Step-by-step guide to hiring a skip in Scotland — from choosing size to booking and loading.

Hiring a skip in Scotland is simple. Here's how it works with Low Cost Skips Scotland.

Step 1: Choose Your Skip Size

Think about how much waste you have:

  • Small clearance or garden tidy: 2-4 yard
  • Medium clearance or renovation: 4-6 yard
  • Large project or full clearance: 8-12 yard

Not sure? Call us and we'll advise.

Step 2: Decide Where to Put It

  • **Driveway**: Best option — no permit needed
  • **Road**: Requires a council permit — we can arrange this
  • **Elsewhere**: We'll advise on suitability

Step 3: Book

Call 01324321043. Have ready:

  • Your address
  • When you want it delivered
  • How long you need it
  • Payment details

We'll confirm the price and booking.

Step 4: Fill It

  • Load heavy items first
  • Fill to the brim (but never above)
  • Don't put prohibited items in (call to check if unsure)
  • Try to pack efficiently to maximise space

Step 5: We Collect

When you're done, call us and we'll collect the skip. Waste goes to a licensed facility for sorting and recycling.

That's it! Simple, affordable waste disposal across Scotland.
