Skip Hire Derby Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for skip hire in Derby?
You'll need a permit from Derby City Council for skips placed on roads or pavements. We sort this out for you, and it takes about 2-3 working days. No permit needed for skips on driveways or private land. Some areas like Allestree and Mickleover have specific parking restrictions that might affect permit approval times.
What waste can't go in my skip?
Most household and building waste is fine, but there are restrictions. You can't put hazardous waste, asbestos, chemicals, paint tins, fridges, TVs, computers, tyres, gas bottles or batteries in the skip. We've noticed many Derby customers ask about plasterboard - this needs separate disposal. Garden waste, old furniture, bricks and general rubbish are all acceptable.
How do I choose the right skip size for my Derby project?
For clearing a garden in Littleover or renovating a bathroom in Spondon, a 4-yard skip usually does the job. Kitchen refits in older Derby properties often need 6-yard skips due to the heavier materials. House clearances typically require 8-yard skips. A 4-yard skip holds about 45-55 black bin bags, while an 8-yard takes 75-85 bags. If you're unsure, mention your project and we can suggest a suitable size.
What if my skip gets full before the job's done?
It happens sometimes, especially with house renovations. You have a few options: we can collect the full skip and drop off another one, you can book a second skip, or we might be able to swap it for a larger size. There's a daily charge for keeping skips longer than the standard hire period. Just ring us when you need a collection or want to discuss options.
What access do you need for delivery in Derby?
Our lorries need about 3.5 metres width and 4 metres height to deliver safely. Terraced streets in Chaddesden and parts of central Derby can be tricky for larger skips. Let us know if you have narrow access, low trees or cables overhead. For tight spots like some parts of Oakwood with restricted parking, we sometimes recommend our wait-and-load service instead. Skip delivery takes about 15 minutes in most cases.
