What can you put in our skips?

So, you've got your skip, and now you're wondering what treasures and trinkets you can toss in there. Picture this: normal household items, garden waste (yes, even that slightly suspicious-looking gnome), and construction materials are all fair game. However, some items are definite no-nos. Mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals are like those friends who always overstay their welcome—not allowed. Sofas? Well, they might fit, but it's a bit like squeezing an elephant into a Mini. Best to check first. For a full breakdown, check out what you can and can't put in a skip. It’s simple, really—just keep it clean and legal, and you’re good to go!

Skip Permits in Folkestone

Now, let's talk skip permits in Folkestone. If you're lucky enough to have your own land to park your skip, you can sit back and relax—no permit needed! However, if you're planning a public land escapade, you'll need a skip permit, which is a bit like a VIP pass for your skip. It might take a few days to sort and will cost a wee bit, but fear not! GoSkip will handle all the paperwork with the local council, so you don’t have to lift a finger. If your street has those pesky controlled parking zones, a parking suspension might also be on the cards. We can guide you on this, but you'll need to chat with the council yourself. For all the nitty-gritty, have a peek at our ultimate guide to skip permits.

What happens to your waste?

Ever wondered what happens to your waste after it takes its final journey in our skips? Well, the vast majority of it gets sorted and recycled, embarking on a new life. Your old kitchen tiles could become part of a trendy new art installation, or that garden waste might just be the future home of a Folkestone butterfly. It’s like your rubbish is going on its own exciting adventure! For more on this transformative process, check out what happens to waste after skip hire. Who knew waste could be so fascinating?
