Local Access & Delivery in Dover

  • Tight town-centre streets: For roads around High Street, Biggin, Cannon, and Castle Street are busy, with buses and parked cars. Static skip is not practical, so we suggest hiring a wait-and-load service. 
  • For narrow residential roads like Tower Hamlets Road, Maxton and parts of Buckland have steeper gradients and tight corners. Choose the most suitable vehicle size and agree a clear space for the lorry, so the driver can get in and out safely without damaging walls, cars or verges.
  • Streets with controlled parking or marked bays require a bay suspension. Please confirm before booking. We check your parking restrictions in advance and advise whether a bay suspension is needed
  • Permit Duration: Dover District Council permits can sometimes take longer due to coordinating with highways agencies on major routes, so it is essential to plan ahead.

Tip: Contact us if you are unsure about a specific type of waste. Our experts can advise on specialist disposal services.

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.

How does skip hire work in Dover?

Here’s how it works in practice:

  1. You enter your CT16 or CT17 postcode to check live skip prices 
  2. You choose your skip size, delivery date and skip placement, then book securely online.
  3. We assign your booking to a licensed, insured local depot that covers your postcode efficiently. They deliver the skip, collect it when it’s full and take the waste to a licensed transfer station for sorting and recycling.

Because we work with multiple depots, we can usually offer:

  • Faster availability during busy periods
  • Shorter travel distances, reducing fuel use and emissions
  • Options for both domestic and commercial customers, from one-off clear-outs to ongoing site work

For booking, call us at 0800 260 5989 or order a skip online to get started.

FAQs about skip hire in Dover

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 90-day booking shows the average skip hire cost ranges between  £220 and £795 for 4 to 40 yard skips. Prices are calculated based on the specific transport costs to your CT postcode and the weight and type of waste you are disposing of.

The fastest way to get an accurate figure is to enter your postcode and check the live prices before you book.

A skip permit is required only for on-road skip placement, not if it’s fully on your driveway or private land.

We help you get it done through Kent County Council Highways, with a small fee of £50–£90 for 14 days, and it takes 3 to 5 business days.

Plus any bay suspension charges from Dover District Council where controlled parking applies. 

Yes. Roads in areas like Tower Hamlets, Maxton and parts of Buckland are narrow, and our partners use smaller trucks where needed.

Share any access concerns when you book and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

For safety and legal reasons, don’t fill higher than the fill line. If the driver arrives and the skip is overfilled, they may not be able to lift it. You might be asked to remove excess waste, pay for an extra skip, or incur a wasted journey charge. 

For a small flat or garden tidy-up, our 4 yard mini is enough. 6 yard builder’s skips suit most kitchen or bathroom refits and 8 yard skips are best for heavier builders’ waste.

Larger 10–12 yard skips work well for bulky, light waste in house or office clearances.
