We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Denbigh and within a 30 mile radius.
It’s not just a case of how much waste you have! You also need to consider how much room you have on your site and will then need to think about the type of waste you will be disposing of. For example if the waste is heavy (e.g. soil/brick/rubble) then you will be restricted as to how large a skip you can have.
When only a single skip is expected, we strongly believe that it’s better to hire a skip that you may not quite fill, as opposed to ordering a skip which ends up being too small meaning a second skip is then required as a result. In other words it’s better to overestimate than underestimate!
When filling a skip it can only be loaded up to the level of the actual skip itself.
It is important that your site foreman and operatives are aware of this as it is actually against the law for drivers to carry over loaded skips on the highways. Likewise, using boards around the skip in an attempt to increase it’s capacity (known in the trade as ‘greedy boards’) is illegal.
If a driver arrives on site to find an overloaded skip they are likely to turn away and leave without the skip, thus potentially incurring additional transport charges.
Though we try to be as flexible with hire periods as possible, as a general rule the maximum hire period is 7 days.
Of course should your site be an ongoing one where numerous skips are required and exchanged on a regular basis then there is nothing to worry about. If however, you require a skip that is likely to be needed for more than 7 days without exchanges, we request you inform us at the time of ordering as a rental charge may be applicable.
Yes. Though any skip that needs to be sited on a public highway, pavement or council owned verge, first requires permission from the local authority responsible.
Though the charges involved and the length of time it takes an application to be processed varies from council to council, in the vast majority of cases we can arrange the required permit on your behalf. Depending on the local authority in question, application periods can be anything from ‘same day’ to 4 weeks, so when you know that a permit is likely to be required on an upcoming site it is vital that you give us as much notice as possible to avoid any unnecessary delays.
Please also note that as the hirer, the lighting and coning of the skip whilst it is placed on public land is your responsibility, though we are usually able to arrange for the hire of these items on your behalf too.
A standard skip or roll-on-off vehicle usually requires a minimum of 10ft (3.3m) width and approximately 13ft (4m) headroom to safely gain access to a site. If your site access falls a little below these requirements we are able to (in most areas) arrange for smaller skips (depending on waste type) to be delivered on smaller lorries.
If you are in any doubt about the access to your sites, we are here to help, so just ask!
There are certain types of waste that cannot be placed in general waste skips under any circumstances.
Examples of such waste types include (but are not limited to): asbestos, fridges, freezers, batteries, tyres, gas cannisters, paint tins, food waste, fluorescent tubes, liquids, TV sets, computer monitors, plasterboard, electrical items (WEEE), mattresses, tree stumps, tree roots, carpet, vinyl, astroturf, rubber matting & roof felt.
It is vital that you always inform us of exactly what your are intending to dispose of at the time of ordering!

Skip hire in Denbigh
Denbigh — Dinbych in Welsh — is a market town in Denbighshire, north Wales, sitting on a hill above the Vale of Clwyd around nine miles south of Rhyl, with a population of around 9,000. Its Welsh name means little fortress, and the town grew around the castle built by Henry de Lacy from 1282 following Edward I's conquest of Wales. The castle's great gatehouse, with its triple towers and carved figure above the arch, is one of the most striking pieces of medieval military architecture in Wales.
The original medieval town stood inside the castle walls on the hilltop, and substantial stretches of those town walls survive, along with the ruins of Leicester's Folly — the shell of an enormous church begun by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, in 1578 and abandoned unfinished, intended to replace St Asaph as the cathedral of the diocese. The town gradually shifted downhill to its present site around the High Street and Vale Street, which retains a fine Georgian and Victorian character with the county hall and the arcaded shops.
Denbigh's most famous son is Henry Morton Stanley, born John Rowlands in the town in 1841, who grew up in the St Asaph workhouse and went on to become the journalist and explorer who found David Livingstone. Thomas Gee, the influential Welsh publisher and nationalist, was also a Denbigh man, and the town was a significant centre of Welsh-language publishing in the nineteenth century. The North Wales Hospital, a vast Victorian psychiatric hospital on the edge of town, closed in 1995 and its derelict Grade II listed buildings have been a long-running local issue.
The town sits on the A525 and A543, with the A55 North Wales Expressway around ten miles north giving links to Chester and Bangor. Denbigh lost its railway in the 1960s; Rhyl and Prestatyn are the nearest stations on the North Wales Coast Line. The Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape rises immediately east, with Offa's Dyke Path running along the hills. Neighbouring communities include St Asaph, Ruthin, Bodfari, Henllan, Trefnant and Llandyrnog.
Housing in Denbigh is largely traditional, with Georgian and Victorian stone and rendered property along the High Street, Vale Street and Love Lane — much of the centre a conservation area with a very high concentration of listed buildings — alongside older cottages within the walls, interwar and post-war council estates, and modern development on the lower slopes. The surrounding Vale of Clwyd is farming country with farmhouses and converted steadings. Property is affordable by UK standards, and the town serves as a market and service centre for a substantial rural catchment.
