• Driveways: On your property is the simplest way to have a skip at your house. Please be aware a fully loaded skip wagon can weigh up-to 18 tonnes, whilst our drivers at CWSH always take the utmost care we cannot be held responsible for any damage to any driveways or manholes,  we recommend any manhole covers are protected prior to delivery and block paving is taken into consideration when booking • Gravel gardens: If you need a skip going over a small fence please let us know at time of booking • Grass verges or on the road: If the land you need the skip to go on is not owned by yourself we will need a permit for this

Any skip placed on a public highway requires a permit from the council. CWSH will arrange a skip permit for you, along with lighting on the skip to comply with regulations, though you will need to meet the cost of doing so • Costs: Fees vary by council • Duration: Permits typically last 2 weeks (Wirral) or 28 days (Cheshire West & Chester) Notice: We can obtain a permit for Wirral council within 24 hours notice, Cheshire West & Chester we require 5 working days

The skip wagon (the vehicle that delivers the skip) needs a minimum of 2.7 metres width to unload the skip. Also, consider if there are any cables or low hanging trees over the area which could restrict access.

Skips must not be overloaded. The contents in the skip must not exceed the fill level. This isn’t our own rule to get you to hire a bigger skip – it’s the law! The reason for this is that although we net every skip before moving it. If the skip is overloaded Items could still dislodge and cause injury to pedestrians or motorists. It may also be too heavy for the wagon to legally lift. Althought the waste does not need to be begged up here's a guide to roughly how many bin bags of waste each skip can hold; • 2 yard: 12-15 bags • 4 yard: 35-40 bags • 8 yard: 60-65 bags

A fire must never be started in a skip. You can put general household waste and garden waste in our skips. However, due to EnvironmentLegislation and safety risks the following items are prohibited; Hazardous waste, all strictly prohibited: asbestos, aerosols, gas canisters, full paint cans, liquids Electronics/appliances: Rechargeable batteries and/or devices are not allowed due to fire concerns Specific materials: Plasterboard (plasterboard must be handles separately in dedicated skips or be bagged up to avoid contamination) Restricted items with charges applied: Tyres, Fridges, Freezers and Upholstered items (Sofas/padded headboards/beanbags/padded cushions etc) all incur additional fees due to the extra fees we incur to recycle them

If you need the skip collecting any sooner than this please call us and we can manually move this over to collects sooner for you.

We aim to recycle up to 95% of the contents of a skip. The waste is brought to our own recycling centre where it is meticulously sorted to extract all recyclable materials. We send only the minimum amount of waste to landfill.
