We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Towyn 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 Towyn
Towyn is a coastal village in Conwy county borough, north Wales, sitting on low-lying land between Abergele and Rhyl, with a population of around 3,000 and a continuous built-up area with neighbouring Kinmel Bay. The name derives from the Welsh tywyn, meaning sand dunes or seashore, and it describes the landscape exactly — Towyn sits on flat coastal marsh and dune land, much of it only just above sea level, protected by a sea wall and the embankment of the North Wales Coast railway.
That geography has shaped the village's history dramatically. In February 1990 a severe storm combined with a high spring tide breached the sea wall, and the sea poured through a 400-metre gap, flooding around four square miles of land and some 2,800 homes. Around 5,000 people were evacuated, and it was one of the most serious coastal flooding incidents in modern British history. The disaster led to major investment in sea defences along the north Wales coast, and flood resilience remains a defining local concern.
Towyn is best known as one of the largest concentrations of caravan and holiday parks in Britain. From the mid-twentieth century the flat coastal land between Abergele and Rhyl filled with static caravan sites serving holidaymakers from Merseyside, Manchester and the Midlands, and during the summer the area's population swells many times over. Towyn's fairground and amusements, including the long-established Tir Prince Raceway — a harness racing track and fun park — are central to the local tourism economy.
The village church of St Mary, built in the 1870s to a design by G.E. Street, is a notable Victorian building with an unusual group of church, school and lychgate designed as a single composition. The coast here is part of a continuous stretch of sandy beaches running from Pensarn to Rhyl, with the North Wales Coast Path along the sea wall, and the Clwydian Range and the Vale of Clwyd rise inland.
Towyn sits on the A548 coast road with the A55 North Wales Expressway a short distance inland, and Abergele and Pensarn and Rhyl stations nearby give services to Chester, Crewe and Holyhead. Housing is dominated by bungalows and modest post-war and later housing, alongside the extensive static caravan and park home sites, with an older population profile and property among the more affordable in north Wales.
