Grimsby Skip Hire

You need a permit from North East Lincolnshire Council for skips placed on roads in Grimsby. Skips on private land don't need permits. We sort the paperwork when you book. It takes about 2-3 days for the council to process permits. The council charges around £30-£50 for the permit, which gets added to your bill. Some areas like near the docks have different rules because of loading restrictions.

Some items can't go in skips due to regulations. Don't put asbestos, batteries, fridges, TVs, tyres, paint, gas bottles or plasterboard in your skip. The council recycling centre on Estuary Way takes most of these items. They're open Tuesday to Sunday, 8am to 6pm in summer and until 4pm in winter. The staff there are helpful but can be busy on weekends. If you're not sure about something, give us a call before putting it in.

For clearing out a few rooms, a 2-yard skip works for most terraced houses off Hainton Avenue. Kitchen refits in Waltham need 4-yard skips. Garden clearances often need 6-yard skips because grass is surprisingly heavy. For house renovations in Scartho, 8-yard skips are common. Builders working on the new estates near Peaks Parkway typically use 10-12 yard skips. Remember that bricks and soil are heavy - a small pile can fill half a skip. The narrow streets in old Grimsby can limit delivery options sometimes.

Skips are usually hired for 14 days. Call us when it's full and we'll collect it. You don't have to keep it for the whole time. If you need it longer, it costs about £10 per extra week. We collect Monday to Friday between 7am and 5pm. Sometimes we're delayed during bad weather or when the roads around Freeman Street market are busy. Our drivers know the back routes around the one-way system by Freshney Place to avoid delays. Make sure the skip isn't blocked by cars when collection day comes around.

The terraced streets near Freeman Street aren't wide enough for large skips. We use smaller vehicles for those areas. Skips near Grimsby Docks need to be placed carefully because of shift traffic. The council doesn't allow skips in some parts of Cleethorpes during the summer season. Alexandra Road gets very busy during school run times, so we avoid deliveries between 8:30am and 9:15am. Some of the new estates have management rules about where skips can go. Waltham has quite a few narrow entrances where we need to check access first. The council is stricter about permits near the hospital and college areas.
