How a hire runs
Four stops between your call and an empty drive. Most customers speak to us twice.
-
Book it
Price it on the finder or ring the yard. You get a delivery day there and then, not a call back.
-
We drop it
The driver sets it where you point, on boards to protect the drive. Road skips go out lit and coned.
-
You fill it
Seven days included. Keep it level with the top rail so we can sheet it for the road.
-
We take it away
Ring or text for collection. We weigh, tip and sort it here, and a swap can go down the same visit.
Find the size, see the price.
Pick the job and roughly how much there is. We size it by volume and by weight, then price it with the waste, hire length and placement you choose.
92% of what we collect never reaches landfill
Every skip comes back to our own yard in Swindon. It is tipped on the picking floor, sorted by hand and by grab, and sent on as crushed hardcore, chipped timber, compost and baled metal. Only what’s left goes to energy recovery.

Skip, grab lorry or man and van?
A skip isn’t always the cheapest way to shift waste. Here is when each one wins, with typical Swindon prices.
| Brackholt skip | Grab lorry | Man-and-van clearance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Waste that builds up over days | A big heap already on the ground | Small loads, cleared in one go |
| Price for about 6 yards | £265, seven days included | £300–£380 per load | £350–£450 by volume |
| Who loads it | You, at your own pace | The grab arm, in minutes | Their crew, charged by time |
| Heavy rubble and soil | Yes, up to 8 yards | Yes, its main job | Rarely, and priced high |
| Needs a permit on the road | Yes, and we handle it | No, it doesn’t stay | No |
| Access needed | A space the size of a car | Reach over a wall, up to 6 m | A door and a parking spot |

What they hired, and what they said after collection.
“Rang at eleven, skip was on the drive by nine the next morning. The driver put boards down so the block paving didn’t get marked.”
“We filled it with forty years of a parent’s house. They swapped it for a second one the same afternoon without any fuss.”
“Our road has no parking at all. They sorted the permit, turned up with the lights and cones, and the neighbours never complained.”
“Two loads of patio slabs and hardcore. The rubble rate was thirty quid under what I’d been quoted elsewhere for general waste.”
“Forty-yard roll-on for a shop strip-out. Swapped three times in a week, always on the slot we asked for.”
“Leylandii hedge, twenty metres of it. Green waste price, and they told us straight off the stumps would need a separate load.”

What you can’t put in a skip, and where it goes instead
Six things never go in a skip, and a few more cost extra. Here is the list, the reason for each, and the right route for all of them.

Putting a skip on the road: how the permit works
No drive? The skip can go on the street with a council permit. What it costs, how long it takes, and the rules while it’s there.
Questions about booking, loading and permits
Booking
How soon can the skip arrive?
Book a 2 to 12 yard skip before 2pm and we drop it the next working day, Monday to Saturday. Roll-on containers need two working days. A skip on the road waits for the council permit, usually three working days.
Do I need to be home for the delivery?
No. Tell us where it goes when you book — a photo helps — and leave the space clear. The driver will ring if anything is in the way.
What does the price include?
Delivery, seven days’ hire, collection, tipping and VAT. Extra weeks are £20 each. The only extras are a road permit if you need one and items like mattresses that cost us more to dispose of.
Can I keep it longer, or swap it for an empty one?
Yes to both. Extend by phone or email any time before collection. A swap (“exchange”) is the skip price again, minus the delivery charge, and happens in one visit.
What can go in
Can I put plasterboard in with everything else?
Not loose. Plasterboard has to be kept apart from other waste. Bag it separately in the skip and we charge £15 a bag to dispose of it correctly.
Why can’t rubble go in the bigger skips?
Weight. A 12 yard skip full of rubble would weigh far more than a skip lorry can lift. Heavy waste goes in 8 yards or smaller, and we price it on the cheaper rubble rate.
What is never allowed?
Asbestos, fridges and freezers, tyres, paint and solvents, gas bottles, TVs, monitors and batteries. Ask us about each of those: most have a proper route, just not a skip.
How full can I fill it?
Level with the top rail, nothing sticking up or over the sides. We have to be able to sheet it for the road, and an overfilled skip cannot legally leave your drive.
Permits
When do I need a permit?
Whenever any part of the skip sits on the public road or pavement. On your own drive or land you do not need one.
Who applies for it?
We do. You tell us the address and where on the road you want it; we apply to the council, pay the fee and pass it on at cost with no mark-up.
How long does a permit last?
Normally fourteen days. If you need longer, we renew it for you before it runs out.
Do road skips need lights?
Yes. Every road skip goes out with reflective markings, four cones and night lamps, which we supply and check. Please don’t move them.
Need it on the drive tomorrow? Book by 2pm.
Price it on the finder and book in two minutes, or ring the yard and talk to someone who knows the streets.
