Access and Delivery Notes for Kent

All our trusted local partners understand the challenges of Kent’s mix of historic towns and rural lanes.

  • Rural lanes: Some areas near Cranbrook and Tenterden can be narrow, choose our small skip
  • Market days: Canterbury markets (Thursday & Saturday) may require timed deliveries.
  • Low bridges: Be mindful around Tonbridge High Street.
  • Delivery reliability: 96% on-time based on our last 90 days of bookings.
  • Recycling: All the waste is processed at licensed facilities such as Aylesford Waste Recovery, helping divert over 90% of materials from landfill.
  • Bay suspensions/CPZ: Apply in Canterbury, Maidstone, and Tunbridge Wells; timing 8 AM–6 PM.

If your skip needs to go on a public road, a permit from Kent County Council Highways is required (typically £50–£90, valid 14 days, lead time 3–5 days). Our experts will arrange for you. Placing on private land (driveway or site) to save time and permit costs.

We’ve covered the most frequently asked questions from skip sizes and costs to permits and what you can (and can’t) throw away.

Based on recent bookings, the average skip hire cost in Kent ranges from £220 to £850 for sizes from 4 yards to large 40-yard skips. Prices vary depending on your postcode, skip size, hire duration, type of waste, and any permit or bay suspension required for on-road skips.

No. We believe in transparent pricing, so everything is included in the price you see upfront. If anything changes (like extending your hire or needing a permit), we’ll always let you know before charging anything extra.

No static skips allowed; we recommend choosing the wait-and-load service instead.

Yes, if your skip needs to be placed on a public road or pavement, a permit from your local council is required. Don’t worry, we can organise this for you during the booking process.

Overloading a skip is a safety risk, and we may not be able to collect it if waste is piled above the fill line. You might also be charged extra. To avoid this, make sure everything stays within the sides of the skip. Not sure what size you need? We can help, just give us a call!
