Hinckley Skip Hire

You need a permit for skips placed on roads or pavements in Hinckley. We handle the permit application with Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council. Permits take 2-3 days to process and the cost is included in your quote. No permit is needed for skips on driveways or private land. Some areas like Rugby Road and Leicester Road have traffic restrictions that affect skip placement. The council sometimes limits permits during the Hinckley Carnival and other town events.

Certain items can't go in skips due to disposal regulations. These include asbestos, batteries, fridges, gas bottles, paint, tyres and electronics. The Barwell Lane Recycling Centre takes most of these restricted items. Hinckley residents clearing houses on Manor Street or the Battling Brook estate often ask about disposing of plasterboard, which needs separate handling. Garden waste from Burbage Common area properties is fine in skips, but soil quantities may affect the weight limit. If clearing a shed or garage in Stoke Golding or Earl Shilton, check with us about items you're not sure about.

A 4-yard skip holds about 40 bin bags and suits small garden jobs in Hinckley. For kitchen removals in the terraced houses near Trinity Lane, 6-yard skips usually fit in the back access roads. Bathroom renovations generally need 6-yard skips. The newer housing in Sketchley Brook has wider drives that can take 8-yard skips for home improvements. Narrower streets in old Hinckley like Mount Road sometimes have access issues for larger skips. Building waste from loft conversions common in the Hollycroft area typically needs 8-yard skips. Some streets near St Mary's Church have parking restrictions that affect skip placement.

The standard hire period is 14 days. Ring us when your skip is full and we collect it within 1-2 working days. Hire extensions cost £15 per week in most Hinckley areas. For collection, the skip must be accessible and not covered. We work 7am to 5pm weekdays in Hinckley, with limited Saturday collections. Customers on the industrial estates near Harrowbrook often arrange collections for early morning. If you need another skip after collection, let us know when booking. During winter, skip collections can take longer if there's snow on the A47 or A5.

Skip waste goes to our transfer station where it's sorted into different types. Metals, wood, cardboard and hard plastics are separated for recycling. About 80% of waste from Hinckley skips is recycled. The remaining waste goes to licensed disposal sites in Leicestershire. Soil and stone often goes to local reclamation projects. Different waste streams have different costs - green waste tends to be cheaper to process than mixed builders waste. We keep records of commercial waste for businesses in Hinckley that need waste transfer documentation. The facility follows Environment Agency guidelines and Leicestershire waste management policies.
