We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Rhyl 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 Rhyl
Rhyl — Y Rhyl in Welsh — is a seaside town in Denbighshire on the north Wales coast, sitting where the River Clwyd meets the Irish Sea, with a population of around 26,000. It was a scattering of fishermen's cottages on a sandy spit until the mid-nineteenth century, when the Chester and Holyhead Railway arrived in 1848 and Rhyl was rapidly developed as a resort for the industrial towns of Lancashire, Cheshire and the Potteries.
Growth was extraordinary. Within a few decades Rhyl had a three-mile promenade, a pier, pleasure gardens, a marine lake, theatres and hundreds of boarding houses, and it became one of the busiest holiday destinations in Britain. The Rhyl Pavilion, the Queen's Palace — an enormous glazed winter garden — and the Marine Lake with its miniature railway drew millions. The town's heyday ran from the late Victorian period through to the 1960s, when cheap package holidays to Spain began to erode the British seaside trade.
That decline hit Rhyl harder than most. The large Victorian boarding houses were subdivided into flats and bedsits, and the town came to have some of the most deprived wards in Wales. Sustained regeneration has followed — the SC2 waterpark, the 1891 Pavilion Theatre, the Rhyl Air Show and the redeveloped seafront and Queen's Market have all been part of a long effort to reposition the town, alongside significant housing renewal to convert poor-quality HMOs back into family homes.
Rhyl retains genuine assets: a long sandy beach, the Marine Lake Railway — the oldest miniature railway in Britain, running since 1911 — and the Rhyl Miniature Railway Museum. The Clwydian Range rises inland, and Rhuddlan Castle, one of Edward I's Welsh fortresses with its remarkable canalised river approach, stands three miles south.
The town sits on the A548 with the A55 North Wales Expressway a short distance inland, and Rhyl station on the North Wales Coast Line gives services to Chester, Crewe, Llandudno and Holyhead — Chester around 40 minutes east.
Housing is dominated by the resort era, with large Victorian and Edwardian terraces and former boarding houses across the town — many long converted into flats and HMOs — alongside interwar and post-war council estates and modern development on the edges. Property is among the most affordable in Wales, and the conversion and re-conversion of that large period stock has been central to the town's regeneration programmes.
