Eastbourne has a real mix of waste jobs. Some customers need a small skip for a seaside flat or terraced home. Others need a builder’s skip for renovation work, garden projects, landlord clearances, shop refits or commercial waste. Our job is to make the process easier before the skip arrives. You can check the sizes available for your postcode, book online and ask us for help if the job is not straightforward.
We’ve made skip hire booking simple, secure and quick. Our standard skip hire includes up to 14 days. If you need the skip for longer, extra hire time may be available from £30 per day.
When your skip is ready, book collection online or contact the team. If you need more time, ask before your hire period ends.
Choosing the right skip depends on the waste type, how much space you have and whether the skip will be filled with light bulky waste or heavy materials such as soil, rubble, bricks or concrete.
A 4 yard skip is a good choice for small jobs where space is limited. It is often used for garden waste, bathroom waste, small DIY projects and light household clear-outs.
Approx. capacity: 35 to 45 bin bags
Best for: small clearances, garden waste, bathroom waste, tiles and light DIY rubbish.
A 6 yard skip is often better for heavier waste. It is commonly used for kitchen refits, bathroom refits, rubble, soil, bricks, tiles and mixed builders’ waste.
Approx. capacity: 55 to 65 bin bags
Best for: renovation waste, soil, rubble, bricks, tiles and smaller building jobs.
An 8 yard skip is one of the most common choices for building and renovation work. It gives more room than a 6 yard skip while still being practical for many domestic and trade jobs.
Approx. capacity: 75 to 85 bin bags
Best for: builders’ waste, larger DIY jobs, refurbishment waste and bulky household waste.
A 10 yard skip is better suited to bulky but lighter waste. It is often used for furniture, packaging, larger household clearances and light commercial waste.
Approx. capacity: 90 to 100 bin bags
Best for: house clearances, furniture, packaging, shop waste and lighter bulky waste.
A 12 yard skip is useful for larger clearances where the waste is bulky and light. It is not normally suitable for heavy loads of soil, rubble, bricks or concrete because of lifting weight limits.
Approx. capacity: 110 to 120 bin bags
Best for: large clearances, office waste, bulky household waste and light commercial waste.
For larger commercial, construction or industrial waste jobs, call Skip Hire Team for 20 and 40 yard RORO skip quotes.
If your job involves restricted access, heavy waste, plasterboard, upholstered furniture, commercial waste, a road placement or a RORO container, contact the team first.

Before booking a skip in Eastbourne, think carefully about where the skip will be placed.
Skip delivery in Eastbourne can vary depending on the property type and road layout. Town centre streets, seafront roads, shared entrances, flats, controlled parking areas and narrow residential roads can all affect where a skip can be placed.
A driveway or private land is usually the easiest option. If access is tight, the road is busy or the placement area is not clear, contact us before booking so the team can check the most practical option.
If the skip needs to go on a public road in Eastbourne, a highway skip licence is usually required through East Sussex Highways. Skips cannot be placed on the pavement. If the skip needs to go in a parking bay, yellow-line area or controlled parking location, a parking bay suspension or extra permission may also be needed. Tell us before booking if:
This helps avoid problems before delivery, especially with road permits, restricted waste, weight limits and tight access.

You do not always need to be home if clear placement instructions are provided and the skip can be delivered safely. If access is difficult, the skip is going on the road or the driver may need guidance, it is better for someone to be available.
Standard skip hire includes up to 14 days. If you need the skip for longer, extra hire time may be available from £30 per day.
Plasterboard often needs separate handling and should not be mixed with general waste unless agreed before booking. Contact us first if your project includes plasterboard.
Yes, but heavy waste is usually better suited to smaller skips such as 6 or 8 yard skips. Large skips can become too heavy to lift safely if filled with soil, rubble, bricks or concrete.
