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 help to book 4 to 12-yard skips online (14-day hire included) with our secure booking platform. If you need to extend the skip hire period, extensions are available for £30/day. For 20 and 40-yard RoRo containers, we can arrange this by phone for larger commercial waste volumes.

We are based in Medway and operate as an Environment Agency Upper Tier Waste Broker (CBDU596771). After placing an order, we match your order to a licensed local skip partner that can serve your Canterbury postcode with the right vehicle, delivery slot, and disposal route.

For on-street placement, you’ll need a highway permit from Kent County Council (KCC), and our team can handle the paperwork for you.

Select on-street placement during booking, and the permit cost is added automatically to your final total. Permits typically cost around £50–£110.

Skip Hire Prices in Canterbury

Our recent 90-day booking data show that the most common 4–12 yard skips in Canterbury cost between £220 and £445, depending on postcode, waste type, and hire length. 

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

The lady I booked through was so good, she advised me to book a medium skip which was perfect. Everything went well and the skip was delivered and picked up as expected.

Local Access and Delivery Notes in Canterbury

Canterbury has a mix of modern routes and tight historic streets, so access planning matters.

A few real-world tips that prevent failed deliveries:

  • Historic centre / tight streets: Places like Westgate Towers, where space is limited, we recommend opting for a wait-and-load option or early delivery.
  • Low bridges/narrow streets: Near Westgate Towers and other tight streets, consider wait-and-load (20–30 mins) to avoid extended bay suspensions.
  • Controlled parking / bays: if the skip needs to sit in a controlled bay or on-street area, you may need extra permissions in addition to the skip permit.
  • Driveway/off-road minimums: approx. 2.9m width x 4.0–5.0m length (8–12 yd needs more).
  • On-street clearance: allow ~6m length and keep clear of junctions, crossings and bus stops.

If you’re unsure whether your road can take a skip, mention it when you request a quote or speak to our team. We’ll check access and advise the best option.

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.

Most bookings are priced around a 7–14 day hire. If you need longer, you can usually extend, but the cost depends on the local partner and availability.

Yes, but it depends on the skip size and the weight limits for that waste stream.

Heavy waste, such as soil and hardcore, cannot be placed in larger “bulky waste” skips if it risks overloading.

Please select the correct waste type during booking so we can provide the appropriate service.

No. Skips must not be filled above the rim. Overfilled skips cannot be collected for safety and legal reasons, and this may cause delays or additional charges.

Based on recent 90-day booking data, the average skip hire cost in Canterbury ranges from £220 to £445 for 4 to 12 yard skips. Get RORO prices over the phone.

Our prices are based on recent local supplier rates and include delivery, collection, and legal waste disposal, with no hidden fees.

  • Overfilling (skip must be level-loaded for safe transport)
  • Mixing restricted waste (can cause refusal or extra charges)
  • Choosing the wrong size (small skips often get overfilled fast)
  • Placing a skip on-street without a permit (risk of enforcement and extra fees)
  • Blocking access (bus stops, junctions, driveways, crossings)

Some restricted items may need to be taken to a Canterbury Household Waste Recycling Centre (CT1 1HD), book a slot before visiting.
