Skip Hire

Waste Management Disposal

National Tool Hire can supply 4 to 12-yard open skips across the UK for DIY and Trade. You can order a skip to fill with either general mixed waste or garden waste, which you select in the calendar.

Skip bins are ideal for:

• Large construction sites.
• Building work at home.
• Refurbing, refitting, or clearing out a building.
• Garden clearing.

For reference, 4-yard skips hold 30-40 bin bags, 6-yard skips hold 50-60 bin bags, 8-yard skips hold 60-80 bin bags, 10-yard skips hold 80-100 bin bags, and 12-yard skips hold 100-120 bin bags.

Mixed Waste

With a general mixed waste fill, you can put the following in a skip of any size:

Household waste (typical waste you'd put in your local bin). Scrap metal. Bricks. Dry waste. Wood. Plastic. Hardcore. Paper. Concrete. Mattresses. Glass.

Garden Waste

With a garden waste fill, you can dispose of the following:

Grass. Leaves. Twigs. Weeds. Soil. Turf. Lawn. Logs. Gravel. Bricks. Paving slabs.

Non-Permitted Waste

You might incur additional charges if you fill your container with waste that is not allowed. You cannot put the following into a skip with a mixed waste or garden waste fill:

Aerosols. Asbestos. Batteries. Degassed whitegoods (fridges and freezers). Oil or fuel. Types. Medical waste. Light tubes. Hazardous waste. Liquids. Paint. Tumble dryers. Microwaves. Explosives. Fire extinguishers. Fire damaged waste. Food waste. Human or animal waste. Electronic waste (Televisions, monitors, laptops). Gas bottles. Plasterboard (small quantities might be allowed).

4 and 6-yard skips are sufficient for small domestic DIY jobs and clearances. On the other hand, 10 and 12-yard skips and larger ones are suitable for major construction waste and clearouts of large buildings, like offices, shops, warehouses, etc.

Please note: You cannot put a skip on the pavement. You need a licence to put it on a public road. Our hire suppliers are responsible for obtaining the permits in most areas, but there are some locations you'll need to do it yourself. The delivering company might also need to use safety lights and markings. You can contact your local council to find the exact rules for permits, lights, and markings in your area.
