Skip FAQs

Skips for scrap
Scrap metal skips are available at a minimal cost and sometimes even for free, depending on transport and the volume of metal.
General
What size skips do you offer?
We provide a range of skip sizes, from mini skips (2 yard) to large roll-on roll-off skips (40 yard), suitable for various waste disposal needs.
How do I know which skip size I need?
The right skip depends on the type and volume of waste you have. Contact us for advice on choosing the best option.
How long can I keep the skip?
Our standard hire period for domestic use is 14 days and for trade it is 28 days. We can arrange longer hires if needed, which is chargeable.
Do I need a permit for a skip?
If you plan to place the skip on a public road or pavement, you will need a permit from the local council. We will arrange this for you.

Prices vary based on the skip size, location and type of waste. Contact us for a free quote.
What goes in
What can I put in the skip?
You can dispose of general household waste, garden waste, wood, plastics, bricks and rubble. You may also request skips for scrap metal. These are available at a minimal cost and sometimes even for free, depending on transportation costs and the volume of metal contained.
What items are not allowed in the skip?
We cannot accept hazardous waste, asbestos, batteries, chemicals, paint, tyres, fridges, gas cylinders, food or medical waste.
What happens if I overfill the skip?
Overfilled skips cannot be collected for safety reasons. Make sure waste stays within the top edge of the skip.
Do you recycle the waste collected in skips?
Yes, we aim to recycle as much waste as possible to reduce landfill impact.
Delivery and collection
How soon can you deliver a skip?
At quieter times we may be able to offer next day delivery, but usually within a few working days at the most.
Do I need to be present when the skip is delivered?
No, as long as we have clear instructions on where to place the skip.
Can the skip be placed on my driveway?
Yes, as long as there is enough space and no access or height restrictions.
What happens if my skip is full before the hire period ends?
We do not automatically collect on the day the hire period ends. Please contact the office to book a collection or replacement.
Will my skip arrive with a drop door?
Not unless you ask for one when you order. A drop door is very useful for barrowing in soil, rubble, hardcore or bricks. Our 2, 4 and 8 yard skips can be supplied with one, but availability is limited so we cannot guarantee it.
Can you guarantee a delivery time?
We cannot guarantee a particular time, because traffic, roadworks and vehicle maintenance can cause delays. If you ask for an AM or PM delivery we will do our utmost to deliver within that slot.
More services
Do you offer wait-and-load?
Yes, our wait-and-load service is ideal for sites where a skip cannot be left overnight.
Can you provide skips for commercial or construction projects?
Yes, we supply skips for builders, contractors and businesses.
Can I hire multiple skips at once?
Yes, we can provide multiple skips for larger projects.
