Dimensions are approximate guide figures, in length × width × height order. Skip shapes vary. Confirm the exact size, availability and waste limit before booking. The lorry needs more room than the skip itself.
What are you clearing?
The waste matters as much as the amount. Tell us about your job before choosing a size.
A room or a garden
Small clear-outs may suit a compact skip. Mention soil, rubble or large furniture before you book.
A kitchen or building job
Describe the materials coming out. Heavy waste needs an agreed size and weight limit.
A one-off pile of rubbish
A rubbish collection may suit you if you want the agreed items loaded and taken away.

What can go in a skip?
Get the contents agreed before you load. Some items need a different disposal route.
Everyday waste
Tell us what you have
- Household clear-out waste
- Garden cuttings
- Wood and metal
- Renovation waste
Agree the contents when you book. Weight limits and mixed loads still matter.
Agree first
Some items need a separate plan
- Soil, rubble and concrete
- Plasterboard
- Mattresses and upholstered furniture
- Electrical items, fridges and tyres
Call first to check which items we can take, how to separate them and any extra charge.
Keep out
Do not put these in your skip
- Asbestos or suspected asbestos
- Paint, solvents and oils
- Gas bottles and batteries
- Fuel, chemicals and liquids
These need a suitable separate disposal route. Never hide them in an ordinary skip.
Skip hire for Alloa homes without a driveway
No private space at the front? Plan the skip position and the route from your house or rear garden before delivery.
Choose the spot first
Tell us whether waste will come through the house, a side gate or shared access. A skip on the road needs council permission.
Measure awkward items
Check doors, gates and turns before carrying out long boards or old furniture. Keep the route clear while you work.
Keep shared access open
Leave neighbours a usable route to doors, bins and rear entrances. If you want the lifting done for you, ask about rubbish removal.
Putting a skip on the road in Alloa?
Agree the exact position before booking. On Mill Road, between East Vennel and the car park, parking is restricted to signed bays.
Allow time for permission
Clackmannanshire Council asks for online skip applications at least 10 working days before placement. Permission must be granted before delivery.
Check the parking restrictions
An empty bay does not give permission for a skip. Tell us about signs, restrictions and nearby entrances so the position can be checked.
Plan the whole hire
Agree the approved dates, required safety equipment and collection. For a skip needed today, suitable private placement may avoid the road-permit wait.

Helpful answers before you book
Clear-out advice
Can a 2-Yard Skip Fit on My Driveway?
A mini skip may fit on your driveway, but the lorry needs room to place it and collect it.
Read the guideClear-out advice
Man and Van or Skip Hire for a Clear-Out?
A skip holds waste as you work. A rubbish collection takes away the agreed items when they are ready.
Read the guideYour skip hire questions
Which skip size should I choose?
Start with what you are clearing and the type of waste. Compare the guide dimensions, then call to check a suitable size and weight limit. Bulky items and heavy rubble need different plans.
Can the skip go on my driveway?
A suitable private driveway can be an option. The lorry needs clear access and room to place and lift the skip. Tell us about gates, overhead cables, slopes and anything that could block access.
Will I need a permit?
A skip on the public road needs council permission. Clackmannanshire Council’s current roads guidance asks for an online application at least 10 working days before placement. Agree who applies before booking.
How long can I keep the skip?
Agree the hire period and any extension charges when you book. If your job takes longer, call before the agreed period ends.
How do I get the skip collected?
Call 01259 235650 when the skip is ready. Agree the collection arrangements and keep access clear. Do not assume collection is automatic or immediate.
Do you offer rubbish removal as well?
Yes. Call about a one-off rubbish collection if you would prefer the agreed items to be loaded and taken away. Describe what you have, where it is and any difficult access.
