All the collected waste from Reading jobs goes to approved recycling facilities such as Smallmead Recycling Centre, diverting roughly 95% of materials from landfill.

Local Quick Facts

  • Permit: A Skip permit is required for on-street skips (issued by Reading Borough Council; charge £55–£95 and takes 3–5 working days lead time). Our team will handle your paperwork.
  • Parking zones: Controlled Parking Zones in central Reading require bay suspensions with an additional daily charge determined by RBC. Please let us know before placing an order we help to get it done.
  • Access: For narrow lanes in Caversham Heights and low bridges (like at Cow Lane), we recommend choosing smaller skips or the Wait and Load service.
  • On-time deliveries: 99% of skips in Reading were delivered on schedule in the last 90 days.

Please note: Our prices are accurate because we don’t guess, based on hundreds of real orders from local Reading suppliers in the last 90 days. That’s how we keep quotes fair and up to date.

Key FAQ's About Skip Hire

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

The lowest price is usually the 4-yard Mini Skip placed on a private driveway. 

Yes, but we recommend using small mini skips or the wait-and-load service for narrow lanes in Caversham Heights, or restricted zones like Cow Lane, to ensure safe access.

For short jobs in CPZs (Controlled Parking Zones) or around the town centre, Wait and Load Skip Hire is often significantly cheaper and faster, as it bypasses the permit fee and daily Bay Suspension charges entirely.

Yes, we provide competitive rates and priority service for registered builders and construction companies operating across the RG postcode area. We specialize in large RORO container swaps for major sites.

Absolutely no problem in this. If you don’t have off-road space, we’ll apply for a Reading Borough Council permit, so your skip can be placed safely on the street.

Skip hire costs vary depending on several factors. Based on recent bookings in Reading, skip hire prices range from £225 to £850 for 4-yard to large 40-yard skips. To get the latest prices for your area, use our skip size and price calculator now.

Our prices are based on live bookings from local Reading suppliers, so you always see accurate, up-to-date rates, no inflated quotes.

Overloading can lead to extra charges or refusal to collect. It’s important not to exceed the skip’s weight or fill limits.

Skips can go on private driveways, front gardens, or on-street (with a permit).
Make sure there’s at least 2.5m width for delivery access.
