Moving house is stressful enough without the hassle of deciding what to do with all your unwanted junk, the kind we all have populating our under-stairs cupboards and lofts. The answer is often to purge the house of your unwanted items, so here's a handy checklist of what to consider when hiring a skip company to dispose of it for you: Skip hire Where are you going to position your skip ? The skip will need to be clear of obstructions so the ideal location is on private land such as a garden or driveway, as you will not usually require a permit to situate it there. However, a standard skip lorry requires 10ft (3.3m) unobstructed width to gain access, regardless of the size of the skip. Ensure you have a skip hire permit If you are planning to position your skip on a public pavement, road or highway, you may need a skip permit from your local council. Conditions and fees vary depending on your region, so check your local council website for details. Some areas require you, the hirer, to apply for the permit; others deem this to be the responsibility of the hire company. How long will you need it for? Plan your time effectively. By pre-assessing which items need removing you will have a better idea of whether you need helping hands to get the job done. Most companies will be flexible if you need to extend the length of your hire, but this depends on availability and the expiry of your skip permit . Bear in mind it is not always possible for hire companies to give you an exact time for delivery, so do not make its arrival central to your plans for the day.
