Default Filling a skip - etiquette

How much higher than the highest side of a skip can one fill it before
one can be considered to be taking the ****?

And is it 'on' to increase the sides of the skip with board before
filling?



TBH, We have overfilled a few skips following the rule that stuff
shouldn't actually be spilling over the sides. We have used the boards (or
doors) at the side trick. Maybe we were lucky with the skip handler...

There is one rule you will have to follow. You must stand by the skip all
night to stop your neighbours filling it for you.


Nobody had chance to get anything in it, we had a surprising anount to clear
out of a unit we are vacating.

Shall I get a 4 or 5 ton I thought and ordered a 4, filled it very quickly.

Ordered another which I thought would be overkill for the 'bits' we had left
and again the chuffing thing filled up and we carried on filling it.

We are cleared up now but I am not looking forward to the guy coming back
for it tomorrow, I might bung him an extra tenner.
