Reliable skip Hire in Canterbury

We know what matters when you’re booking a skip in Canterbury: speed, simplicity and real help.

From St Dunstan’s and Hales Place to Bridge and Chartham, we supply 4–12 yard skips for home clearances, light refurb projects, and builder’s waste (including 14 days; extensions available £30/day). For 20 or 40-yard RoRo containers, please book by phone.

Canterbury’s centre has tight streets and resident bays, so plan access for lorries and tell us about any bay suspensions or CPZ restrictions on your road. Our team will advise the safest placement (driveway, on-street with permit, or wait-and-load).

We are EA-registered Upper Tier Waste Broker (CBDU596771) and partner with licensed suppliers familiar with all local roads, access restrictions, and take pride in delivering skips on time and transferring loads to permitted transfer stations and regional MRFs, with diversion from landfill typically 80–95%, depending on the mix.

As part of our commitment to offering affordable skips compared to market rates, recent data shows that the range is between £210 and £780

Why Choose Canterbury Skip Hire Team

  • Permit assistance: On-driveway hires are quickest. For on-street placement, a highways licence is required from Kent County Council (KCC) and our experts will handle your paperwork.
  • Parking controls: Canterbury City Council CPZ areas may require a bay suspension for on-street placement.
  • Customer reliability: Our Canterbury runs have maintained high on-time performance across the last quarter.

Tip: Canterbury HWRC (Vauxhall Road, CT1 1HD) can take certain items we can’t. Check their guidance and book a slot before visiting.

Things to Know

Key Questions

Got questions? We’ve tackled the most common ones, including skip sizes, costs, permits, and what you can and can’t dispose of.

Same-day or next-day for CT1–CT3 when stock allows. For same-day delivery, book before 10 am or early morning.

Static placements are possible but space is tight. We often suggest early-morning delivery or wait-and-load to keep things moving.

KCC permits usually take 3 to 5 business days and are renewed weekly if needed.

Recent bookings show that in the last 6 months, most customers choose a 6 yard or 8-yard skip. If on-street, we’ll check CPZ/bay rules and arrange the permit.
