We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Walsall 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!

Local area guide
Skip hire in Walsall
Walsall is a large town in the West Midlands, around eight miles north-west of Birmingham, and the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall. It grew from a medieval market town into a major industrial centre during the nineteenth century, built on limestone quarrying, coal mining, and above all leatherworking — Walsall became the country's leading producer of saddles, harnesses and leather goods, an industry it still maintains today, supplying saddlery to the Royal household.
The town centre is focused on the Old Square and Park Street, with the historic open-air market trading along the High Street and Digbeth. Landmarks include St Matthew's Church, which sits on a hill above the town, the Grade II listed Town Hall and Council House, and the New Art Gallery Walsall, home to the Garman Ryan Collection with works by Epstein, Van Gogh and Monet. The Walsall Leather Museum records the town's defining industry, while the Walsall Arboretum provides 80 acres of Victorian parkland close to the centre.
Walsall is well connected, with the M6 running through the borough and junction 10 sitting immediately west of the town, plus links to the M5 and M54. Walsall station offers services to Birmingham New Street, Wolverhampton and Rugeley, and the Midland Metro passes through nearby Wednesbury. The wider borough takes in Bloxwich, Willenhall, Darlaston, Brownhills, Aldridge, Streetly, Pelsall, Rushall and Pheasey, with Sutton Coldfield and Cannock Chase within easy reach.
Housing across Walsall is varied, with Victorian terraces close to the town centre and in Caldmore, Palfrey and Pleck, interwar semis across Rushall, Pheasey and Bloxwich, larger detached homes in Aldridge, Streetly and Little Aston, and substantial post-war estates at Beechdale, Blakenall and Goscote. Property is comparatively affordable for the region, which supports a strong market in renovation and buy-to-let refurbishment, and the borough has ongoing regeneration work including new housing on former industrial land and improvements around the town centre and Walsall Waterfront.
That mix of older housing stock and steady refurbishment work keeps skip hire in Walsall in regular demand, whether it's a full house renovation in Caldmore, a garden clearance in Aldridge, an extension in Streetly, a bathroom refit in Bloxwich or a unit strip-out on one of the industrial estates around Darlaston or Willenhall. Skips come in a range of sizes to suit everything from a small domestic clear-out to a large building project, and while many suburban homes have driveways where a skip can be placed without a permit, the town's terraced streets often have no off-road parking, so a permit from Walsall Council will be required where the skip has to sit on the highway. Booking a few days ahead helps secure the right size and allows time for any permit to be arranged.
