Brentwood Skip Hire

You need a permit to place a skip on roads in Brentwood. We handle the permit application with the council for you. It usually takes 2-3 working days to process. No permit is needed if you put the skip on your driveway or land.

Parts of Brentwood town centre and Shenfield High Street have different rules for skip placement due to traffic management schemes. The permit costs about £60 for a two-week period, which we add to your overall hire cost.

Standard skips can't take certain types of waste. These include asbestos, fridges, TVs, computers, tyres, gas bottles, paint, batteries and chemicals.

Many people in Brentwood don't know that plasterboard needs separate disposal. If you're renovating properties in older areas like Hutton or Warley, be aware that some materials might need special handling. The Brentwood recycling centre on Coxtie Green Road takes some of these items for free. We can advise on suitable disposal routes for items we can't collect.

A 4-yard skip holds around 45-55 bin bags and works for garden clearances or small DIY jobs. Kitchen renovations typically need 6-yard skips. Larger home renovations or house clearances need 8-yard skips or bigger.

Soil and concrete from garden projects in areas like Pilgrims Hatch or South Weald are heavy - a small skip fills up quickly with these materials. A typical bathroom removal from a semi-detached house in Shenfield generates about 3-4 yards of waste. Tell us what you're doing, and we'll suggest a suitable size.

Most people in Brentwood hire skips for 14 days. We collect it when you tell us it's ready, usually within 1-2 days after your call. If you need it for longer, just let us know before the collection date.

Don't fill the skip above the level of the sides - this is against transport regulations on Essex roads. January after Christmas and spring are busy times for skip hire in Brentwood, so book a bit earlier during these periods. We collect between 7am and 5pm on weekdays.

Our lorries need 2.8 metres width and 4 metres height clearance. Narrow streets in Ingrave and older parts of Brentwood sometimes present challenges. Let us know about limited space, tight corners or low trees when booking.

Certain locations near Brentwood station have restricted access during peak hours. Some newer housing developments in Warley and Hutton have management rules about skip placement. For tricky spots, we sometimes use different vehicles when available. Morning deliveries are generally quieter on Brentwood roads.
