Once your skip is collected, we provide a full waste transfer note, guaranteeing that your waste is processed legally and responsibly at a licensed facility.

Local Logistics & Oxford Compliance

  • Permit Assistance: If your skip needs to be on a public road, a permit from Oxford City Council is mandatory. We handle the paperwork and add the cost automatically to your final price. Takes 3 to 5 business days.
  • School Street Zones: We navigate Oxford’s specific vehicle restrictions near schools. Our drivers are trained to avoid “School Street” hours to ensure zero disruption.
  • Environmental Impact: All waste is processed at the Oxford City Waste Transfer Station, prioritizing recycling and minimizing landfill.
  • Event Blackouts: Deliveries may be restricted during the Oxford St Giles’ Fair or major university graduation weeks.

Your Skip Hire Questions

To ensure you’re ready for the entire skip hire journey, we’ve answered the top questions Oxford customers typically ask.
Our standard hire period is 14 days. If you need the skip for longer, please contact us to arrange an extension (subject to additional daily charges).

Only if the skip is placed on a public highway. If it is on your driveway, no permit is needed. We handle the Oxford City Council application for you if a permit is required.

Our recent 90-day booking data shows the average skip hire prices in Oxford range between £220 and £880, from a 4-yard mini skip to a 40-yard RORO container. The final cost is influenced by factors like duration, location, and waste type.

We can usually deliver the same day if you book early, or the next working day at the latest. Let us know your timing when you book and we’ll do our best to work around it.

If you’ve got space on your drive or private land, that’s ideal. If it needs to go on a public road, we’ll help arrange the correct permit from Oxford hire County Council so everything’s above board.

For a small flat clearance or garden job, the 4-yard mini skip is ideal, especially for tight streets in Jericho. For a full house or loft conversion project common in Summertown, the 8-yard builder’s skip is recommended.

If access is very restricted in the central OX1 area, consider the Wait-and-Load service.

Yes, for large-scale projects like building sites or home clearances, we can arrange multiple skips for your waste removal needs. We’ll assess your project and help determine the number and size of skips required. You can also opt for our RORO (Roll-On Roll-Off) skip for substantial waste loads.

If there are any issues with your skip, such as delayed collection or damage, please notify our support team immediately. We aim to resolve any problems as quickly as possible.
