Leave room around a driveway skip
Measure the entrance and usable standing area, not just the length of the drive. Mention a shared access, low branches or parked vehicles that could restrict unloading.
Separate strip-out materials from household clutter
A kitchen project can produce cabinets, tiles, appliances and packaging. Declare these separately so the provider can confirm the accepted mixture and any items needing another route.
