What can you put in our skips?

Ah, the age-old question: "What can I chuck in this skip?" Well, worry not! You can toss in your garden waste, old bricks, and even that questionable carpet from the '70s. Household items? Absolutely. Construction materials? Bring 'em on. But hold your horses before you heave a mattress or a hulking sofa in there; those might need a bit more consideration (and let's be honest, they take up a LOT of room). And while we're all for a bit of fun, asbestos, plasterboard, and large electricals are a strict no-go. For more details on what you can and can't throw in, click here. Let's keep it clean and legal, folks!

Skip Permits in Galashiels

If you're planning to park your skip in your driveway or on your own land, you’re golden! No permits required, just skip away. However, if your chosen spot is on the public road, a skip permit in Galashiels is your golden ticket. It takes a few days and a small fee, but don’t fret—GoSkip handles all the paperwork with the local council, so you can skip the bureaucracy. If your street features the dreaded double yellows or controlled parking, you might need a parking suspension too. While we can offer advice, it’s one for you to sort with the council.
