Skip Day 2021 is confirmed for the 11th of September! 2 X 20 tonne skips have been ordered.

The first skip will be from 8am to 11am. Located beside Number 80.

The second will be from 8am to 11am and located in the Cul De Sac by Number 187.

In line with Covid-19 restrictions, access to the skips will be strictly supervised. In the first instance you must be a paying member of the association and secondly only one family unit can place items in the skip at any one time. Please maintain social distancing and keep your visit to the skip as brief as possible.

We require that you co-operate with all instructions that are issued during the morning. We also ask that residents don’t drop items off before and leave with the expectation that someone else puts it into the skips. Remember that only items broken down to their smallest parts will be accepted.

NB A list of active subscriptions will be cross checked before permission is given to access the skip.

Updates will be shared on the Estates WhatsApp group including when the skip has been physically dropped off. If you are not already a member then email: ballincleaheights@gmail.com to be added. Include your house and phone numbers.

Look forward to seeing you on the 11th September!
