Skips

Six ways to get rid of it.

Seven skip sizes from a 2-yard mini to a 12-yard maxi, roll-on roll-off containers for sites, and wait-and-load for streets where a skip would not last the night. Every price includes fourteen days, delivery, collection, tipping and VAT.

All six

2–3 yd

Mini skips, 2 and 3 yards

The skip for a bathroom rip-out, a shed full of rubbish or a weekend in the garden. Small enough for most drives and narrow terraced streets, and takes heavy waste like tiles and soil. From £170 for fourteen days, delivered and collected.

A 2-yard mini £170 and a 3-yard mini £195, for fourteen days with delivery, collection, tipping and VAT.

4–5 yd

Midi skips, 4 and 5 yards

Our most hired skip: a kitchen rip-out, a loft, a big garden job or a small house tidy. Takes forty to fifty bin bags of waste, light or heavy, and still fits on most drives. From £225 for fourteen days.

A 4-yard midi £225 and a 5-yard midi £245, for fourteen days with delivery, collection, tipping and VAT.

6–8 yd

Builders' skips, 6 and 8 yards

The skip you see outside every extension: six or eight yards, for rubble, blocks, timber and the waste from building work. On the drive, or on the road with lights, cones and a council permit we apply for. From £265.

A 6-yard builders' skip £265 and an 8-yard £295, for fourteen days with delivery, collection, tipping and VAT. A road permit is extra, by council.

12–40 yd

Maxi skips and roll-on roll-off

A 12-yard maxi for a whole house clearance or a shop refit, and 20 to 40-yard roll-on roll-off containers for building sites and factories. For bulky, light waste: no soil or rubble. From £385.

A 12-yard maxi £385 for fourteen days. Roll-on roll-off from £520 for 20 yards, priced by the tonne above four tonnes.

by the hour

Wait-and-load

No room for a skip, no time for a permit, or a street where a skip would not last the night? The lorry brings a skip, waits up to an hour while you load it, and takes it away. No permit needed. From £210.

Wait-and-load from £210 for a 6-yard skip and up to an hour.

the list

What cannot go in, and why

Fridges, televisions, gas bottles, asbestos, paint, tyres, batteries and plasterboard mixed in with everything else: what cannot go in a skip, the law behind each, and what we can take separately, with the prices.

Mattresses £30, fridges and freezers £45, tyres £10 each, collected on the same lorry. Plasterboard free if kept separate.

On the day

Boards down, skip down, and a waste transfer note.

The driver checks the spot, lays scaffold boards under the feet on any drive or patio, sets the skip down where you want it, and leaves a waste transfer note, your proof that the waste went to a licensed site. When you ring for collection, it goes the next working day, and is tipped and sorted at the station in Hirwaun.

Order by two. On your drive tomorrow.

Pick the size, tell us where it goes, and Glyn or one of the drivers drops it with boards under it. Fourteen days, collection, tipping and VAT in the price, and the permit sorted if it goes on the road.
