For the safety of our drivers, the public and your property, we cannot collect overfilled skip bags. The bags are specifically designed to accommodate safe lifting weights and the driver must be able to safely attach the lifting hooks and be able to lift the bag without the risk of items falling and causing injury. We therefore have a strict policy that overfilled bags will not be lifted and you will be asked to rearrange the collection after the bag is made safe to lift. Please also note that due to the weight of soil, stone, concrete and similar only the mini or mega bag should be used for these type of materials.

Yes, our hydraulic lifting crane can lift over walls with a height of no more than 4 ft. There must be access into the area where the bag is located to allow our driver space to hook the bag onto the crane. There must be no overhead wires or trees in the way. If it is not safe to lift you will be asked to move the bag to a different location and rearrange the collection. Note that the driver must be able to reach the bag in order to attach the crane hooks so there must be access for the driver.

Ideally we try not to collect bags from lanes as this can cause access issues for our truck. If you need to position your BabySkip bag down a lane, the lane must be wide enough to facilitate a fire engine. The laneway must always be clear as our drivers can call very early morning or late evening and at weekends.

We have a variety of trucks but at a minimum access must be able to accommodate a truck that is 11 ft wide and 33 ft feet long - approximately the same size as a fire engine. It also requires 1 ft on either side to gain access into narrow areas. Also note that due to weight of the trucks, they are not suitable to drive across gardens, gravel, grass, lawns or similar. If you place the bag where the truck will need to pull up on such surfaces, we may not be able to lift your bag and if we can, then KeyGreen will not be liable for any damage to such property.

No, unfortunately this is not a service we can provide. However, we can provide a wait and load service where you can arrange for a collection service by one of our vans and crew. Charges vary depending upon the size of the van required and the time taken to manually remove the waste. Contact us for more details.

No, unfortunately this is not a service we can provide as our truck is too large to reach into a garage. As above, for more information on our wait and load services, contact us.

Yes, we can collect competitors' bags as long as they are in our coverage area. We do not collect builders' bags as often they have been used previously to transport heavy building materials and are not safe to lift when reused. During peak times ( Apr-Sep ) this may not always be possible. Please contact us or use the chat facility to check if we have available slots and for pricing.

Our bags are suitable for the following waste materials – garden waste, household bulky waste but not domestic mixed municipal waste that would go in your regular bin, building materials, metal, wood, shed or garage clearance, etc. For a full list of what you can and can’t put in your BabySkip bag click on the button below. Please use your local authority for the disposal of WEEE, paints, oils, chemicals, fluorescent tubes/light bulbs, batteries, tyres. Many offer disposal of these hazardous materials free of charge or for a small charge. Please help us so that these materials do not contaminate other materials that we can recycle safety and avoid having to send to landfill.

We do not allow our drivers to accept cash for security reasons and our driver may call when you are not home and will then not be able to collect your bag and it will have to be rescheduled. Our bags must be paid for using credit card or debit card. If this is not possible for you please contact our office to discuss options such as bank transfer or cheque/bank draft.

We do various promotions during the year where we will advertise a voucher code either on the website, on promotional materials, in-store or on adverts. You can use these voucher codes online to receive discounts on your BabySkip collection.

It is not always possible for us to contact you in advance of collection as due to operational reasons such as weather conditions, delays or breakdowns routes may have to be rearranged at short notice. Many of our routes start in the very early morning pre 6am. However, please request at the time of booking if you have a specific requirement and we will do our best to contact you in advance.

No, we do not require you to be there to meet the driver as you pay for collection in advance. However, the bag must be accessible to the driver so that they can safety attach the lifting hooks to the bag.

Your bag can be no more than 14 ft from a public road in order for our truck to be able to access it. Please take into account that the truck will not be able to park on the kerb/footpath so measure from the kerb on the main road. Take note of trees, overheads wires, wall/hedge heights and other hazards that would prevent the crane from lifting safety.

No, unfortunately the bags are automatically routed according to the area on predefined days of the week.

This is not a service we can provide as there are too many operational variables that can impact on collection times.

You can dispose of household bulky waste, but you cannot put food or ‘wet’ waste in a BabySkip bag.
