Skip Hire FAQs

What size skip do I need for my waste?

Choosing the right skip size depends on the volume and type of waste you’re disposing of. For small household clear-outs, a 4-yard skip is ideal, while 8-yard and 12-yard skips suit larger renovations. For commercial or construction waste, builders’ skips (10-16 yards) or roll-on roll-off skips (20-40 yards) may be required.

How much does skip hire cost?

Skip hire costs vary based on the skip size, location, rental duration, and whether a permit is needed. Prices typically start from £220 for a small skip, with larger skips costing more. Contact us for a quote tailored to your needs.

Do I need a permit for skip hire?

If you plan to place your skip on a public road or pavement, you’ll need a skip permit from your local council. We can arrange this for you as part of our service. No permit is required for skips placed on private property.

What can and can't go into a skip?

You can dispose of general household waste, garden waste, furniture, wood, metal, bricks, and rubble. However, hazardous materials like asbestos, tyres, fridges, paints, batteries, and chemicals are not allowed. Check our full waste restrictions list before hiring.

How long can I keep a skip for?

The standard skip hire period is 28 days, but we offer flexible hire durations to suit your needs. If you need a skip for longer, let us know when booking.
