Reliable Skip Hire for Garden Waste Near You

Garden upgrades, whether big or small, often generate more waste than expected. The Skip Hire Team made a secure online booking to order a garden skip in a few seconds, including a 14-day hire period.

To extend the hire period, please call our experts, and the cost is just £30/ day. With transparent pricing and flexible hire, we became the first choice in Medway and the South East of England for garden waste removal jobs.

As an EA-registered Upper Tier Waste Broker (CBDU596771), we partner with licensed suppliers all over the South East, who deliver garden skips on time. Our vehicles need clear access and a safe drop-off space. Please let us know about low trees, narrow lanes, or parking restrictions so we can plan the right vehicle for you.

Try to keep garden waste separate from DIY rubble or general waste. If your project involves a large amount of soil, consider our 4–6 yard heavy-waste option or a split plan, one skip for clean green waste and another for soil or hardcore to avoid overloads and keep disposal costs predictable.

What can and can't go in a garden skip?

Allowed (garden waste):

Grass, leaves, weeds (loose or bagged)
Hedge trimmings, small branches (cut down to fit)
Turf and soil in limited amounts (heavy when wet)
Plants and flowers (remove pots where possible)

Not allowed:

Japanese knotweed
Treated/painted timber
Liquids, paints, chemicals, oils
Plasterboard, electricals, tyres, gas bottles, batteries, asbestos

For hazardous items or anything you are unsure about, ask our team before you load. Check our guide for “what can and can’t go in a skip”.

We prioritise recycling and composting wherever possible. Green waste is sent for composting or mulching, which supports the UK goal to cut biodegradable waste to landfill, and soil is screened and reused where possible.

Tip: Do not place Japanese knotweed in any skip. It is a controlled invasive plant. If moved off-site, it must be handled by a registered waste carrier and disposed of at a suitably permitted facility.

Do You Need a Permit for Garden Skips?

No permit is required if you place a skip on private land or a driveway. However, if you need to place the skip on a public road, pavement, or grass verge due to limited space, a local council skip permit is required.

No worries, our team will handle all your permit paperwork. It usually takes 3 to 5 business days, and permit prices are set by local councils, typically ranging between £30 and £90 for periods of 7 to 14 days. So book early if the skip must go on the street.
