I don't have room for the skip on my drive, can I place it on the road?
Normally you can, however, a licence from the local council needs to be applied for. The charge levied varies across the UK and so does the notice the council require. If you need a skip on council property (inc the Highway) then contact us and we can advise on the cost and procedure for your council.
I have no space for a skip and do not want to pay the council a licence fee, can you help?
I can arrange to do a 'fill and wait' where i will drop the skip off and fill it immediately. However please contact me prior if required.
What access do I need to provide?
As the vehicle delivering to your house is an LGV and is very large, please make sure that there is sufficient access to allow it in/out safely. If you are unsure, please contact us at csmskiphire@yahoo.co.uk and we can provide you with the approximate dimensions required.
Do I have to wait in for the skip?
Usually it would be payment upon delivery however alternate arrangements can be made.
What does the price of hiring a skip include?
The price includes delivery, collection, disposal and hire for the allotted period of time.
Is my waste Recycled?
95% of all waste will be recycled
I have seen documentaries and information about "rogue" waste traders. How can I be sure you dispose of my waste responsibly?
References can be provided upon prior request
How quickly can a skip be delivered?
Mostly on the same day but certainly the next day where possible
