Skip Hire Prices in Essex
The price of a skip in Essex mainly comes down to three things: the size of skip, how long you need it, and what you are throwing away. Heavy waste such as soil and rubble can affect the cost, and so can a council permit if the skip has to go on the road.
Rather than showing a price that changes once the extras are added, we give you one fixed quote. Tell us your postcode, what you are clearing and where the skip will go. We will recommend the right size and confirm a clear price that includes delivery, collection and disposal, with no hidden charges.
Being local and family-run keeps our costs down, which is why so many customers choose us for cheap skip hire in Essex. If you have a written quote from another licensed skip company for the same size and service, let us know and we will always try to beat it.
How to keep your skip hire costs down
- Choose the right size. A skip that is too small means paying for a second one. Not sure? Call us and we will help.
- Use your driveway if you can. A skip on private land does not need a council permit.
- Try wait and load for quick jobs. Our driver waits while you load, so there is no hire period and no permit to pay for.
- Keep banned items out. Fridges, tyres, gas bottles, paint and asbestos cost extra to deal with.
- Fill to a level load. Overfilled skips cannot be legally collected.
Included in every quote
- Delivery and collection
- Up to 14 days hire, with shorter or longer hire on request
- Disposal at licensed waste facilities, with as much as possible recycled
- A waste transfer note for your records

Skip Hire Questions
How much does skip hire cost in Essex?
It depends on the skip size, how long you need it, the type of waste and whether a council permit is needed. Call us on 01268 956390 with your postcode and what you are clearing, and we will give you one fixed price that includes delivery, collection and disposal.
Can you deliver a skip today?
Often, yes. We work 7 days a week and offer same-day delivery whenever we have a skip and a driver free. Call as early in the day as you can for the best chance of a same-day slot.
Do I need a permit for a skip?
Not if the skip goes on your own property, such as a driveway. If it needs to go on a road or pavement, a permit is needed from the local council, such as Essex Highways, Southend-on-Sea City Council or Thurrock Council. We can arrange it for you. Permits usually take a few working days.
What size skip do I need?
A 2 yard mini skip holds around 20 bin bags and suits small clear-outs. Our 6 yard skip, our best seller, holds around 60 bin bags and suits house clearances and renovations. See our skip sizes guide or call us for advice.
How long can I keep the skip?
Our standard hire period is up to 14 days. If you need it for a shorter or longer time, just tell us when you book and we will fit around you.
What can't go in a skip?
Asbestos, gas bottles, paint, oils and chemicals, batteries, fridges and freezers, tyres, fluorescent tubes and other hazardous waste are not allowed. Mattresses, electrical items and plasterboard can be taken by arrangement for an extra charge.
