Garden clearance and private access in Roslin
Roslin is included in Midlothian's conservation appraisal collection. The local planning background does not establish that a garden entrance or lane can take a delivery vehicle.
For a property approached along a lane, describe the narrowest point, turns and overhead branches before selecting a container. A small skip still arrives on a vehicle that needs room to operate. Confirm who controls any shared access and whether the proposed route can be used for the return collection.
Describe garden waste by material
Branches, hedge cuttings, timber, soil and old garden fittings create very different loads. Estimate them separately and ask which can be combined. If the work includes digging, say so at the quotation stage; excavation can change the weight considerably compared with a surface tidy.

Use these approximate dimensions as a starting point. Container shapes vary; confirm the supplied skip and vehicle clearance before booking.
Does choosing a mini skip solve a narrow-lane problem?
Not necessarily. The delivery vehicle, manoeuvring space and lifting arrangement must still be assessed. Provide the access measurements and discuss the operator's requirements before assuming that the smallest container guarantees a suitable delivery.
