company supplying them a time and date you would like your skip to be delivered and the size of skip you need. Your skip will hopefully arrive when you cited. You can usually keep the skip for as long as is required to fill it up

hire business typically reserve a right to 'level off' the too-high waste on collecting the skip if it is dubbed unsuitable for transporting.
