How long can I have a skip outside my house?
Is there a maximum time frame for which you can have a skip outside a property? Does it depend on where you live?
Expert Trade Answers
Best Answer
"The price of a skip normally covers hire for up to 2 weeks. The collection date is flexible. You can either specify when you want the skip collected at the time of hire or request a collection later once you know a bit more. Skip companies generally collect within a couple of days of a request – so if it’s important the skip is gone by a certain date, then be sure to give them a reasonable amount of notice."
