How to Maximise Skip Space & Reduce Costs

To get the best value from your skip, follow these tips:

✔ Break Down Large Items

Disassemble furniture, flatten cardboard, and break large pieces of wood or debris into smaller sections to make the most of your skip’s capacity.

✔ Fill Gaps Efficiently

Place bulky and heavy items at the bottom, then fill gaps with smaller waste to prevent wasted space.

✔ Avoid Overfilling

Overfilled skips may not be collected due to safety regulations. Ensure all waste stays within the skip’s height limit.

✔ Separate Recyclable Materials

Segregate items like metal, cardboard, and wood to allow for better recycling and potentially reduce disposal costs.

Do You Need a Skip Permit in Suffolk?

Permits are required if you need to place a skip on a public road. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Permit Costs: Fees vary by location, so check with your local council for exact costs.
