No skip hire listed in Kirkton yet.

A skip hire company delivers and collects skips for waste disposal - from mini skips for a kitchen clearout to large builders' skips for renovation projects.

Knowing what size you need and what you can and cannot put in a skip saves time, money and the frustration of having a full skip rejected on collection day.

If the skip needs to go on a public road rather than your driveway, you will need a permit from your local council - a good skip hire company will arrange this for you.

Kirkton is a post-war housing scheme in the north of Dundee, developed from the late 1940s onwards and sitting between Downfield and the Fintry area.

The neighbourhood has local shops, a primary school and a community centre and is well served by bus routes running south towards the city centre.

Kirkton has a settled, family-oriented character and its location on the northern edge of the city gives it a slightly more open feel than many inner-city neighbourhoods.

Dundee is a compact city on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, Scotland's fourth-largest, with a narrow belt of suburbs stretching east to the handsome seaside village of Broughty Ferry and west to Invergowrie on the Carse of Gowrie.

The city has a gritty, unpretentious character shaped by its industrial past - jute, jam and journalism were the famous 'three Js' - and that working heritage gives Dundee a warmth and directness that sets it apart from Scotland's other cities.

The waterfront has been transformed in recent years, with V&A Dundee anchoring a regeneration that stretches along the Tay, but the real character of the city is in its neighbourhoods - the West End's cafes and independent shops, the Stobswell community, the views from the Law and the harbour feel of Broughty Ferry.

Dundee punches well above its weight in technology and research. The studios behind Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings are based here, and the University of Dundee and Abertay University drive strengths in life sciences, digital media, art and design.

Despite its city status, Dundee is remarkably walkable - most neighbourhoods are within a few miles of the centre - and the Tay Road Bridge, railway station and A90 connect it quickly to Fife, Perth and Aberdeen.
