Your Skip Hire Questions Answered – Folkestone Area

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

On average, skip hire costs in Folkestone start from £180 to £850 for 4-yard to large 40-yard skips. Get an instant online quote for exact pricing based on your skip size, rental period, waste type and location.

Placing a skip on private property, no permit needed. If you are placing a skip on public roads/pavements, a permit is required, and we will arrange your Folkestone & Hythe District Council permit for £50 to £90 (typically takes 3 to 5 working days).

Make sure you do not place these items in a skip:

  • Asbestos – Hazardous; specialist removal required.
  • Electrical items (WEEE waste) – TVs, fridges, freezers, computers, etc.
  • Batteries – All types, including car and household batteries.
  • Paint, solvents & liquids – Flammable and toxic materials.
  • Gas bottles or cylinders – Pressurised and potentially explosive.
  • Tyres – disposed of separately.
  • Plasterboard (large amounts) – Restrictions apply unless separated.
  • Clinical or medical waste – Includes sharps and pharmaceuticals.
  • Oil, fuel, or chemicals – All liquid hazardous waste is banned.
  • Fluorescent light tubes – Contain hazardous materials
  • Mattresses – Usually not accepted or may incur a surcharge.
  • Hazardous materials – Pesticides, adhesives, and industrial chemicals.

We offer a standard rental of 14 days (flexible extensions available with us). Need it for longer or want to extend the period? Please call our experts.

First, make sure you choose the right size for your waste removal jobs – going too big means paying for unused space. Second, split the costs with neighbors by sharing a skip. Third, ignore weekend bookings, demand and prices are higher on weekends, try to book mid-week.

Unfortunately, the answer is NO. Skips cannot be relocated. Even empty skips weigh several hundred kilograms, and when filled, they become too heavy. Please choose your placement carefully.

Due to safety concerns, fill only to the rim level. We can’t collect overfilled skips, and additional charges may apply. Need more space? Upgrade to a larger size.
