What can you put in our skips?

Ah, the age-old question: what can you throw into a skip? Picture it as a large, friendly, non-judgmental friend ready to accept most of your clutter. Normal household items, garden waste, and construction materials are all welcome guests. However, let's not make it awkward by tossing in mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, or large electricals—it’s just not their scene. Sofas, you ask? They might fit, but it’s a bit like trying to squeeze a giant into a Mini Cooper. Best to double-check before plonking it in. For the full scoop on what can and can’t go in, hop over to our guide.

Skip Permits in West Calder

Ah, bureaucracy. If you're planning to park your skip on your own land, you're golden—no permits needed, and no awkward conversations with the neighbours. But if your skip needs to hang out on public land, you'll need a skip permit. It takes a few days to arrange and comes with a small fee, but here’s the good news: GoSkip handles all the paperwork with the local council, so you can sit back and relax with a cuppa. Now, if your street is policed by parking wardens, a parking suspension might also be on the menu. We’ve got tips and tricks, but you’ll need to chat with the council for that one. For all the nitty-gritty details, check out our ultimate guide to skip permits.

What happens to your waste?

Once your skip is full and your space is blissfully decluttered, you might wonder, "What becomes of my waste?" Well, in West Calder, recycling is the name of the game. The vast majority of what you toss gets sorted and reborn in some marvellous way. Who knows, that old garden gnome could come back as part of a playground slide or, dare we say, a new gnome!
