You can fill the skip level with the top edge of skip. The reasons you should not over fill are:
- So the skip is not overloaded by weight.
- Both the skip and the skip lorry have a maximum carried weight capability (pre-determined by their size).
- The maximum load weight of the lorry is a legal restriction to ensure safe driveability.
- The Ministry of Transport carry out spot checks therefore it is imperative a skip is not overloaded by weight.
- So the skip is not overloaded by volume.
- An overloaded or overflowing skip would make the load unbalanced and liable to fall during transit.
Our standard agreement is for a skip to be kept for up to 7 days. We are happy to agree alternative arrangements should you require. When you hire a skip you are paying for the waste disposal (tipping) by capacity (weight/volume), therefore the price is per skip collection rather than how many days it remains with you. Please ensure you let us know when the skip will be ready for collection (the more notice the better!).
