Domestic Skip Hire in Doncaster
Our waste collection service keeps things straightforward for Doncaster homeowners. We drop off your chosen skip size when you need it. If you're putting it on your driveway, check you have enough space first - a 4 yard skip needs about 3 metres of clearance. For skips on public roads, we sort out the permits with Doncaster Council.
Many locals use our skips for clearing out garden waste after the autumn leaf fall. Others need them for getting rid of broken furniture, old kitchen units, or bathroom tiles during renovations. The permit application typically takes 2-3 working days to process, so it helps to book ahead if possible.

Commercial Skip Hire in Doncaster
For businesses in Doncaster needing waste removal, we provide skips of various sizes with flexible hiring periods. We handle the council paperwork when placing skips on public land. Our vans can navigate the tight access roads at older industrial sites like Wheatley Hall Road, as well as newer business parks.
Office clearances often need a 6 yard skip, which fits old desks, chairs and filing cabinets. Building sites at locations like the Balby Carr development typically require our larger 14-16 yard skips. We usually empty these once a week, but can adjust collection schedules to match your waste output.
Skip Hire Doncaster Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a skip in Doncaster?
You need a permit for skips placed on roads or pavements in Doncaster. Skips on driveways don't require permits. We sort the paperwork with the council. It takes 2-3 days and costs £25-£35, added to your invoice. December and April tend to have slower processing times. Some roads near Frenchgate need extra traffic forms due to bus routes.
What can't go in skips?
These items can't go in skips: asbestos, batteries, electrical items, fluorescent tubes, gas bottles, chemicals, liquids, oil, paint tins, plasterboard and tyres. Doncaster has recycling centres at Carcroft and Armthorpe for these materials. Carcroft gets busy on Saturdays, with queues forming before 9am. Paint tins need to be empty and dry. We can't take soil mixed with plastics or other rubbish.
What skip size do I need?
A 4-yard skip holds about 45 bin bags and suits garden waste. Kitchen refits often need 6-yard skips. House renovations usually fill 8-yard skips. The 8-yard is 3.4m long with a 1.3m height. Streets in Hexthorpe may only fit smaller skips. New builds in Lakeside often have restricted turning space. Building sites tend to use 14-yard skips. The 6-yard has a lower side than the 8-yard, useful for heavy items.
How long can I have a skip?
The hire period is 14 days. Ring us when it's ready for collection. We pick up within 2 days in normal conditions. The week after Easter is often busy for collections. Council permits last two weeks. If you need more time, let us know before the permit ends. Monday collections sometimes shift to Tuesday after bank holidays. We don't collect on weekends except by special arrangement.
Where do you deliver in Doncaster?
We deliver across Doncaster including the town centre, Armthorpe, Tickhill, Bawtry, Hatfield, Thorne and Conisbrough. The narrow roads in Edlington limit skip sizes to 6-yard maximum. Large potholes on access roads to Lindholme need careful navigation. Deliveries to businesses on White Rose Way happen after 10am to avoid rush hour. For narrow drives, we bring wooden planks to protect block paving when placing the skip.
