What can you put in our skips?

So, you've got a skip, now what? Picture it as a giant piñata for your unwanted stuff. You can toss in household items, garden waste, and construction debris like bricks and rubble. Just don't get too creative—mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electrical items are a no-go. Sofas? Well, they might fit, but it’s like trying to squeeze a cow through a cat flap—possible, but not advisable. When in doubt, give us a shout or check our guide on what you can and can't put in a skip.

Skip Permits in Barnstaple

Thinking of plonking your skip on your driveway? Perfect, you're as free as a seagull in the sky. However, if it’s destined for public land, you’ll need a skip permit—think of it as a VIP pass for your skip. It takes a few days to arrange and carries a small fee, but don't worry, GoSkip handles all the paperwork with the local council, so you can focus on more exciting things—like deciding what to toss. Oh, and if you’re in a street with controlled parking, a parking suspension might be on the cards. We can advise, but you'll need to chat with the council about that one. For more details, flutter over to our ultimate guide to skip permits.
