Get Reliable Skip Hire Southampton: Fast, Licensed & Locally Trusted

At Skip Hire Team, we are a trusted and reliable choice for booking a skip online at affordable prices in Southampton with full end-to-end support. 

Our customers tell us the hardest part of hiring a skip is the hidden fees and unreliable collections. That’s why we built our system to live prices, real availability and confirmed delivery windows.

As an EA-registered Upper Tier Waste Broker (CBDU596771), we work exclusively with licensed local suppliers to deliver skips to customers’ doorsteps. Many skips are delivered on Fridays for weekend DIY jobs. If you want to skip a weekend, reserve by Wednesday to secure your spot.

Over 95% of the collected waste is recycled at Veolia’s Marchwood Energy Recovery Facility, ensuring your project remains compliant and environmentally responsible.

We handle everything, from applying for Southampton City Council skip permits to arranging flexible collection times that fit your schedule. Over 40% of our local bookings require a council permit.

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.

Skip hire prices in Southampton typically range from £185 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 placement isn’t allowed; hire a wait-and-load skip.

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.
