Same Day Skip Removal?

Options
Is it possible to have a skip delivered on the the morning and removed the same day!
We have a problem with fly-tippers filling skips as soon as they appear, in an ideal World i would just love it used and removed the same day but i can't seem to find any that will do this, it's not the end of the world if it's still there when full i suppose but the thought of an empty skip worries me.

    Forgive me for being thick, but if you have a skip delivered in the morning and you fill it the same day then there won't be any room for fly tippers to dump their rubbish ?

    As long as you use it for what you need it for then don't worry about the fly tippers, most skip companies will collect the following day.

    If you have all of the rubbish ready some do a service where they wait for you to fill it.

    Any skip company should be able to do this, builders digging foundations can get through 2 or 3 skips a day.

    They come along and tip their stuff on top of yours, taking the skip above the fill line, or contaminating the content with non-approved waste.

    The other answer is hire a skip with a locked lid, and put a CCTV camera on it.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
