Show Summary

We go through the thought process as to why someone may consider getting a skip during a decluttering project
It is not always a good idea to just decide to throw everything away as you have no control over the process and is a lot of pressure on yourself.
Skips are useful to clear rubbish, not clutter! Often clutter can be put onto freecycle, given to the charity shop or given to friends and family.
You need to consider the logistics for a skip - will you be able to get a permit to keep it on the road, or have you got a driveway you can put it on?
It is hard to know the right size of skip you need, it is often underestimated and skips need to be packed in the correct way!
