What can you put in our skips?

When it comes to filling our skips, think of it like packing for a holiday: some things are a definite yes, others are a maybe, and a few are a hard no. You’re welcome to toss in household items, garden waste, and construction materials—those are the sun cream and flip-flops of the skip world. But remember, some items like mattresses, asbestos, and large electricals are more like that oversized inflatable flamingo: best left at home. Sofas? Well, they're the wildcard—sometimes they fit in, but it might be easier to leave them behind. For the curious and cautious among you, check out our guide on what you can and can't put in a skip. It’s as straightforward as a stroll along Southsea Pier.

Skip Permits in Portsmouth

Ah, the skip permit: the bureaucratic equivalent of a hall pass. If you’re planning to park your skip on your driveway, congratulations, you’re in the clear! But if public land is your only option, a skip permit in Portsmouth is a must-have. Getting one is a bit like finding a good chippy after midnight—it takes some effort and a few days of patience. But fear not, GoSkip is here to handle all the nitty-gritty paperwork with the local council, so you can focus on more important things, like perfecting your Pompey accent. If you're in a controlled parking zone, a parking suspension may also be needed. While we can offer advice, this one’s between you and the council.
