Domestic skip hire

We offer a skip service for your domestic property which is for all general household items.

What type of skip will I get?

This skip we supply has a capacity of 6 cubic yards and when filled with rubble or soil is likely to weigh 6 to 8 tonnes. You will need to be aware of the weight of the container if it is going on your driveway as the combined weight of a loaded skip and vehicle could be up to 18 tonnes.

What can I put into the skip?

All general household items can go into the skip.

The only items that can not go into the skip are things that are classed as dangerous or hazardous. This includes asbestos, plasterboard, tyres, monitors, televisions, fridges and liquid wastes (oils and paints).

Where can I put the skip? Do I need a licence?

You can place your skip on your own property without a licence. However, you will need a licence for the skip if it is placed on roads, grass verges or adopted highways.

If you are unsure about licensing, please contact us, using the details at the bottom of the page.

How much will it cost?
