What can you put in our skips?

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of what you can chuck into our skips. Household items, garden waste, and even those construction materials left over from your DIY weekend are all welcome. However, if you're tempted to toss in a mattress, asbestos, or plasterboard, well, you might want to think again. Large electricals are also a no-go, and while a sofa might seem like a comfy fit, it’s usually not the best idea due to its size—best double-check before you start a furniture toss. For the full lowdown, have a peek at what you can and can't put in a skip. Remember, it's not just a skip; it's a sorting hat for your rubbish!

Skip Permits in Stow

If you're planning to pop a skip on your own land in Stow, then congratulations, you’re golden—no permit needed! But if your skip plans involve public land, prepare for a bit of paperwork. A skip permit is required, which can take a few days to arrange and comes with a small fee. Fear not, though, as GoSkip handles the red tape with the local council, so you can focus on your project rather than the paperwork. If you live on a street with controlled parking, a parking suspension might be necessary. While we can offer advice, this is something you’ll need to coordinate with the council. For all the fine print, check out our ultimate guide to skip permits.

What happens to your waste?

Ever wondered what happens to your rubbish once it leaves your sight? At GoSkip, we take pride in sorting and recycling the vast majority of collected waste. Your discarded bits and bobs may embark on a magical journey, possibly returning to you in a new guise—perhaps as a park bench in the village or even as part of a new building! It's like sending your waste on a holiday where it comes back as something entirely different. Curious about the transformation? Dive into the details of what happens to waste after skip hire. Who knew rubbish could have such an exciting second act?
