I don't have room for the skip on my drive, can I place it on the road?

Normally you can, however, a licence from the local council needs to be applied for. The charge levied varies across the UK and so does the notice the council require. If you need a skip on council property (inc the Highway) then contact us and we can advise on the cost and procedure for your council.

I have no space for a skip and do not want to pay the council a licence fee, can you help?

Skip hire uk are more than happy to arrange a "wait and load" service where the driver will wait, whilst the skip is loaded. 20 minutes waiting time is included free of charge!

What access do I need to provide?

As the vehicles delivering to your house are LGV's and normally very large, please make sure that there is sufficient access to allow it in/out safely. If you are unsure, please contact us at Skip Hire UK and we can provide you with the approximate dimensions required.

Do I have to wait in for the skip?

Skip Hire UK can take a card payment at the point of ordering and therefore delivery can be made without you being on site (no more waiting in to give the driver the cash!).

What does the price of hiring a skip include?

The price from Skip Hire UK includes delivery, collection, disposal and hire for up to 10 days (prices are normally quoted excluding VAT).

Is my waste Recycled?

At Skip Hire UK we endeavour to make sure that at least 90% of our skips are sent to a MRF (Material's Recycling Facility) and anything that can be recovered will be sent for recycling.

I have seen documentaries and information about "rogue" waste traders. How can I be sure you dispose of my waste responsibly?

Skip Hire UK have Directors and investors with over 40 years experience in the waste industry, are fully licenced by the Environment Agency to deal in waste and use a network of suppliers that have all the appropriate documentation. This is regularly audited to ensure we are compliant with all current legislation. Copies of these documents are available on request.

How quickly can a skip be delivered?

Sometimes same day but certainly the next day if you call before 2pm
