Can I put a skip on my own drive?
Ask the supplier to assess access, ground and positioning; an available space alone does not confirm suitability.

Think beyond the footprint of the skip
The delivery vehicle needs to reach and lift the container. Show the gate, approach and turning space, especially if the driveway remains in everyday use.
Separate the heavy materials in the estimate
A bathroom refit or garden project may produce masonry and soil as well as light rubbish. Ask which container suits the weight and whether any materials need separate handling.
