If you need fast and reliable skip hire in Chelmsford, from Great Baddow to Springfield and all the surrounding villages, we are here to help.

We streamline the entire process with our simple and secure online booking system, which accommodates all common skip sizes and waste types in the CM postcodes.

After booking, we instantly match your order with a trusted, licensed local partner depot in the Chelmsford area, based on your specific postcode, skip size, and type of waste. Need extra time? Extend your hire for just £30 per day.

This means lower fuel emissions, quicker delivery times, and often better availability, especially during peak seasons or in popular areas like Moulsham Lodge or the town centre. Delivery windows are available between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday

We are not a physical skip depot; we are a dedicated, licensed waste broker registered with the Environment Agency under registration number CBDU596771, working with multiple trusted local partners, which significantly reduces travel distances.

A council permit is required if placing it on any public road, pavement, or verge. Choose skip placement at the time of booking.

We can arrange this for you. Lead time is typically around 5–7 working days, and the cost is approximately £60 to £120 (subject to change by Chelmsford City Council). 

Major roads, such as the A12 and A138, are designated red Routes, where stopping or loading is prohibited. Please confirm with our experts before booking, and we will recommend a safe alternative or go with a wait-and-load service.

Your Skip Hire Questions Answered

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

Our recent booking data shows the average skip hire costs in Chelmsford range between £220 and £780 for a 4-yard mini skip to a large 40-yard RORO container.

Final prices vary by postcode, skip size, hire duration, waste type, and whether a council permit or bay suspension is required for on-street placement. Use our skip size calculator to check live local prices and choose the right skip for your project.

While it’s rare, skips can sometimes leave marks or cause damage, especially on softer surfaces like tarmac or block paving. To reduce the risk, we recommend placing wooden boards down before delivery. If you’re unsure, our team can advise the best setup for your space.

For a small house or garage clear-out in a tight street, a 4-yard mini skip hire in Chelmsford is usually enough.

For a major home renovation, such as a full kitchen or bathroom strip-out, an 8-yard builder’s skip is the most common choice.
