Compare capacity and dimensions
A skip can sit on suitable private ground while you clear the house, but leave room for everyday access.
For a Polmont home with a private driveway, the skip can sit close to the job if the surface and delivery access are suitable. Tell us if the drive is shared or if you still need to use the garage during the hire.
Give the narrowest gate width and mention walls, pillars or a tight turn.
A skip fitting between the gates does not prove the delivery lorry can get in.
Agree a position that leaves the front door, garage and any shared drive usable.

Separate the bulky clutter from liquids and electrical items before you start loading.
A garage clear-out can combine timber, boxes, metal and things that do not belong in a general skip. Paint tins, fuel, batteries and electrical appliances need a different disposal route. Describing the awkward items first helps us agree what the skip can take.
Shelving and lengths of timber can fill a small skip faster than loose bags.
Do not put oils, fuel, paint or unidentified liquids in the container.
Have time to sort the contents before delivery rather than emptying everything into one pile.
Practical details for the job you are planning.
Only use a shared space with the necessary permission and an agreed position. Tell us who else uses it and how much clear access they need.
No. Keep paint, fuel, oils and batteries out of a general skip and arrange suitable disposal for them.
You can sort the waste in advance if you have a safe place to keep it. Leave the delivery route clear and do not put waste on the public pavement.
Road placement in Polmont needs Falkirk Council permission before delivery. Give us the proposed spot and allow for the council’s application process before starting the garage clear-out.
Have your gate width, garage access needs and a short list of restricted items ready when you call.
Delivery availability, the hire period and collection are confirmed before you book.
