Book skip hire in Southampton in minutes. Enter your postcode to get instant prices across SO14–SO19 and choose a delivery date that suits your project. Skip Hire Team is based in Medway and operates across the South East as an EA Upper Tier Licensed Waste Broker (CBDU596771), arranging delivery through vetted local suppliers and managing permits when road placement is needed.
Skip Hire Team offers end-to-end support for Southampton skip hire, from booking to collection. We don’t rely on a single depot. Instead, we maintain a network of vetted, licensed local skip partners across Southampton, so your booking is matched to the nearest supplier with the right skip size and availability.
Where suitable, waste is taken to licensed facilities such as Veolia’s Marchwood Energy Recovery Facility to support compliant disposal.
We handle everything, from applying for Southampton City Council skip permits to arranging flexible collection times that fit your schedule. Permit approvals typically take a few working days, so book early if the skip must go on-road.
Skip hire pricing in Southampton depends mainly on skip size, waste type, and whether you need an on-road permit. Based on recent bookings, small domestic jobs (like a bathroom refit) often fall in the £180–£245 range for smaller skips, while 6–8 yard skips, commonly used for heavier waste, typically cost around £305–£330.

We aim to divert as much waste as possible from landfill. For a full list of rules, see our what you can and can’t put in a skip guide.
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.
It varies by council workload and location, but plan for a few working days if you’ll place the skip on-road.
(Best practice: book early and share the street name.)
You may need both a skip licence and a suspended bay depending on the exact location. Southampton publishes pay-and-display suspension pricing at £14 per bay/day (where applicable).
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.
Often yes, depending on local supplier availability and whether permits are required. The fastest path is booking by postcode and choosing the earliest available date.
We regularly arrange deliveries across Southampton, including areas that fall under the city’s locality groupings such as:
Our Southampton skip partners work across the city, the docks area, and the surrounding suburbs, helping with everything from small DIY projects to major refurbishments.
