How much does skip hire cost in High Wycombe?

The cost of skip hire varies depending on the skip size, location, and how long you need it for. As a guide:

• Midi skips (4–5 yard): between £130 and £320
• Larger ‘Builder’ skips (6–8 yard): between £190 and £450

If you need a permit to place your skip on public land, you’ll usually pay an extra £15–£60.

What size skip do I need?

Skips come in a variety of sizes, measured in cubic yards:

• Mini skip (2–3 yard): ideal for small DIY projects or garden waste
• Midi skip (4–5 yard): suitable for medium home renovations
• Builders skip (6–8 yard): perfect for large clear-outs or building work

Tip: One cubic yard is roughly the same amount of space as 10 kitchen bin bags.

Choosing the right skip size helps you avoid overfilling and paying extra for wasted space.

Do I need a permit for skip hire?

If your skip will sit on a public road, you’ll usually need a permit from your local council.

This tends to cost in the region of £15–£60, and most skip hire companies can arrange this for you when you book.

If your skip fits on your driveway or private land, no permit is required.

What can you put in a skip?

Most general household and garden waste can go into a skip, including:

• Wood
• Plastic
• Bricks
• Metal
• Furniture

However, hazardous materials such as asbestos, gas cylinders, batteries, tyres, chemicals, and electrical items aren’t allowed.

Always check with your skip hire provider for specific restrictions.

Tips for hiring a skip

Before booking your skip hire, check the following to ensure you hire right:

• Book in advance: During busy periods, skip companies may have limited availability
• Avoid overfilling: Keep waste below the skip’s fill line to prevent collection issues
• Separate recyclables: Many skip hire companies recycle large portions of waste, so sorting materials helps the environment
• Protect your driveway: Place sheets and timber planks under the skip to prevent surface damage, especially on tarmac or paving
• Compare at least three quotes to ensure competitive pricing
