What Can Affect the Price?
Permit Costs: If your skip needs to go on the road, a council permit fee may apply.
Location: More remote areas may incur an additional fuel surcharge.
Hire Period: Longer hire periods may cost slightly more.
Waste Type: Specialist disposal (e.g., asbestos — which we don't take) carries a premium.
Skip Size: Obviously the main factor — bigger skip = higher price.
