Your Skip Hire questions

  1. 01

    Do any of the skips have doors for easy access?

    Some of our 6 and 8 cubic yard skips do. We have some 4 cubic yard skips with doors too (however, we cannot guarantee we will be able to get you one of these – although we will try!) The small 2 cubic yard skips do not have doors. If you require a skip with a door please specify this at the time of ordering.

  2. 02

    How long can I have the skip for?

    Ideally a maximum of 2 weeks. However, we realise the good old British weather can slow jobs down – if you contact the office we can extend this to 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, there is a weekly hire charge.

  3. 03

    Where can the skip be placed?

    We need 9’ (275cm) width for our wagons to get through and the skip can go on most firm, level ground (please remember, the wagon needs to be able to remove the skip when it’s full and much heavier). If the skip is to be placed on a road or grass verge, we would need a licence from the Council.

  4. 04

    Can the skip go on the road or grass verge?

    Yes, just let us know and we will apply for the licence from the council. These take 3 days for the application to go through and last for 14 days. If the licence is needed sooner, the Council charges an additional fee.

    We will provide lights and cones with the skip but you will need to make sure that they remain in place and working.

  5. 05

    What can I put in the skip?

    General mixed construction - Furniture - Cardboard - Green waste - Wood - Rubble and soil

  6. 06

    What can't I put in the skip?

    Oils - Gas bottles - Asbestos - Tyres - Fluorescent tubes - Paint - Fridges or freezers - Animal waste - Shot blast - Chemicals - Reinforced concrete

  7. 07

    What about plasterboard?

    Due to Government Legislation, plasterboard cannot be mixed in with other types of waste. However, if you can separate the plasterboard - we find dumpy bags really useful for this - and pop it inside your skip, we will take it away for you but there will be an additional charge. You can also hire a skip specifically for plasterboard only, please enquire for prices.

  8. 08

    Do we recycle?

    Yes! We are very proud of our recycling totals. Find out more about how we recycle here.

    Are we registered waste carriers?

    Yes – Registration No: CBDU137776

    Is our site licensed with the Environment Agency?

    Yes – Permit No: EPR/DB3807MJ
