Loading tip. Keep everything level with the top of the skip and don't overfill. Overloaded or contaminated skips can't be collected until the excess or prohibited items are removed, which may delay your pick-up. You are responsible for everything in the skip when it's collected, so keep an eye on open skips in public areas.
