What can you put in our skips?

Ah, the age-old question: what can you toss into a skip? At GoSkip, we welcome your typical household items, garden waste, and those pesky construction materials that seem to multiply overnight. However, there are a few no-nos. Mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals are the skip's sworn enemies. Sofas can sometimes hop in, but be warned—they may hog all the space and leave your skip feeling a bit cramped. For the full scoop on what you can and can't put in a skip, take a peek at our guide. It’s like skip-hiring for dummies, but funnier.

Skip Permits in Hawick

Now, let's talk skip permits in Hawick. If you’re planning to plonk your skip on your own land, congrats—you’re in the clear! However, if your skip's destined for public land, you’ll need a skip permit. It takes a few days and a smidgen of cash, but fear not—GoSkip handles all the bureaucratic hoop-jumping with the local council, so you don’t have to. If your street has controlled parking, a parking suspension might also be required. We're happy to advise, but getting that sorted with the council is a task best left to you. For the nitty-gritty, check out our ultimate guide to skip permits. It’s more thrilling than it sounds, we promise!

What happens to your waste?

Ever wonder what happens to your waste after it leaves your skip? Here’s a hint: it’s not lounging on a beach in the Bahamas. The majority of waste gets sorted and recycled, embarking on a journey of reincarnation. Your old cardboard box could come back as a book, and those garden cuttings might just return as next year’s lush compost. It’s the circle of life, Hawick-style. Curious about the full process? Dive into our what happens to your waste section for the whole tale. Spoiler: it’s a recycling adventure worth reading!
