Skip hire in Palfrey

When you book a skip with us, you get the skip itself (usually a 6-yard or 8-yard container), delivery to your property, and collection once it's full or your job is done. Our fee covers loading equipment, the driver's labour for placement and removal, and transportation of your waste to a licensed disposal or recycling facility. We handle the heavy lifting—you don't lift a finger beyond filling the skip.

That includes breaking down larger items like old wardrobes and flat-pack furniture, and removing asbestos-containing materials if identified and safely contained (though you'll need a licensed asbestos contractor for removal itself). We also manage any paperwork: a waste transfer note is issued so you have proof that your waste has been disposed of legally. Edge cases we get asked about: yes, we can take old sofas, mattresses, and electrical items, though these follow strict recycling routes under WEEE and Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP) regulations. Single items that weigh more than 100 kg or require dismantling on stairs are quoted case-by-case, as labour and access affect cost.

1. Ring us or book online— tell us what you're clearing, roughly how much waste, and which day you need the skip. We give you a quote and confirm delivery within 24–48 hours.
2. We deliver the skip— our driver places it safely on your drive or, if on a road, we arrange a skip permit with the local council and set up roadside lighting and signage to meet Highways Act 1980 Section 139 requirements. You'll receive confirmation of the placement and a contact number.
3. You load at your pace— fill the skip over a few hours, days, or weeks, depending on your job. We ask that you don't overfill above the rim line (for road safety and collection reasons).
4. We collect and dispose— call us when you're done, we pick it up, and your waste goes to a licensed recycling centre or waste facility in the West Midlands. You're issued a waste transfer note as proof of lawful disposal.
5. Invoice and payment— you pay on collection, or we invoice if you prefer. No hidden charges; the quote is the price.

Our skip hire service is fully licensed under environmental protection regulations. Every load is tracked with a waste transfer note, which is your legal record that waste has been handled responsibly. This is essential if you're a landlord or business, as it protects you against fly-tipping liability.

Different waste streams follow specific rules. Sofas and mattresses contain flame-retardant chemicals (POPs) and are sent to certified recycling centres, not landfill. Electrical items—fridges, washing machines, TVs—fall under WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations and are processed by licensed operators who recover metals, plastics, and hazardous materials safely. Plasterboard, timber, metals, and general construction waste are separated and sent to the appropriate recycling facility or aggregate merchant. Even cardboard and paper are diverted from landfill. We don't guess: we know where each category goes, and you get proof.
