In association with South Notts Computers When you hire a skip, you will need to have a skip permit in place before you place it on a public highway (which includes pavements, roads and highways). You need to ensure that the permit is up to date and covers the types of waste you are getting rid of. It is important to place skips on the road rather than the pavement, unless your permit allows the skip to be placed on the pavement. Don’t place skips on the highway in places where they might become a nuisance or a danger to road users. Safety measures to follow are: •use cones and amber flashing marker lights around the skip when it's dark and/ or hard to see because of fog, mist and other conditions •fix reflective markers on both ends of the skip •avoid placing the skip on the pavement, manhole covers, drains, grates or other utility access points Make sure: •the contents don’t stick out from the sides of the skip: this is dangerous for road users and pedestrians •the skip isn’t over-filled and its contents are stable, covered with netting or dampened to stop the waste materials from inside blowing out •the skip doesn't contain materials likely to pose a risk of fire, explosion and won't release toxic fumes or present a health or environmental hazard Please contact our sales team to arrange for your permit. The more notice we have the better, but try to allow at least 24 hours.
