What happens if I overload the skip?
An overloaded skip is a hazard. The lorry may struggle to lift the skip, and your overfilled waste can be dangerous.
If overloaded, the driver may not take the risk to lift it, and you might be asked to remove extra waste.
Skips should only be filled level with the sides.
