Mixed Waste

With a general mixed waste fill, you can put the following in a skip of any size:

Household waste (typical waste you'd put in your local bin). Scrap metal. Bricks. Dry waste. Wood. Plastic. Hardcore. Paper. Concrete. Mattresses. Glass.

Garden Waste

With a garden waste fill, you can dispose of the following:

Grass. Leaves. Twigs. Weeds. Soil. Turf. Lawn. Logs. Gravel. Bricks. Paving slabs.

Non-Permitted Waste

You might incur additional charges if you fill your container with waste that is not allowed. You cannot put the following into a skip with a mixed waste or garden waste fill:

Aerosols. Asbestos. Batteries. Degassed whitegoods (fridges and freezers). Oil or fuel. Types. Medical waste. Light tubes. Hazardous waste. Liquids. Paint. Tumble dryers. Microwaves. Explosives. Fire extinguishers. Fire damaged waste. Food waste. Human or animal waste. Electronic waste (Televisions, monitors, laptops). Gas bottles. Plasterboard (small quantities might be allowed).

4 and 6-yard skips are sufficient for small domestic DIY jobs and clearances. On the other hand, 10 and 12-yard skips and larger ones are suitable for major construction waste and clearouts of large buildings, like offices, shops, warehouses, etc.

Please note: You cannot put a skip on the pavement. You need a licence to put it on a public road. Our hire suppliers are responsible for obtaining the permits in most areas, but there are some locations you'll need to do it yourself. The delivering company might also need to use safety lights and markings. You can contact your local council to find the exact rules for permits, lights, and markings in your area.

 

 


Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth getting a skip?

Yes, hiring a skip is worth it, especially if you have a lot of waste to dispose. It will save you a lot of trips to the tip and back.

How much is it to hire a skip UK?

You can hire a skip for as little as £5 a week! You can book a skip through our website online.

How long can I keep a skip for?

You can keep a skip for as long as you require. But, It is worth checking how long the permit will last, as it may run out after 14 days.

Can I fill a skip with soil?

Yes you can fill a skip with soil. It is best to disclose this upon booking either as soil can weigh a lot in large quantities and the trucks may struggle to lift the skips.

Can I put paving slabs in a skip?

Yes, paving slabs can absolutely go in a skip, along with the rest of your garden waste such as grass, weeds, and soil.

From 1st April 2022, our suppliers will only fuel machines with white diesel. This is due to new government guidelines.

If you, as the hirer, refuel any equipment while it is in your possession, it must be with WHITE DIESEL.

YOU MUST NOT USE RED DIESEL IN HIRED MACHINES OR EQUIPMENT.

If you return a machine refuelled with rebated diesel, suppliers will have to remove and dispose of the fuel. They must also flush the tank and supply lines before they can refuel them. The process is chargeable, with no exceptions.

An insurance charge will be calculated at checkout. If you have proof of your own Hired-In Plant Insurance (HIPI) and wish to opt-out of the insurance charge, you can do so by booking via Live Chat.
