Newark-on-Trent Skip Hire

You need a permit from Newark and Sherwood District Council for skips placed on public roads. We handle the permit application, which typically takes 2-3 days to process. Skips on private property like driveways don't require permits. Many customers in the Balderton area place skips on driveways to avoid permit delays, while those in terraced houses along Castle Gate often need highway permits due to limited private space.

Our skips accept general household waste, garden rubbish, wood, soil, rubble and metal. You can't put hazardous materials in skips including asbestos, chemicals, paint, gas bottles, tyres, plasterboard, batteries and electronics. The Household Waste Recycling Centre on Brunel Drive takes most items not allowed in skips. We find many Newark customers need advice about disposing of old bathroom suites, which are acceptable in our skips as long as they're broken down to fit properly.

For garden clearances or single-room renovations in Newark, a 2-4 yard skip holding 25-55 black bin bags is usually adequate. House renovations need 6-8 yard skips that fit 65-85 bags. Construction projects at locations like North Muskham industrial sites often require 10-16 yard skips. The narrow streets in Newark town centre sometimes limit delivery vehicle access, so it's worth checking access before booking larger skips. Customers renovating older properties on Millgate typically find 6 yard skips suit their needs.

The standard hire period is 7 days. If you need the skip longer, contact us before collection day to arrange an extension for an additional daily fee. Projects in newer developments like Fernwood often finish within the week, while renovations to period properties in South Muskham sometimes need extended hire periods. The wet weather in winter months sometimes delays outdoor projects, so extensions are more common from November through February.

After collection, your skip is taken to our sorting facility where waste is separated. Materials like wood, metal and cardboard go to recycling facilities. Approximately 80% of waste from Newark-on-Trent skips gets recycled. Construction waste from the London Road development contains high levels of recyclable materials. Non-recyclable items go to approved disposal sites. The local council monitors waste management closely, requiring monthly reports on recycling rates.
