Skip Hire Scunthorpe Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for skip hire in Scunthorpe?
You need a permit for skips placed on public roads or pavements in Scunthorpe. Skips on private property don't require permits. We sort out the paperwork with North Lincolnshire Council, which takes 2-3 working days. The permit cost is included in your quote. Different rules apply in controlled parking zones near the town centre. You can still hire a skip while waiting for a permit - just give us a call to discuss options.
What waste can't go in a skip in Scunthorpe?
Most household and building waste is fine, but some items aren't allowed. You can't put hazardous materials, electrical items, batteries, tyres, gas bottles or liquids in skips. North Lincolnshire has rules against mixing certain waste types. Plasterboard needs separate disposal. Firms at Scunthorpe Industrial Estate often need advice on handling unusual waste. If you're not sure about something, ring us before loading it.
Which skip size do I need for my job?
Small clearouts need 2-4 yard skips. Kitchen renovations usually need 6-8 yard skips. Many people in Bottesford find a 4 yard skip fills up quickly once they start clearing. Building sites near Lakeside often use 12 yard skips. Soil and rubble take up more space than lighter waste. The skip mustn't be filled above the sides - that's against transport rules. We drop off most skips in Scunthorpe between 8am and 3pm.
How long can I keep the skip and how is collection arranged?
Skips are usually hired for 14 days. Ring us when you've finished with it, and we'll collect it within 2 days. Let us know if you need it longer - this costs a bit extra. Traffic around British Steel can slow our vehicles down during shift changes. For ongoing jobs at Skippingdale, we can swap full skips for empty ones. Book exchanges a day before you need them. Most customers in Ashby have their skips collected within 10 days.
Are there any local issues to know about for skip hire in Scunthorpe?
Some streets in Old Crosby are too narrow for large skip lorries. Foxhills industrial sites have specific delivery hours - we work around these. Bottesford properties typically have more space for skips than town centre homes. We know the access routes off Doncaster Road. Deliveries to Messingham take longer than in town. During Scunthorpe United home matches, roads near the stadium get congested. We've been delivering to Normanby Enterprise Park for years and know where lorries can and can't go.
