If the skip will not be going on private property and is instead going on a public highway, Easy Load will arrange a skip permit for you through your local council, along with lighting on the skip to comply with regulations.

A skip needs to allow for a 11ft or 3.3m entrance and they can be up to 12ft long. Most driveways are suitable for skips but thought should be taken to the quality of the surface as lorries can be heavy. You may also have exposed drain covers, low branches, or a restricted access. We encourage you to provide us with as much information as possible when ordering your skip so that we can brief the lorry driver before arrival. We can arrange alternative arrangements in the form of our grab hire service if a traditional skip is not be possible due to your location. Please give us a call if you are unsure.

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, if the skip is overloaded items could still dislodge and cause injury to pedestrians or motorists. It may also be too heavy for the lorry to legally lift.

The waste is transported to one of our licensed facilities where it is screened and the waste types are segregated for either recovery or recycling, we are able to continuously achieve recycling rates of 100%, sending 0% to landfill. Thanks to our recycling efforts we now send all of our waste to be recycled with NOTHING going to landfill.
