Your supplier will recommend the right size based on what you're disposing of.

Question 5

What items can't go in a skip?

Hazardous materials like asbestos, chemicals, tyres, fridges, batteries and electrical items are banned from skips. Liquids, paint and fluorescent tubes also can't be disposed of this way due to environmental regulations. Your skip hire supplier in South Molton will give you a full restricted items list. These materials need specialist disposal.

Question 6

Do I need planning permission for a skip hire in South Molton?

Accepted Answer

No planning permission is required for a skip itself. However, if your skip blocks the pavement or sits on public land in South Molton, you need a permit from North Devon Council.
