Why choose What Skip?
What Skip? operates across Norfolk with proper waste carrier registration. We sort collected waste at our processing facility, which helps reduce landfill use.
Skips are usually delivered between 7am and 5pm on weekdays. Some Fakenham customers prefer early morning deliveries before town centre traffic builds up. During summer, we're often busy with garden clearances from the larger properties in Great Ryburgh and surrounding villages.
The hiring process is straightforward. We deliver the skip, you fill it to the fill line (not above for safety), then we collect it when you're done. Loading heavy items like bathroom suites or old cookers at the bottom of the skip helps with weight distribution.

Skip Hire Fakenham Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for skip hire in Fakenham?
You need a permit for skips placed on Fakenham roads or pavements. We sort the paperwork with Norfolk County Council, which takes 3-5 working days. Skips on private land don't need permits. The council charges £35 for a standard skip permit. Some narrow streets in the old market area have placement restrictions due to access requirements.
What waste types can't go in skips in Fakenham?
Some items can't go in skips due to disposal rules. Don't put in: asbestos, batteries, medical waste, electricals, fluorescent tubes, fridges, gas bottles, chemicals, liquids, oil, paint tins, plasterboard or tyres. Take these to Hempton Recycling Centre instead.
How long can I keep a skip in Fakenham?
Most customers keep skips for 7-14 days. Ring us when you're finished with it. We collect skips on our Fakenham rounds each Tuesday and Friday. Let us know 24 hours before you want it taken. If you need more time, tell us before the collection date. Extra days cost £10 for smaller skips and £15 for 8-yard and larger. Collections sometimes run late on market days due to town centre traffic.
Can skip hire be arranged for weekend delivery in Fakenham?
We sometimes deliver on Saturdays in Fakenham, mainly in summer months. Book at least 4 days ahead for weekend delivery. The service costs £25 extra. We don't deliver on Sundays. Weekend permits for road placement need booking by Tuesday that week. Our Saturday delivery van also covers Hempton and Great Ryburgh, but not the further villages, so check when booking.
How should I prepare for skip delivery in Fakenham?
Clear enough space before delivery. An 8-yard skip needs about 3m x 2m area. Move cars off the driveway. For narrow access like properties off The Drift, tell us when booking. Our driver needs to know about low branches, tight turns or loose gravel. Skips on roads have a 1-metre clearance requirement for traffic flow. Most Fakenham deliveries arrive between 10am-3pm. The lorry weighs 7.5 tonnes, so watch for weak surfaces or drain covers.
