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 £780 (for a 4-yard mini skip to a 40-yard RORO). Use our online skip price calculator to get live prices.

You can throw in most types of household, garden and building waste:

  • Old furniture and wood
  • Soil, bricks, rubble
  • Metal and plastic
  • Cardboard and packaging
  • Green waste
  • Bathroom fittings

NOTE: there are a few things we can’t accept for safety and legal reasons: asbestos, tyres, fridges, paint tins and gas bottles

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.
