Everything you need to know before hiring a skip.
Skip sizes, hire durations, prohibited items, road placement permits, and availability — all in one place. No jargon.
Skip size guide
Choose from mini, midi, builder's, large, maxi, and RoRo skips. GRIDCO can help you select the right size for household clearances, renovations, construction waste, or commercial projects.
- Mini and midi skips for smaller clear-outs and home projects
- Builder's and large skips for renovations and construction waste
- Maxi and RoRo containers for large commercial or high-volume jobs
What can and cannot go in a skip
Most non-hazardous household, garden, construction, wood, cardboard, metal, and general waste can go in a skip. Asbestos, tyres, gas cylinders, hazardous chemicals, electrical appliances, clinical waste, and large quantities of batteries need separate arrangements.
Road placement permits and delivery
A permit is required when a skip is placed on a public road or pavement. GRIDCO can advise on permits, access, same-day availability, and next-day delivery across the North East.
