For many residents in Australia, skip hire is at the forefront of their minds this year.

Northern Territory locals have had enough of lazy, idle, boneheads who dump rubbish in open spaces.

According to the Katherine Times, the culprits are “too lazy to put [the waste] in the skip bin placed outside … if it’s closed on the weekend”.

If you’re organising the hire of a skip, these are the things that you should ask your skip company for safe, hassle-free skip hire:

• How long can I have the skip for?

This can affect the price you pay on some occasions

• How much access does the drive need to place the skip?

Always check you have enough room on site.

• Do I need a skip permit?

If your skip has to go on the public highway, you will need to pay more for a skip permit from the local council – in most cases, we can organise this on your behalf.

• Do you have a copy of the Waste Carriers License?

Check your company’s registered. Skip companies who do not have a license are operating illegally. If they flytip your waste, it can lead back to you – and you could face a hefty fine.
