Skip Hire Wait and Load Service

What is a wait and load ?

A wait and load is a fast and efficient method of waste removal. It is ideal if you do not have sufficient space to place a skip (eg a driveway or front garden).

These are an excellent alternative to having to apply for a skip road permit, potentially saving you hundreds of pounds in skip road permit costs and or bay suspension fees.

To book a wait and load service with us or check prices before you order, look at our book now page here. Remember when booking online please leave us a note in the special instructions box, stating you need a wait and load service.

The thing to ensure when ordering a wait and load skip service it make sure you are super organised and have your waste ready to load. You can see from the photo that these builders have stored all of their waste at the front of the property ready for the skip lorry to arrive and load the waste into.

This particular method of skip hire service is ideal if you do not have space for a skip, you have no driveway, garden, off street parking. or a privately owned area.

If you need the skip for a longer period of time you will need to get a skip road permit from the council, we can take care of this for you. You can check how to apply and how to renew for a skip road permit here

What to consider when ordering a wait and load ?

  • Ensure your waste is ready – If you ensure your waste is ready to be loaded when the driver turns up it would make the process run a lot smoother, this will also mean that you have more time to load as much as you can in the skip and not waste time on getting stuff ready to be put in the skip.
  • Skip size – Wait and loads can be done in different size skips. Please ensure that you choose the right size skip for the waste you are disposing of. For example bricks, hardcore and soil cannot be put in a skip larger than an 8 yard. If you need more guidance on skip sizes please visit our handy skip size guide or give one of our team a call on 0800 019 4530.
  • Ensure there is space – even though it is a wait and load you will still need to ensure that there is space for the skip to be placed and the lorry to park whilst the driver is waiting, the driver cannot go away and come back to collect, they must stay there the whole time. Generally speaking, you would need 3 car lengths of space to allow for the skip to placed down in the loading area.

How long will the driver wait ?

Typically speaking the normal time slot for a wait and load is 30 minutes. However this could change depending on the supplier’s policies and procedures. It could also be different for different sized skips. Some of our suppliers will do 30 minutes included in the price and then after that you could be charged per minute for drivers waiting longer for you to load. This is why it is very important that you have your waste organised and ready to load to avoid additional waiting time fees.

Does a wait and load cost more ?

A wait and load does not usually cost more than a normal skip delivery service, although we have seen some suppliers charge between £10 and £50 extra but this is rare.

A wait and load service can save you money as it avoids having to pay for council road permits and or bay suspension fees. Skip road permits can also take a considerable time to be granted by the council. Some councils can take up to three weeks to be approved.

Will the driver help me load ?

The driver is not at liberty to help you load the skip. It would be down to the individual driver’s discretion if he is asked. If you think you will need extra support loading, don’t hesitate to speak to us and we will do our best to try and accommodate your needs.
