Skegness Skip Hire

Yes. East Lindsey District Council requires permits for skips placed on roads or pavements in Skegness. The council typically processes applications within 2-3 working days. You don't need a permit for skips on private land like driveways. We handle the paperwork when you book your skip. During summer, permit processing sometimes takes longer due to the higher number of applications.

Several materials aren't allowed in skips. These include asbestos, chemicals, paint (unless empty tins), gas bottles, fluorescent tubes, batteries, tyres, electrical items and liquids. Plasterboard needs separate disposal. This matters for holiday let clearances that often contain mixed waste. If you're clearing a property on North Shore or Roman Bank and have questions about specific items, ask us when booking. Skegness Recycling Centre on Warth Lane takes some items we can't collect.

For holiday lets in Skegness, 4-6 yard skips suit most end-of-season clearouts. Small chalets need 4 yard skips. Larger holiday homes need 6-8 yard skips. Property refurbishments, common during winter months in Skegness, usually require 8 yard skips. The narrow access roads in older parts of Ingoldmells limit the size of skip we can deliver. Customers on Burgh Road or Wainfleet Road have better access for larger skips. Tell us about any access issues when booking.

Weather affects skip deliveries in Skegness, especially in exposed coastal areas. If wind speeds exceed safety limits, we might need to reschedule your delivery. This happens occasionally along North Shore Road during winter. Properties in low-lying areas near the seafront sometimes face access issues after heavy rain. We may call you on delivery day if conditions are poor. Our drivers know the local roads and will advise if they can't safely place your skip where requested.

Yes. Neighbours often share skips in areas like St Mary's Road or among holiday let owners in Chapel St Leonards. One person needs to make the booking and handle payment. Shared skips usually need to be slightly larger than individual ones. A 6 yard skip often works for two neighbouring properties instead of two 4 yard skips. The skip must still follow fill level guidelines and waste restrictions. Most people share week-long hires, which suits most garden clearances or small renovation jobs.
