Items to check with us first
Some items need to be discussed with us before they go into the skip, as they may need separate handling or may carry an additional disposal charge.
These can include:
- plasterboard
- carpets
- roofing felt
- tyres
- fridges and freezers
- mattresses
- sofas, chairs, and upholstered furniture
Hazardous materials such as asbestos, gas bottles, paint, batteries, and other harmful substances cannot be placed in a standard skip.
If you are unsure about any item, contact us before booking and we will advise you.

Skip permits in Colchester
Whether you need a permit depends on where the skip will be placed. If it is going on private land, such as a driveway, you will not usually need one. If it needs to be placed on a public road or pavement, a permit is normally required.
Please note, we don’t currently arrange permits, however the team can provide guidance if you need any help. If you do not have enough room to keep a skip on site, our Wait and Load service may be a better option. This is designed for situations where there is no driveway, no permit, or no space to leave a skip in place, and waste needs to be loaded and removed quickly.
