We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Mold 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 Mold
Mold — Yr Wyddgrug in Welsh — is a market town in Flintshire, north Wales, sitting on the River Alyn around 12 miles west of Chester, with a population of around 10,000. It is the county town of Flintshire and the administrative centre for the area. The Welsh name means the burial mound, referring to the Bailey Hill at the top of the town — a substantial Norman motte-and-bailey earthwork, now a public park, that gave the town its origin and both its names.
Mold's most remarkable discovery was made at Bryn yr Ellyllon, the Goblins' Hill, just outside the town in 1833. Workmen quarrying a Bronze Age burial mound uncovered the Mold Cape — a ceremonial garment beaten from a single ingot of solid gold, around 3,700 years old, decorated with thousands of punched bosses imitating strings of beads. It is one of the finest examples of prehistoric sheet-goldwork in Europe and is held by the British Museum, with a replica in Mold's library. Local legend had long spoken of a golden ghost haunting the mound.
The town's parish church of St Mary is a fine Perpendicular building of around 1500, and its churchyard holds the grave of Richard Wilson, the landscape painter regarded as the father of British landscape art, who was born in Flintshire and died in Mold in 1782. The town is also closely associated with the novelist Daniel Owen, the most significant Welsh-language novelist of the nineteenth century, who was born and lived here as a tailor; a statue of him stands outside the library and the Daniel Owen Centre carries his name.
Mold is home to Theatr Clwyd, one of the largest producing theatres in Wales and a significant regional arts institution, and the town holds a large weekly market and an annual food festival. The Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape rises immediately to the west, with Moel Famau and Offa's Dyke Path close by.
The town sits on the A541 and A494, with the A55 North Wales Expressway a short distance north and Chester around 20 minutes east; Mold lost its railway in 1962, and Buckley and Chester are the nearest stations. Housing ranges from Georgian and Victorian property along the High Street and Wrexham Street — the centre is a conservation area with a substantial number of listed buildings — to Victorian terraces, interwar and post-war estates, and modern development on the edges, with Chester and Deeside commuting supporting demand.
