Frequently asked questions

Yes! Our garden waste skip hire service is perfect for anyone undertaking garden renovations or outdoor projects. A skip is a great solution for whatever work you’re doing in the garden, from weeding and pruning to dismantling old sheds.

Garden waste generally includes things like grass cuttings, tree trunks and branches, hedge trimmings, leaves, plants, weeds, and soil or turf. While skip hire for garden waste is intended mainly for organic materials, you can also use your skip to dispose of fencing materials and similar. 

Small quantities of soil and turf are usually acceptable, but they are heavy materials, so it’s important to be mindful of how much your skip weighs. If you have large volumes of soil to dispose of, or are unsure, contact us to confirm.

 

A 4 yard skip suits small garden tidy-ups, while larger clearances usually need a 6 yard or 8 yard skip. For bulky green waste like branches or hedge cuttings, 12 yard skips offer extra capacity without exceeding weight limits.

Yes. Garden waste can become very heavy, especially when wet. Skips have maximum weight limits to ensure safe transport, so overloading with too much soil or turf should be avoided. We cannot take over-filled skips, so contact us if you’re unsure whether a skip would be suitable for your project. 

 

When you hire a skip for garden waste, it’s usually placed on a driveway or private land. If you will need to put the skip on a public road, a council permit may be required before delivery. We can organise this on your behalf when you book. 

 

Collection of your garden waste skip can often be arranged as soon as the skip is full. Our flexible scheduling helps prevent waste from building up, especially during large-scale gardening or landscaping work.

Garden waste skip hire cost can vary depending on what size skip you need, your location, and how long you will need the skip for. We offer reasonable rates with transparent pricing and no hidden fees—contact us today for a free quote!
