We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Wrexham 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 Wrexham
Wrexham is the largest settlement in North Wales. It lies close to the English border, about 12 miles south of Chester, between the Welsh hills and the Cheshire Plain. The wider built-up area has a population of around 65,000, and the county borough has around 135,000. Wrexham was granted city status in 2022 as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. It had grown from a medieval market town into the commercial and industrial centre of the region.
Wrexham's most famous landmark is St Giles' Church. Its elaborate 16th-century tower is traditionally counted among the Seven Wonders of Wales. Elihu Yale, the benefactor of Yale University, is buried in the churchyard, and a copy of the tower stands on the Yale campus in the United States. Just south of the city is Erddig, a National Trust country house famous for showing the lives of its servants as well as the family who lived there.
The city grew on heavy industry, including coal mining, ironworking, brickmaking and brewing. John Wilkinson's ironworks at nearby Bersham made cannon and cylinders for early steam engines. In 1882 Wrexham Lager became one of the first lager breweries in Britain. The coalfield also saw tragedy, most notably the Gresford Colliery disaster of 1934, in which 266 men died. Today, Wrexham Industrial Estate is one of the largest in Europe and a major local employer.
Wrexham is known around the world for its football. Wrexham AFC, founded in 1864, is the oldest club in Wales. Its Racecourse Ground is recognised as the oldest international football stadium still in use. Since Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the club in 2021, the Welcome to Wrexham documentary has made the city famous worldwide, and a run of promotions has lifted the club up the football pyramid. The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Llangollen Canal are a short drive away.
Wrexham General station is on the Chester to Shrewsbury line, with services to Chester, Shrewsbury, Cardiff and Holyhead and some direct trains to London Euston. The Borderlands Line links the city with Bidston on the Wirral. The A483 runs along the city's edge, connecting it to Chester and the M53 to the north and Oswestry and mid Wales to the south. Homes range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the centre to large post-war estates such as Caia Park. There are also newer family developments on the outskirts and in villages such as Gresford, Rossett and Marford.
