What size skip do I need?
Please see our size guide or alternatively please feel free to contact us and discuss your requirements with our staff on 01608 641361.
Skips must be level filled, NO greedy boards and NO fires.
What can’t I put in my skip?
We cannot accept paint, any polluting or hazardous substances such as oil, batteries, fire extinguishers or gas bottles.
Paint tins must be empty.
Asbestos, tyres, glass, fridges, freezers and plasterboard can be taken only with prior arrangement with our office.
Windows are priced on weight so must be kept separate and not put in skips without our office staff knowing. Please call our office for more information.
All unacceptable waste will be unloaded from the skip on collection or returned to the customer.
Plasterboard must be kept separate from general waste. A sorting charge may be applied if it is not.
My skip is NOT on private property, where can I place it?
If your skip cannot be placed on your property and has to be placed on the highway, verge or footpath then a Road Permit will need to be applied for. We will arrange this with the relevant Highways Authority. At least 5 working days is required for this to be processed for Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire and at least 12 working days for Gloucestershire. Lights and cones are included. The road permit lasts one month and if it’s to be renewed the same notice period is required.
What happens if I can’t get a licence?
For times when skips cannot be placed on the highway or the rubbish is ready to load, a wait and load could be the perfect solution. The skip is placed by your property and our driver stays with the skip. The customer then has 30 minutes to load the skips. After this time or when the skip is full it is taken away. No hassle, no clogging up driveways, just wait and load.
How long can I keep the skip for?
Most skips can be on site for up to 3 weeks, however with prior arrangement with our office staff skips can be on site for a negotiated period of time. The maximum hire period for account customers is 3 months.
How can I pay for my skip?
We accept all major cards apart from American Express. Payment must be taken over the phone before delivery of your skip. Accounts can be opened after a month of trading. We also accept BACS transfers.
How much notice do I need to give?
We usually require one day’s notice to deliver, exchange or collect your skip. With prior arrangement with our office staff we can offer an out of hour’s service or a turnaround service for excavation works.
How can I dispose of Asbestos?
KJ Millard Ltd are fully licensed to organise the safe disposal of all asbestos types, prior notice is required.
**Any asbestos found in skips that we have not had prior notice for will be returned to the customer**
We can arrange to register your site on your behalf if required. For more information and for an accurate quotation for your specific site, please contact us on 01608 641631.
Tight access?
We have two smaller 13 ton skip lorries, perfect for smaller driveways. To be sure we can deliver it’s great if you have the dimensions of any gateways, low branches or archways when ordering skips.
Can you lift a skip over a fence?
Skips can be lifted over fences and walls that are no more than 3 feet high. We take no responsibility for any damage if we are asked to do this.
Wasted Journey Charge.
It is the customer’s responsibility at time of delivery or collection to ensure there is clear space to enable the lorry necessary access. A wasted journey fee may apply if access is not available.
Excess Weight Charges.
Skips 10 yards and bigger are priced with an excess weight charge. Heavy materials such as soil, stone, tiles, rubble are best placed in a 6 yard skip or smaller. Call our office for more up to date information or to answer any questions 01608 641361.
