Fence replacement and bulky timber in Gorebridge
Gorebridge has its own entry in Midlothian's conservation appraisal collection. The boundary is useful context; your fence materials, carrying route and space for the skip determine the waste enquiry.
A fence replacement produces long panels, rails, posts and sometimes concrete footings. List all four before deciding on capacity. Ask the contractor how timber will be prepared for safe loading, and tell the operator whether heavy post bases are part of the agreed waste.
Keep the boundary secure during the job
Think about temporary access while the fence is down, especially where children, pets or a shared path are involved. Choose a skip position that does not obstruct the contractor's working line. Agree collection after the final dismantled sections are loaded, without stacking material above the rim.
Choose by waste, space and weight

Use these approximate dimensions as a starting point. Container shapes vary; confirm the supplied skip and vehicle clearance before booking.
Can I put the concrete post bases in with the fence?
Explain their quantity and size to the operator first. They change the weight of a load that may otherwise consist mainly of timber. Use the operator's agreed material and weight limits rather than assuming every piece from the same project is interchangeable.
