Domestic Skip Hire in Banbury
For home skip hire in Banbury, we keep things simple. Tell us when and where you want the skip, and we'll deliver it at the arranged time. Skips on driveways need about 3 metres of clear space. For skips on roads, you'll need a permit from Oxfordshire Council - we can sort this for you for an additional fee of £35.
Banbury residents often hire our 4 yard skips for garden clearances in spring, while 6 yard skips are common for home renovations. The narrow streets in the town centre sometimes require smaller skips due to access limitations. Properties with wider frontages along Oxford Road typically have room for larger options.

Skip Hire Banbury Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for skip hire in Banbury?
You need a permit for skips placed on roads or pavements in Banbury. We sort the paperwork with Oxfordshire Council for a £35 fee. Permits take 2-3 working days to come through. Skips on private land like driveways don't need permits. Some roads near Banbury Cross need extra safety markings due to traffic. We see more permit applications in summer when more people are doing home projects.
What waste can't go in my Banbury skip?
You can't put hazardous materials, electronics, tyres, batteries, gas bottles or liquids in skips. This includes things like fridges, TVs, paint tins and plasterboard. We've had customers try to hide these items under general waste, but we spot them during collection. Most household waste, furniture, garden cuttings, wood and building rubble are fine. The waste transfer station on Thorpe Way handles some of the items we can't take, though they charge separately.
How do I pick the right skip size in Banbury?
A 4-yard skip works for most garden clearouts - we delivered three of these to Bodicote last week. Kitchen refits usually need 6-yard skips. The terraced houses near the canal often can only fit 2-yard skips due to access issues. Soil and concrete fill skips quickly because of their weight. Hardwick residents typically order skips one size larger than they think they need. We sometimes find a front garden full of waste won't fit in the skip the customer ordered. Better to have space left over than run out.
How long can I keep a skip and how is it collected?
Most people in Banbury keep skips for about a week. The standard hire includes this. Ring us when you're done, and we'll collect it within a couple of days. Sometimes collections take longer during bank holidays. You need to fill the skip level with the sides, not above. Our drivers won't take overfilled skips as it's not legal on the roads. Late Friday collections are hard to arrange as our yard gets busy before the weekend. Some customers in Grimsbury book a Monday collection after weekend clear-outs.
Are there local issues that affect skip hire in Banbury?
The narrow streets around Banbury town centre limit the size of skips we can deliver. Castle Street particularly causes problems for our larger trucks. We know to avoid school drop-off times near Hanwell Fields. Winter deliveries to Kings Sutton sometimes get delayed when the lanes flood. Market days on Thursdays mean we can't access the High Street until after 5pm. Our local driver knows the quickest routes around the one-way system. Some housing estates have weight restrictions on their access roads that affect what size skip we can bring.
