We can often arrange same-day or next-day delivery, depending on availability and access at the delivery location. If the skip needs to be placed on a public road, a council permit must be approved first, which typically takes 24–48 hours, so we recommend planning this into your project timeline.

We offer a wide range of skip sizes to suit different waste volumes and project types. Options range from 4 yard skips for small household clear-outs through to 40 yard Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) containers for large commercial or construction waste. Our team can help you select the most appropriate size based on the type and amount of waste you are disposing of.

The standard minimum hire period is 7 days, which is suitable for most domestic and trade projects. If you require the skip for longer, hire extensions can usually be arranged by contacting our team before the scheduled collection date.

If the skip is placed on private land, such as a driveway or garden, no permit is required. If it needs to be placed on a public road or pavement, a council permit is legally required. We can apply for this on your behalf, with approval typically taking 24–48 hours, depending on the local authority.

You do not usually need to be on site for delivery, provided clear placement instructions are given in advance and access is unobstructed. Our drivers will contact you if there are any issues or if guidance is needed on safe positioning.

For safe delivery, driveways should be at least 8 feet (2.4 metres) wide and free from low-hanging branches, cables, or other obstructions. If you are unsure about access, our team can advise before delivery to prevent delays or failed drop-offs.

Some surfaces, particularly block paving or soft tarmac, can be more susceptible to marking or indentation. While care is taken during placement, we recommend using protective boards if you are concerned, and our team can offer guidance based on your surface type.

All skip hire is paid for in advance of delivery using our online booking platform. We accept all major credit and debit cards, and payment can be made securely online or over the phone to ensure a smooth booking process.

Skips must be level-loaded and not filled above the sides. Overfilled skips are unsafe to transport and may not be collected until excess waste is removed, which can result in additional charges. These rules are in place to protect both customers and our drivers.

Most non-hazardous waste can be placed in a skip, including:

• Bricks, rubble, concrete, and soil
• Timber and wood
• Glass and metal
• Green waste
• Plastics, paper, and cardboard
• Furniture and non-electrical fittings

If you are unsure about a specific item, we recommend checking with our team before loading.

Certain materials are restricted due to safety and environmental regulations. These include:

• Asbestos and clinical waste
• Gas bottles and fuel containers
• Oils, chemicals, solvents, and hazardous liquids
• Batteries and fluorescent tubes
• Tyres
• Plasterboard (specialist disposal required)
• Electrical and electronic equipment
• Paint and paint tins (unless completely empty)
• Explosives or pressurised containers

If you have restricted waste, we can advise on compliant disposal options.

Yes. We prioritise recycling and recovery wherever possible. Around 90% of the waste we collect is recycled, with the remaining material diverted to energy recovery rather than landfill, supporting responsible and sustainable waste management.

If your skip is placed in a public or accessible area, we offer lockable skips and RoRo containers to help prevent unauthorised use. This is particularly useful for longer hire periods or commercial sites.

If your project overruns, let us know as soon as possible. We can usually extend the hire period to suit your needs and avoid collection on the original date.

We offer limited Saturday delivery slots, subject to availability. Please contact our team to discuss weekend delivery options and secure a booking.

Yes. Trade and business accounts are available for regular waste producers, subject to eligibility. These accounts offer streamlined billing and tailored service arrangements to support ongoing commercial projects.

Choosing the correct skip size and understanding waste restrictions can prevent delays and extra costs. Our experienced team is available to provide clear, practical advice before booking, helping you plan confidently and stay compliant.
