Skip Hire Ipswich Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a skip in Ipswich?
You need a permit from Suffolk County Council if your skip will be on a public road or pavement in Ipswich. No permit is needed for skips placed on private property such as driveways or gardens. We sort out the paperwork with the council, which usually takes 2-3 working days to process. Most customers in areas like Kesgrave and Woodbridge book a few days ahead to allow for this.
What can't go in my skip?
Most household and garden waste is fine in our skips. You can't put in asbestos, electrical items, batteries, fridges, paint tins, tyres, gas bottles or hazardous materials - this is due to waste regulations rather than our policy. Some items like plasterboard may need separate disposal. If you're clearing a property in Martlesham or Hadleigh and aren't sure about certain items, ring us for advice.
Which skip size do I need?
A 2-yard or 4-yard skip holds between 25-55 black bin bags and works for garden tidying or small clearouts. Kitchen renovations typically need 6-yard or 8-yard skips. Larger building projects around Ipswich often require 10-yard skips or bigger. We find many customers in Bramford and Claydon initially underestimate the amount of waste from home improvements. Hiring a skip that's a bit too large is usually cheaper than needing a second one.
How long can I keep the skip?
Skip hire normally runs for 7-14 days. If you need it longer, let us know before the collection date - there's a small extra fee for this. Many customers in East Bergholt and Capel St Mary finish with their skip earlier than expected. When you're done, ring us and we'll collect it within 1-2 working days, depending on our vehicle schedule and route planning for that area.
What access is needed for skip delivery?
Our lorries need about 3 metres width to deliver skips safely. Terraced streets in central Ipswich sometimes present access challenges. Let us know about narrow driveways or tight entrances when you book. For restricted areas near Ipswich Waterfront or the older parts of Felixstowe, we might suggest alternatives like our wait-and-load service. Local traffic wardens are typically understanding about brief stops for skip delivery, but we still need to follow council rules for placement.
