Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about hiring a skip from Hungry Waste.
What size skip do I need?
It depends on your project. A 2-4 yard skip is ideal for small clearouts and garden waste. A 6-8 yard skip suits renovations and medium builds. For large construction or demolition projects, our 10-16 yard chain skips or 20-40 yard RoRo skips are the way to go. Not sure? Call us on 01902 239333 and we'll recommend the right size.
How do I order a skip?
You can order online through our website 24/7, or call us on 01902 239333 during office hours. Choose your skip size, pick your delivery date, and we'll handle the rest.
Do you offer same-day delivery?
Yes. Order before 10am and we'll do our best to deliver the same day, subject to availability. Next-day delivery is guaranteed on all orders.
How long can I keep the skip?
Every skip comes with a 14-day hire period as standard. Need it longer? Just give us a call and we can extend — additional charges may apply.
Do I need a permit for my skip?
If the skip is going on your private driveway or land, no permit is needed. If it needs to go on a public road or pavement, a council permit is required — and we handle that for you.
What can I put in a skip?
Most household, garden, and construction waste is fine — furniture, rubble, wood, metal, soil, garden waste, and general rubbish. Skips over 8 yards are for light waste only (no bricks, soil, or concrete).
What can't I put in a skip?
We cannot accept hazardous waste, asbestos, gas cylinders, tyres, fridges, freezers, electrical items, batteries, paint, solvents, or clinical waste.
Do you offer trade accounts?
Yes. Trade accounts come with priority booking, 30-day payment terms, a dedicated account manager, and volume discounts. Apply on our Trade Accounts page.
