We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Worksop 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 Worksop
Worksop is a market town in the Bassetlaw district of north Nottinghamshire, close to the borders with South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. It has a population of around 44,000 and sits on the River Ryton and the Chesterfield Canal, about 16 miles south-east of Sheffield. The town is known as the "Gateway to the Dukeries". The name refers to the great ducal estates of Clumber, Welbeck, Thoresby and Worksop Manor that surround it on the northern edge of Sherwood Forest.
Worksop's oldest landmark is the Priory Church of St Mary and St Cuthbert, founded by Augustinian canons in 1103. Its twin-towered nave still dominates the eastern side of the town. The 14th-century Priory Gatehouse nearby is one of the finest surviving monastic gatehouses in England. The town centre is a conservation area, with Georgian and Victorian buildings around the Old Market Square, Bridge Street and Potter Street. Mr Straw's House, a National Trust property, preserves an ordinary family home exactly as it was in the 1930s.
The area has a varied economic history. Worksop was once known for growing liquorice. It later became a centre for malting, timber and brewing, and in the 20th century it was surrounded by collieries such as Manton and Shireoaks. The pits have gone, and today the town is a busy hub for logistics, food production and manufacturing, helped by its position near the A1 and M1. Worksop Town FC, founded in 1861, is one of the oldest football clubs in the world.
Worksop has some of the best countryside in the East Midlands on its doorstep. Clumber Park, with its lake, woodland and famous Lime Tree Avenue, is just to the south-east. The Welbeck estate is home to a farm shop, galleries and the Harley Gallery. Creswell Crags, a limestone gorge with the only known Ice Age cave art in Britain, lies a few miles west. The Chesterfield Canal towpath offers easy walking and cycling right through the town.
Worksop station sits on the Sheffield to Lincoln line and is the northern end of the Robin Hood Line to Mansfield and Nottingham. The A57 and A60 pass through the town, and the A1 and the M1 are both within a short drive, giving quick access to Sheffield, Doncaster, Nottingham and the wider motorway network. Homes range from Victorian terraces near the centre and former colliery housing to inter-war and post-war estates. There are also larger family homes on the edges of town and extensive new-build developments at Gateford and elsewhere around Worksop.
