What you can't put in it
The same rules apply to every skip size: no fridges, electricals, tyres, plasterboard, asbestos, chemicals, batteries, mattresses or upholstered furniture. See our full guide to what can and can't go in a skip before you load up.
Do you need a permit?
If the skip sits on your driveway or private land, no permit is needed. On a public road you need one from the council — we arrange it as part of the booking, so you don't have to deal with the paperwork.
