This also then allows you a further 14 days to keep the skip.
SPECIAL NOTE  :  All clean-up skips must be paid in advance. You may choose to pay by credit card over phone, come in and pay or pay the driver on delivery. 

WHAT CAN I PUT IN IT?
 
All household refuse can be put in skip – the following is a list of restricted items.
 
RESTRICTED ITEMS

- No dirt, bricks or concrete
- No hazardous materials or chemicals
- No paint tins etc
- No tyres
 
Please note - the bin must not be overloaded – a guide is that the lid must be closed without any rubbish protruding from the top when the truck comes to empty.                                         
 
WHERE WILL WE PUT THE SKIP?
 
In some council/shire areas a permit is required in order to place a skip on council kerbside property. In these circumstances the permit will be organised by Wheelie Waste however the permit fee will be on-charged to the customer and the permit must be approved before delivery of skip can occur.
In most cases the skip will be placed on the council verge of the property. Should we be required to enter the boundary of the property at your request, then any damage caused to the driveway, gutter or cobalt by the truck, Wheelie Waste will not be responsible for the repair.
 
Please also note that if the bin is moved by you after delivery to a position that cannot be accessed by our truck, then you are responsible for moving the bin back to its original location. Should this not be possible due to weight then a forklift will be sent and the client changed accordingly.
 
 
A copy of our Terms and Conditions will be given to you upon delivery of skip.
