Skip hire in Edinburgh

Meeting your requirements

Here is a listing of things to consider when hiring a skip:

What size do I desire? See our skip sizes tab, here you’ll find lots of information about skip sizes, we always recommend a slightly larger skip as it is always more cost effective than hiring two smaller.

The skip should be loaded level to the sides, extra costs may be incurred if the skip is overloaded and the driver can refuse to take it if it is deemed unsafe.

How long will I need my skip for? Our skips are usually 2 weeks hire, we can collect earlier and in the event that you need one more ask us and we’ll see what we can do for you. 

There are a few things that most skip hire companies do not take. They can vary but as a general rule they include the following:

• Asbestos
• Turf
• Mattresses
• Automobile Tyres
• Fridge Freezers
• Gas Bottles
• Plasterboard
• Pots of wet paint
• Animal waste
• Food waste
• TV’S/Monitors

Where will my skip be placed?

If you don’t have a garden or a driveway for a skip and require a skip to be put on the public highway, you will need a road license. We can organise these for you with Edinburgh Council.
