Skip Hire in Cornwall

The price of a skip to hire depends on a few different variables. The actual cost of our skip hire is based upon your delivery location, the content of the skip (such as general waste, garden waste, plasterboard etc.) plus the size of the skip that you hire. It’s best to visit our online skip hire page for smaller, household skips, or speak to one of our team to make sure that you get exactly what you need.

When you hire a skip, there are lots of costs that have to be taken care of by us. These include things such as, the cost of the skip, the fuel to deliver and collect the skip, the driver’s wages, licenses, insurances, vehicle and skip maintenance, the administration team, land-fill or recycling costs. It all builds up, but we are still able to offer very competitive pricing for your local skip hire. To find the right skip hire for your requirements, please contact us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible or take a look at our Online Skip Hire page to see our pricing.

Taking your waste to a local tip (recycling centre) might initially seem a cheaper option than hiring a skip, but there are lots of things to consider; the cost of fuel going backwards and forwards with a car boot load of waste, the costs payable to the tip for certain materials, separating everything into the correct sections, your time involved in multiple trips. It can end up being quite a time-consuming and  expensive process. Talk to our team and you’ll find that our prices are very competitive.

Your waste shouldn’t exceed height of the skip. An overly full skip will be dangerous to our drivers, as well as the general public. We base our charges on a correctly filled skip, so if you overfill it, there will be additional charges. We offer various sized skips for hire and our team will help you to decide the best skip fit for purpose. Get in touch with the skip hire team today and they’ll be more than happy to help.

Our smaller skips are for general and inert waste such as soil, garden waste, paper, plastics, wood, old furniture etc. Any waste on the list in our terms and conditions cannot be placed in a general waste skip.

The typical rental period is 14 days and it is the responsibility of the hirer to request the collection within this time. If you need the skip for a bit longer, all we ask is that you give our dedicated Cornwall skip hire team some reasonable notice so that we can make alternative collection plans.
