The cost of skip hire varies depending on the size of the skip you need, the type of waste you’re disposing of, and the duration of the hire. We provide clear, all-inclusive quotes with no hidden fees, so you know the exact price upfront. Contact us for a competitive quote tailored to your specific project.
Choosing the right size is key to cost-effectiveness. We offer a range of skip sizes, from small mini-skips for garden clearances to large builders’ skips for renovation waste. Our team can advise you on the perfect size based on your project to ensure you don’t pay for space you don’t need.
For safety and environmental reasons, certain items are prohibited. These typically include:
- Asbestos
- Batteries
- Clinical/Medical Waste
- Electrical Appliances (WEEE) like fridges and TVs
- Fluorescent Tubes
- Gas Canisters
- Hazardous Chemicals & Paints
- Tyres
- Mattresses (often require separate disposal)
If you are unsure, please ask our team for guidance.
Generally, no. Mattresses, fridges, freezers, and other electrical appliances (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment or WEEE) cannot be disposed of in a standard skip due to special processing requirements. However, we can often arrange separate collection for these items—please enquire when you book.
If you plan to place the skip on a public road, such as a street or pavement, you will likely need a permit from the local council. If the skip is being placed on private land (like your driveway or private yard), you do not need a permit. We can advise on and often manage the permit application process for you.
For safety during transport, it is a legal requirement that your skip must not be filled above the top of its sides. This is known as the “fill line.” Overfilled skips can pose a serious hazard to other road users and our drivers, so we cannot collect skips that exceed this limit.
While a man-with-a-van might seem cheaper initially, skip hire is often more cost-effective and reliable for larger volumes of waste. With a skip, you pay a single, transparent price for disposal. With some man-with-a-van services, there is a risk of fly-tipping, for which you could be held responsible, or hidden costs for proper disposal.
- Choose the Right Size: Avoid hiring a skip that’s too large for your needs.
- Load Efficiently: Break down large items and flatten cardboard to maximise space.
- Sort Your Waste: Keep recyclable materials separate, as they can sometimes be cheaper to dispose of.
- Avoid Prohibited Items: Contamination with hazardous waste can lead to extra charges.
A skip is delivered and left with you for a hire period, allowing you to fill it at your own pace. A grab lorry uses a hydraulic arm to lift and remove a single large load of waste in one visit. Grab lorries are better for large, bulky amounts of inert waste (like soil or rubble), while skips are more flexible for mixed waste over several days.
We are committed to environmental responsibility. Over 90% of the waste we collect is sorted and recycled, diverting it from landfill. We work with licensed facilities to ensure materials are processed correctly and given a new life wherever possible.
