Choose the Right Skip Size

Small clear-outs and lighter jobs
6-Yard Midi Skip
Medium household projects
8-Yard Builders Skip
Larger clearances and renovations
12-Yard Maxi Skip
Bulky lighter waste
16-Yard Skip
Substantial bulky waste
20-Yard Container
Larger commercial or construction needs
Exact sizes, weight limits and accepted materials vary. Heavy waste may require a specific skip type or separate arrangement.
Skip Hire in Torquay, Paignton and Brixham
Our skip hire service covers Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and surrounding parts of Torbay. Access can vary considerably across the area, so it helps to tell us where the skip will go when requesting a quote.
Torquay
From hills and narrow Victorian streets to wider suburban drives, Torquay properties vary considerably. Tell us where the skip will go so access can be considered.

A mix of Victorian and Edwardian homes, post-war estates and newer developments. Many properties have driveways, though some older streets remain narrow.
Skip Hire PaigntonBrixham
Narrower streets, steep hillsides and tight property access. Let us know the address and proposed skip position so delivery can be considered properly.

Preparing for Skip Delivery
A few practical checks can help delivery go smoothly and avoid delays.
Driveway or private land
A skip placed fully on your own driveway or private land usually does not need a highway permit.
Road placement and permits
A skip on a public road may require a permit from Torbay Council. Tell us if the skip needs to go on the road so we can confirm what's needed.
Width and access
The delivery vehicle needs enough room to reach the placement area. Narrow lanes, tight corners or restricted parking can affect access.
Overhead cables and branches
Overhead power lines, phone cables or low tree branches can prevent delivery. Make sure there is clear vertical space above the placement spot.
Keep the area clear
Make sure the placement spot is level, clear of vehicles and obstructions before the skip arrives.
Avoid overfilling
Fill the skip level with the top. Items above the sides may make it unsafe to transport, and collection may need to be delayed.
What Can Go in the Skip?
Commonly accepted waste includes wood, furniture, non-hazardous household waste, metal, garden waste, bricks, rubble and soil. Some items need separate handling — including asbestos, batteries, tyres, gas cylinders, paint, chemicals, fridges and freezers. If you're unsure about an item, tell us before loading the skip.
Always confirm unusual or restricted items with us before loading. Rules can vary by skip type and disposal facility.
Tell Us What You're Clearing
Tell us what you're clearing, where the skip will be placed and when you need it. We'll confirm a suitable skip size, placement and dates with you.
What Affects the Price?
Skip hire prices vary because every job is different. The cost depends on the skip size, waste type, access, placement and whether a road permit is needed. Tell us about the job and we'll provide the relevant options.
Skip size
Larger skips generally cost more, though price does not scale proportionally with capacity.
Location
Delivery distance from the operator's depot affects the price.
Type and weight of waste
Heavy waste like soil or rubble may cost more to dispose of than light bulky waste.
Hire duration
Standard periods vary; keeping a skip longer may incur additional charges.
Permit requirements
A skip placed on a public road may require a permit, adding to the cost.
Placement
Difficult access or special placement needs may affect pricing.
Delivery access
Narrow lanes, restricted parking, or difficult terrain can influence cost.
Additional collections or exchanges
Swapping a full skip or booking extra collections adds to the total.
Prohibited or specialist waste
Items requiring separate disposal may incur additional fees.
Where Can the Skip Be Placed?
If the skip can sit fully on your own driveway or private land, a road permit may not be needed. If any part of it will be on a public road, permission may be required — along with lighting, markings or other local requirements. Tell us where the skip will go and we'll confirm what's needed before delivery.
Permit requirements can change and depend on the exact location in Torbay.
