Skip Hire Basildon Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for skip hire in Basildon?
You'll need a permit if your skip sits on a public road or pavement in Basildon. Skips on driveways don't need permits. We handle the paperwork with the council, which takes 2-3 days to process. The council charges for permits - we add this to your bill. When you ring us, just mention where you want the skip placed.
What waste can't go in my Basildon skip?
You can put most household and building waste in our skips. Garden waste, furniture, bricks and general rubbish are all fine. You can't put in hazardous materials like asbestos, chemicals or paint. Electrical items, tyres, gas bottles and plasterboard aren't allowed either. The council recycling centres on Cranes Farm Road or Burnt Mills can take these items instead. Don't fill the skip above the sides - the lorry can't legally transport it if you do.
Which skip size do I need in Basildon?
A 2-yard skip holds about 25 bags of waste and works for small garden jobs. The 4-yard fits around 45 bags and suits bathroom refits. Most Basildon households doing clearouts use 6-yard skips, while the 8-yard is common for kitchen renovations. Building sites in Pitsea and Laindon often need 12-16 yard skips. Basildon industrial estates typically use our larger 14-yard skips for factory waste. We can discuss what you're clearing when you call.
How long can I keep a skip in Basildon?
The standard hire is 7 days. You can extend this if needed, just ring up before the collection date. We deliver across Basildon, including to places like Wickford and Billericay, usually within 48 hours of booking. Some narrow streets in older parts of town might need smaller skips due to access issues. If your project's in a busy area like Basildon town centre, we may need to arrange delivery outside peak traffic times.
What happens to my waste after collection?
After collecting your skip, we take it to our sorting yard. Workers separate metals, wood, rubble, soil and other materials. About 80% gets recycled rather than going to landfill. The concrete and bricks often end up being crushed for use in road building around Essex. Metal goes to scrap dealers in Basildon industrial estate. Garden waste gets composted at the Essex recycling facility. The sorting takes a day or two depending on what's in your skip.
