What can you put in our skips?

So, what treasures can you toss into our skips? Picture this: if it's a normal household item, garden waste, or construction material, it's a thumbs up from us. But, alas, not everything is skip-friendly. Mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals are best left out of the mix. Sofas are a bit like that one friend who always says they might come to the party—sometimes they fit, sometimes they just don't. It's usually best to check with us first! For a deeper dive into what can and can't go into a skip, explore our guide. Remember, skips are not bottomless pits, but they are pretty accommodating.

Skip Permits in Penicuik

Here's the lowdown on skip permits in Penicuik: if you're planning to park your skip on your own turf, you're golden—no paperwork needed. But if public land is your only option, a skip permit is your ticket to ride. It’s like needing a passport for your skip’s little Penicuik adventure, and it might take a few days to sort out, along with a small fee. Fret not, though, because GoSkip handles all the necessary paperwork with the local council, so you can focus on more exciting things—like deciding what to toss next.

If your street has controlled parking, you might also need a parking suspension. We can offer advice, but this is a task you'll need to tackle with the council. For the ultimate scoop on skip permits, check out our guide.
