Frequently Asked Questions on Skips
If you need a domestic skip for a home or garden project, we generally recommend a smaller size. A & R Skips offers:
- 2-Yard (Mini) Skips: Ideal for local skip hire for small garden or shed clearances.
- 4-Yard (Midi) Skips: Perfect for bathroom or kitchen refits.
- 8-Yard (Builders) Skips: The most popular choice for heavy waste for construction and commercial customers.
- 12-Yard Skips: For larger projects. Please contact our office on 01942 247339 to check availability.
If your skip is placed on private land, such as a driveway, car park, or yard, you will not require a permit.
However, if the skip is placed on a public road maintained by the local council, a Wigan skip permit is required at an extra cost. This can be booked directly through our website, and we will handle the application process for you. Please note that Wigan Council requires 48 hours to process a permit.
A permit cannot be granted if the skip must be placed:
- On yellow lines
- Close to a pelican crossing or bus stop
- Within 15 metres of a junction
- Near dangerous bends on a busy road
We allow the following items in our skips:
- Bricks, concrete, and hardcore
- Cardboard, paper, and plastic
- Furniture and household items
- Garden waste and soil
- Metal and construction debris
Please get in touch with our waste removal experts if you are unsure about any specific items. We are always happy to advise you on the best way to dispose of your domestic or commercial waste at competitive prices.
We recommend giving us 1–2 days’ notice for collection. Our standard hire periods are:
- 2-Yard Mini Skip: 4 days
- 4-Yard Midi Skip: 4 days
- 8-Yard Builders Skip: 7 days
