Guide to Skip Hire

What can I put in the skip?

Lightweight waste such as paper, plastic bags

General / household waste

Wood, soil and garden waste

We accept hardcore and bricks in our 4yd, 6yd and 8yd skips only due to weight constraints. For heavier loads of hardcore we can offer our Grab Wagon service instead, please speak to our team

Hazardous waste such as asbestos, aerosols etc we do accept however please contact us prior so we can ensure any additional safety precautions

Waste Amount

We like to work with our customers to find ways to reduce waste and can provide several skips at any one time if required

Skips are available in sizes: 4 Yard, 6 Yard, 8 Yard, 10 Yard, 12 Yard, 16 Yard

Please note only level loads can be collected and we would recommend going up a size if you are unsure about what will fit in

Do I need a permit?

If your skip must be placed on the public highway then a permit will be required. The additional cost is £50 including VAT and we will arrange this for you

Will there be any extra charges?

Due to some waste requirements and specialist disposal policies there may be an additional fee, these include;

Fridges & Freezers – (£20 for a small / single door one £30 for a large)

Paint, Solvents & Fuel – These are classed as hazardous waste. (£3 per can)

Tyres – Not accepted in general waste. Please let us know prior to removal if you need to include these with your booking

Asbestos – Extremely hazardous and must be removed by licensed professionals. Please let us know prior to booking
