  • On-street clearance: 5.5m length, 1m from kerb, away from junctions.
  • Areas like St Mary’s Road, Dorset Street, and the A33 Western Esplanade comes under several “No Stopping” Red Routes. For these locations, we recommend choosing the “Wait and Load” service, where the driver waits while you fill the skip.
  • Areas like Old Town or the narrow streets near the General Hospital, access for a standard 18-tonne skip lorry can be difficult. We recommend to smaller 7.5-tonne or 12-tonne vehicles.
  • If your road has height restrictions (like the 3.9m bridge at Bevois Valley) or is particularly narrow, please flag this during booking. We can also advise on parking bay suspensions if you need to place a skip in a permit-only zone.

Skip Hire Questions? We’ve Got You Covered!

From skip sizes to what you can (and can’t) throw in…here’s everything you need to know to book the right skip.

Our previous 90-day booking figures show the average skip hire prices in Southampton range from £180 to £755 (for a 4-yard mini skip to a 40-yard RORO). Use our online skip price calculator to get live prices.

No, mattresses cannot be put in a standard skip due to UK recycling regulations. They contain various materials (metal, foam, fabric) that must be segregated for responsible recycling.

Placing a mattress can contaminate the load and is subject to additional handling fees or even refusal of collection.

For safety reasons, skips must be level-loaded. If your skip is overfilled (waste rises above the top metal rail/sides), the driver may not be able to collect it. To avoid delays or extra charges, always choose the right size skip.

Static skips aren’t allowed on Red Routes. We suggest using a Wait and Load service for these specific areas.

Yes! Just give us 24hours’ notice before your delivery data!

Note: if your order has already been processed, there’s a £30+VAT cancellation fee to cover admin and logistics.

It’s easy,  just call or message us once you’re finished or book a collection online. We’ll arrange an early pickup, often within 24 hours.

Yes, we often can, provided you book early and have a driveway or private land to place the skip on.
