What are you clearing?
Rough amount

Keep the lifting route clear
Photograph gates, parked-car space and overhead obstructions from the vehicle approach. A yard may have enough floor area while its entrance prevents a lorry reaching it. Agree a position that will not become blocked as work progresses.
Let the operator confirm highway permission
Hartlepool's highway guidance says the skip company is responsible for applying for a licence when a skip is placed on the public highway. Confirm the position and approved dates with the company before arranging delivery.
