We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Mansfield 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 Mansfield
Mansfield is a town in Nottinghamshire, sitting on the River Maun around 14 miles north of Nottingham, with a population of around 110,000. It grew as a market town on the edge of Sherwood Forest — Mansfield was a royal manor and the administrative centre of the forest, with the king's foresters based here — and it received its market charter in 1227. The market still trades in the Market Place beneath the Bentinck Memorial.
The town's industrial history was framework knitting, textiles, brewing and above all coal. Mansfield sat at the heart of the Nottinghamshire coalfield, and the surrounding communities at Mansfield Woodhouse, Rainworth, Clipstone and Shirebrook grew around collieries. The pits gave the area a distinctive place in the 1984-85 miners' strike: the Nottinghamshire coalfield largely continued working, and the Union of Democratic Mineworkers was founded in Mansfield in 1985 after the breakaway from the NUM — a division that still resonates locally.
Mansfield's most striking structure is the Mansfield Viaduct, a fifteen-arch stone railway viaduct of 1875 running right through the centre of town, and one of the largest in any English town centre. The town also has a fine Georgian Moot Hall, the Old Meeting House of 1702, and a remarkable Victorian legacy in the Mansfield Museum and the town's public buildings. Mansfield sandstone, quarried locally, was used in the Palace of Westminster and buildings across the country.
Sherwood Forest and the Dukeries lie immediately around the town — Sherwood's Major Oak, the tree associated with Robin Hood, is a few miles north at Edwinstowe, and the great estates of Welbeck, Clumber, Thoresby and Rufford make this one of the densest concentrations of aristocratic parkland in England. The Welbeck tunnels, dug by the eccentric 5th Duke of Portland, run for miles beneath the estate.
Mansfield sits on the A38 and A60 with the M1 to the west, and Mansfield station on the Robin Hood Line — reopened in 1995 after the town spent decades as one of the largest in England without a railway — gives services to Nottingham and Worksop. Housing ranges from Georgian property around the Market Place to Victorian terraces and colliery housing across the town and surrounding villages, interwar and post-war estates at Ladybrook and Bellamy Road, and modern development on former colliery land, with property among the more affordable in the East Midlands.
