People rent a skip for a variety of purposes. Perhaps they're having a spring clear out, changing an old kitchen or shower room, wanting to remove tons of green waste are all good reasons why people hire a skip.
Hiring yourself a skip is a reasonably easy process, even more so today with many companies offering you the option of reserving your skip on the internet. Mostly the method is as follows.

Your skip will hopefully arrive on the date you stated. You can usually use the skip for as long as is required to fill it up with your waste. Once you skip is ready for removal, you need give the skip rental operators a ring and tell them when you want your skip picked up.
If there isn't any where on your drive to fit the skip it will need to be placed on the public road/pavement.

Also, if the skip is to be put on the street it is the job of the person hiring the skip to ensure it has appropriate warning lights fitted. These lights can usually be sourced from the skip hire company when ordering the skip.

You can load a skip with pretty much anything with the exception of some items. These include aerosol cans, gas canisters, crt monitors, TVs, full paint cans, food leftovers, tyres, fridges or freezers.
The skip mustn't be over-loaded. This will cause Problems in picking up the skip and is also hazardous to people and other road users. Your skip should not be loaded above the pinnacle of the walls of the skip. If the skip is overloaded the skip hire firm generally reserve the right to 'level' the waste on collecting the skip if it is deemed not suitable for transporting.
