Skip Hire Essex

Choosing what size skip to choose for any job can seem daunting if it’s not something you do regularly. There are different types and various sizes of skip for different purposes. And most skips have more than enough capacity for typical jobs. You can find out more in our ultimate guide to skip hire, or sometimes it is best to just contact our team who will be happy to help and advise.

For same day skip hire please contact our office to see if we can help. We always try to meet customer needs and will attempt to get skips out early if required urgently. To avoid disappointment and ensure availability we advise booking in advance, however our team is constantly delivering and collecting skips throughout Essex so we can often fit you in wherever possible.

You only need to arrange a skip permit if you want to keep the skip on a public road, rather than a driveway or private land. Contact your local council for more information about skip permits and costs. You can find a list of Essex borough councils here.

Our skip hire prices are very competitive and you can use our online booking system for instant quotes. Or please feel free to contact us with any enquires or questions. In general, the cost of skip hire depends on the size of skip you need, what you want to use it for, and more importantly, what you will be putting in it.

A skip full of general waste is more difficult and time consuming to sort, plus there will probably be more rubbish that is not suitable for recycling and may need to be sent to land fill sites - which is more costly for waste transfer stations.

We accept all types of credit and debit card, or accept cash on delivery. Regular or commercial customers can be invoiced on arrangement, and we can arrange bank transfers when required.

The cost of delivering and collecting a skip is included in your complete hire cost, so there are no additional or hidden fees in our prices. You can arrange a delivery date and time when you book your skip, and contact us when you want the skip collected. Our fleet of delivery trucks can be seen travelling throughout the Essex area on a daily basis.

The best thing about skips is the fact you can put almost all types of household rubbish and general waste in them - and most of that will go on to be properly sorted and recycled wherever possible.

For that reason there are obviously certain items that are considered as hazardous or dangerous due to potential harm or contamination. We have listed these below for your information.

Typical items not allowed in skips:

• Asbestos
• LPG bottles
• Gas canisters and gas bottles
• Liquids
• Oil, petrol, diesel
• Paint & Cans of paint
• Tyres
• Human or animal waste
• Clinical or medical waste - inc syringes Hazardous & toxic materials
• Food waste
• Fridges, freezers and air conditioning units TVs & computer screens
• Electrical appliances & equipment Batteries
• Fluorescent tubes
• Plasterboard

If you need to dispose of any of the above, please do so responsibly. Often this can be handled at your local waste and recycling centre. More information for your local area can be found on the GOV website.

Yes we are proud to work with a number of organisations to recycle and repurpose as much of your rubbish as possible. From waste transfer stations to wood and rubble merchants, we operate responsibly with an aim to actively minimise the amount of junk that has to go to landfill.
