A skip is one of the most convenient ways to manage rubbish during any project. With a skip placed on your property or by the roadside, you can dispose of waste safely and efficiently. Once the skip is full, our team will collect it promptly, ensuring your project stays on track.

Not sure which size you need? Our knowledgeable team will recommend the best option to save you money and ensure you have enough capacity.

If your skip must be placed on a public road, a permit from the council will be required. We’ll guide you through this process and make sure everything is handled correctly.

Skip Hire Guide

[+] What size do I need?

The volume of our skips is measured in cubic yards as follows, Mini - 2, Midi - 4, Small Maxi - 6, Large Maxi - 8.

1 cubic yard holds approximately 765 litres or around 10 average bin bags.

Unlike some other skip hire companies, who supply maxi skips that are 6 or 7 cubic yards, our skips are true to size.

The size you need also depends on how much you break down your waste and pack it into the skip, such as bulky furniture etc… But remember all skips no matter the size must be filled level with the sides. We are unable to collect overfull skips due to the waste not being contained within the skip and deemed as a dangerous load when driven down the road.

Access can also determine the skip size you need. We operate 3 different sizes of skip trucks (3.5, 7.5 and 18 tonne gross vehicle weight). If you have a tight driveway and have heavy material to dispose of (such as bricks or soil), you will need to hire a smaller skip so our smaller trucks can lift the full skip. Please contact us for advice.
