occasionally! But like squeezing into your favourite jeans after the holidays, it’s not always a snug fit. For a full list of do’s and don’ts, take a peek at our guide. We promise it’s easier than understanding the plot of a soap opera.

Skip Permits in Douglas

Ah, the joy of permits! If your skip is staying on your own property, you’re as free as a seagull over the Solway Firth. But should you need to park it on public land, a skip permit is your golden ticket. It might take a few days to sort out and yes, there’s a small charge, but fear not—GoSkip is here to handle all the intricate paperwork with the local council, sparing you the bureaucratic headache. For those streets with controlled parking, a parking suspension might be needed. While we can offer some sage advice, you’ll need to chat with the council about that one. For the nitty-gritty details, check out our ultimate guide to skip permits.
