Skip hire FAQs.
We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Hull 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 Hull
Hull — formally Kingston upon Hull — is a city in East Yorkshire, sitting where the River Hull meets the Humber estuary, with a population of around 270,000. It was founded by the monks of Meaux Abbey as a port for exporting wool and acquired by Edward I in 1293, who renamed it King's Town upon Hull and developed it as a supply base for his Scottish campaigns. Its position on the Humber made it one of England's principal ports for seven centuries.
Hull's defining industry was deep-sea fishing. The city's distant-water trawler fleet worked the Arctic grounds off Iceland, Norway and Greenland, and at its peak Hull was one of the largest fishing ports in the world, with Hessle Road's fishing community forming a distinct society of its own. The industry was destroyed by the Cod Wars of the 1970s, and the triple trawler tragedy of 1968, when three ships were lost in three weeks with 58 men, prompted the headscarf revolutionaries — a campaign led by Lillian Bilocca and other fishermen's wives that forced through major safety reforms.
The city has a strong record of dissent and reform. Hull refused Charles I entry at the Beverley Gate in 1642, the first overt act of defiance of the English Civil War. William Wilberforce, who led the parliamentary campaign to abolish the slave trade, was born in Hull in 1759, and his birthplace on the High Street is now a museum. Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia, grew up in the city.
Hull suffered severely in the Second World War — around 95 per cent of its houses were damaged or destroyed in the Blitz, proportionally among the worst hit of any British city, though wartime reporting referred only to a north-east coast town. Post-war rebuilding reshaped the centre. The city's other landmarks include the Humber Bridge, the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world when it opened in 1981; The Deep, a striking aquarium on the estuary; and Hull's distinctive cream telephone boxes, a legacy of its independent municipal telephone company, the only one in Britain.
Hull was UK City of Culture in 2017, a year that transformed perceptions of the city and drove substantial investment. It sits at the end of the M62 and A63, with Hull Paragon Interchange giving services to Leeds, Doncaster and London King's Cross. Housing ranges from Georgian property in the Old Town and the Avenues to vast terraced districts built for the fishing and dock workforce, interwar and post-war estates at Bransholme — one of Europe's largest council estates — and modern development around the marina and the Fruit Market quarter.
