Skip Hire Loughborough Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for skip placement in Loughborough?
You don't need a permit for skips placed on private property like driveways or gardens. For skips on public roads, Leicestershire County Council requires a permit which costs around £30-£40. We sort the paperwork with the council, but permit processing takes 2-3 working days. Some narrow roads in Loughborough town centre have restrictions on skip placement, particularly near the market area.
What waste can't go in skips in Loughborough?
Most household and garden waste is fine, but certain items can't go in skips. Don't put in hazardous materials, electrical items, tyres, gas bottles or plasterboard. Common items that cause confusion include paint tins (must be empty and dry), soil (allowed but heavy), and mattresses (accepted but take up considerable space). The waste transfer station on Melton Road handles items we can't take in skips.
What skip size suits different projects in Loughborough?
A 4-yard skip holds about 40 bin bags and works for garden clearances or small bathroom refits. Kitchen renovations typically need 6-yard skips. For house extensions common in areas like Shepshed and Quorn, 8-yard skips are practical. The terraced houses near Loughborough University often have limited access, so smaller skips are necessary. Heavy materials like soil and bricks fill a skip quickly regardless of size.
How long can I keep a skip in Loughborough?
Standard hire periods run for 7-14 days. Council permits for skips on roads usually last two weeks. If you need more time, let us know a day or two before collection. Extended hire costs £10-£15 per additional day depending on skip size. Most customers in Loughborough area keep skips for about 10 days. Collections sometimes take longer during busy periods after bank holidays.
How does waste sorting work after skip collection?
When we collect your skip, the waste goes to our sorting facility near Mountsorrel. Workers separate recyclable materials like wood, metal and aggregates from general waste. About 70% of skip waste gets recycled rather than sent to landfill. Metal is sent to Coalville for processing, while green waste becomes compost at the Melton facility. The sorting process takes a day or two before materials move to their next destination.
