Skips are hired for up to 7 days. If you fill the skip before this time, you can call us and we
will collect it sooner. For a longer hire period, please call 01302 86 86 81 and ask one of our
friendly team.
The price depends on the size of skip that you hire. Please use our handy calculator to work
out what the price would be.

You can pay by debit or credit card when ordering over the phone or online. We also accept cash or cheque on delivery.
However, the cheque must have cleared before the skip will be collected.

Garden waste etc. however, please remember that weight limits apply. If you are unsure as to what you can put in your
skip please call the office on 01302 868681 and we will be happy to clarify.

Due to the weight of the skips and the stabilising equipment of the lorry, damage is
sometimes possible. However, our drivers are trained to minimise risk. If you are concerned
about the damage please contact us or mention at the time of booking.
Please note: once we vacate the highway, you automatically agree to indemnify us for any
damage that occurs whilst on your property
Yes, we can place skips on a road. However, for skips that need to be placed on the road,
footpath or grass verge, we have a legal requirement to apply for a permit with the local
council. This normally takes 24hrs and there is a charge, depending on which council you
come under. Check with the office when ordering. As an alternative option to this, you may
want to consider our Wait & Load service.
A. Wait & Load is a service we offer at no extra cost. When the driver delivers the skip, he will
then wait for up to 30 minutes while you to fill the skip. He will then take it away. This
eliminates the need to obtain permits, and is also ideal if you don’t want a skip sitting
outside your house.
A. By law, skips must be loaded no higher than the sides of the skip. The use of boards to
build the sides up is prohibited. Most importantly, the skip must be loaded securely and
responsibly so that it is safe for road transport. The laws governing the acceptable use of
skips can be found in the Highways Act 1980 – section 139 road traffic regulations act 1984.
If any items are considered to be overflowing or dangerous, our staff will remove them
before the skip is taken away.
Call us to let us know you have finished with the skip. Our driver will then come to collect,
usually within 48 hours. The skip is then taken to our waste transfer station where it will be
processed for recycling.
