What can you put in our skips?

So, you've got a skip and you're staring at it like it's a bottomless pit of possibilities. Hold your horses! There are a few rules to keep in mind. Feel free to toss in your normal household items, garden waste, and construction materials—old bricks, we're looking at you. But hold off on chucking in mattresses, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals. Sofas? They can sometimes go in, but it's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Want the full rundown? Head over to our guide on what you can and can't put in a skip.

Skip Permits in Patterdale

Here's the golden rule about skip permits in Patterdale: if you're placing it on your own land, you're golden! But if that skip is eyeing up a spot on public land, you'll need a skip permit. Don't worry, it's not as daunting as climbing Helvellyn. It usually takes a few days and comes with a small charge. The good news? GoSkip takes care of all the nitty-gritty paperwork with the local council. If your street has controlled parking (unlikely in our lovely countryside) and needs a parking suspension, we’re here to advise, but you'll need to liaise with the council. For all the details, check out our ultimate guide to skip permits.

What happens to your waste?

Ever wonder what happens to your waste after the skip's been whisked away? Well, fear not—your rubbish is in good hands. The vast majority of it gets sorted and recycled, and who knows? Maybe those old newspapers will come back as tomorrow's takeaway boxes. Here in Patterdale, we believe in giving waste a chance to live its best second life. Curious about the journey?
