Skip Hire Rates

An enclosed skip is the safest available skip because it will stop contents falling out and prevent dust flying up when waste is put into the skip.

If your skip isn’t filled and its contents aren’t stable, cover with dampened or netting to prevent inside waste materials from blowing out.

Midi Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.

If you do need to place a skip on the road or highway make sure the skip is placed in a position where it won’t become a danger to road users.

It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.

Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of skip.

Never fill a skip with waste materials that could present a potential fire hazard or cause an explosion. Also, materials that could release toxic fumes, pose a health or environmental hazard should not be thrown into a skip.

Make sure that waste materials don’t stick out from the sides of the skip. This can pose a potential hazard for road users or pedestrians.

Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.

If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.
