Skip Hire or Rubbish Removal?
The best choice depends on how much waste you have, who will load it and when it will be ready.
- Loading responsibility explained
- Space and timing compared

Rubbish removal

Clearing over a few days?
A skip can suit a renovation or clear-out where waste builds up as you work. You need a suitable place to keep it, safe lorry access and a plan for loading.
See the skip size guideHave a load ready to go?
A rubbish-removal visit may suit waste that is ready for collection together. Agree whether loading is included, how far the waste must be carried, access and any items that need special handling.
For either approach, describe the full load. A photo can help if the operator offers a way to send one, but do not assume every item will be accepted or that one service will always cost less.
Call to discuss which service is available for your waste and address. Confirm the current rubbish-removal offer and loading arrangements before booking.
