Skip Sizes for Hire in Darlington

How Long Can Skips be Hired for in Darlington?

You can hire our skips for up to 2 weeks. We can adjust the collection date based on your needs. Either let us know at the time of hire or get back to us later once you have a date in mind. If you need a skip for longer than 2 weeks, inform us at the time of booking. Do remember that skips on council land only have a permit from 14 days up to a month, hence if you require such a skip for an extended period, we will need to apply for permit extensions and renewals a few days in advance.

Skip Weight Restrictions

For skip weights, we assume each cubic yard equals around 1 tonne of waste. Hence, a 3-yard skip can hold 3 tonnes; a 4-yard skip can hold 4 tonnes, and so on. While you can fill smaller and medium-size skips (2 – 8 yards) to their maximum capacity with bulky waste like rubble and dirt, it is advisable to fill larger skips with a combination of light and bulky waste due to the loading truck’s weight restrictions.

Rules about Skip Permits in Darlington

If you have to apply for a skip permit to place your skip on council property, you must abide by the following rules:

• The skip should not obstruct the road
• The skip should be painted in such a way that it is clearly visible to traffic
• Make sure the skip has road markings and appropriate lighting. Failure to do so can result in heavy fines
• Remove the skip before/as the permit expires
• The skip should not exceed 5 metres (16.4 feet) in length and 2 metres (6.5 feet) in width
• You must properly dispose of all waste inside the skip and ensure none of it is lying in the road/overhanging the road
