Can a skip be placed on a sloping driveway?
Send photographs and measurements for supplier assessment. Do not assume every slope or surface is suitable.

Do not estimate access from the gate alone
Include the bend into the drive, surface condition and overhead obstructions in your photographs. The operator needs space to manoeuvre and lift the container, not just somewhere to leave it.
Separate the heavy part of a garden job
Soil and broken paving can reach a weight allowance before a container looks full. Give approximate quantities separately from hedge cuttings, fencing and household clutter.
