Reliable skip hire in Leicester.

You can in most cases have a skip for up to two weeks from the delivery date. You may give a chosen collection date at the time you make your order. Otherwise, you can tell us once you have loaded the skip, and we will organise your collection. Generally, this will be the following working day, although it can sometimes take a little longer during busy times.

The mini skip will be the most compact skip available from skip companies and is designed for smaller DIY tasks, garden clearances and general tidy-ups. For the majority of companies, the mini skip will be a 2 yard skip, that can contain the equivalent of roughly 25 black bags worth of rubbish.

Instead of a 2 cubic yard skip, some skip companies offer you a 3 yard as the smallest container. They will refer to this as being a mini skip, which can be a bit confusing. But rest assured, the price of hiring the skip depends on the actual size of the skip you order, so whether it is labelled as a mini skip or not won’t make a difference.

Ordering a skip should not be difficult. That is why we have made the order procedure as easy as possible. First, type in your postcode to view all the different skip sizes we are able to deliver to Leicester. Select the size you would like to order, and confirm whether it is going to be delivered on private property. Type in your information and make payment using our secure payment platform.

As soon as your order is done, we will send a confirmation email with your order information. You can then sit back and relax while we take care of the rest.

It is very important never to overload your skip, as you run the risk of being required to take off excessive waste before it can be collected. No matter what size you hire, you are only able to fill them to a level load. This is a basic safety requirement, since transporting an overloaded skip is dangerous, as materials could fall and lead to injury or damage to others.

To prevent this situation, please make sure you hire a size suitable for your waste removal needs. If the skip is full and you have more waste to dispose of, we are pleased to arrange an exchange.

Due to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electronic goods must be kept separate from general waste to get recycled or disposed of safely and securely. This can include all electric items including washing machines, televisions, kettles, tablets and even hair straighteners.

The builder’s skip may refer to either the 8 or 6 yard skip. They are the biggest skips that can be used to get rid of heavy building and demolition waste materials such as rock, concrete, rubble or soil.

The builder’s skip is great for a wide array of projects. Whether you are getting an extension built, renovating your kitchen or cleaning out the shed, these substantial containers tend to be the most affordable option available.

This will depend on the skip size you require and whether you will need a council permit. As you would expect, the smallest skip (the 2 yard mini skip) is the cheapest option. The most expensive and largest option is the 40 yard RORO container, which is used mainly in commercial settings.

We provide a UK wide skip hire service through a network of verified and fully licensed local businesses. So whether you are looking for skip hire in Leicester, Market Bosworth, Ibstock, Melton Mowbray or any other site in Leicestershire, we are able to help.

When your skip is ordered, we will try our very best to deliver it for you on a date that suits you. We will typically give you a next day delivery service for orders arranged prior to 3pm on Monday to Friday. This is subject to having the skip placed on private property, as to be on public property (like a highway), you will need to get a skip permit which may take a couple of days to arrange.

As a result of many factors that may impact our service, we can never guarantee an exact delivery time. Having said that, we will always aim to let you know whether you can expect it arriving in a AM or PM slot.

Once your skip is full and ready for collection, we will pick it up and transport it to a nearby waste transfer station, where it will be processed. The waste gets segregated into a range of waste streams, which includes timber, metals and plastics. This helps to ensure as much of the collection can be recycled as possible. Our company is proud of our commitment to the environment by sending as little waste to landfill as possible!

We offer a full-range of skip sizes to match your particular needs, from 2 to 40 cubic yards. The smallest skip is the 2 yard mini skip, a compact skip ideal for modest DIY tasks and domestic clearances. A popular choice for larger sized tasks, refurbishments and building work is the 8 cubic yard skip.

For Leicester companies with a significant quantity of bulky waste materials, we can supply RoRo containers (roll on roll off skips), ranging from 20-40 cubic yards in size.

If you require help choosing which size skip you need, take a look at our useful skip size comparison.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) containers are large industrial scale skips used predominantly within the commercial sector. They are available in 20-40 cubic yards, making them excellent for organisations that generate large amounts of waste.

If you are getting a skip delivered to your home, it is always best to be in at the time the skip is delivered. You can then ensure that the skip lorry has full access and that the skip can be placed exactly where you want it. The same is true when you have a skip delivered to business premises, especially when gates restrict access.

However, when this isn’t achievable, you don’t have to stress. Simply tell us when making your booking, and we will take care of the rest.

Since we provide a UK-wide waste management service, we utilise a comprehensive network of verified and approved companies. These range from small family-run skip hire businesses to nationwide waste management providers. Each of our service providers are vetted to ensure they satisfy our high customer service and environmental expectations.

Generally, the majority of skips can be supplied with a drop down door, dependant upon skip size, availability and area. If you need a drop down door, be sure to tell us when ordering your skip.

Ordering a skip with a drop door is mainly useful when hiring a large builder’s skip, as it means that you can wheelbarrow your rubbish directly into the skip. This is not as important for midi and mini skips, as they are low enough at the ends for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

Your skip can be used to dispose of a variety of types of waste. We are used to picking up and handling lots of materials from building work, garden landscaping and household clearances. Some examples of allowed waste products include:

• Home furniture
• Garden trimmings
• Garden soil
• Bricks
• Bathroom suites
• Kitchen cabinets and units

The majority of waste materials are usually permitted, therefore whether you want to dispose of furniture, plastic materials, timber or old toys, we can normally take your waste away.

The quantity and waste types you put in your skip can vary depending on which size skip you have chosen. All skips have a maximum weight limit for safety reasons. So if you need to get rid of soil and bricks, for example, the biggest size container you will be permitted to hire will be the 8 cubic yard skip.

Is there anything that I can’t put in the skip?

There are some materials you will not be allowed to discard in your skip. The main reason for this is that some goods contain hazardous components that may cause harm to the environment. They may also be dangerous to human health, so they need to be discarded separately within UK legislation.

Some of the products which are restricted include:

• Paint
• Solvents Refrigerators
• Gas cylinders
• PC screens
• Battery packs
• Car tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

If possible, you should have the skip left on a hard surface. If you are doing a domestic job, then your drive is going to be ideal. When it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the ideal solution. Having said that, when neither is available, the street or grass verge may be your only option. As this is public property, you will have to get a permit from the local authority. This is called a skip permit, and will be needed for a skip to be located on the road, grass verge or any other public property in Leicester. If this is needed, we will request the permit to be issued on your behalf. An additional charge, paid to the local authority, will be added to the cost of your skip.
