Comprehensive Skip Hire Services Across Newmarket
From 2 yard skips for household waste up to 16 and 20 yard skips, What Skip? can help with your waste management needs. Each skip size holds different amounts of waste, so if you're unsure which you need, call us for advice.
We deliver to Newmarket and nearby villages including Exning, Cheveley, Moulton, Kentford, Burwell and Woodditton. Our vans can reach most locations within 24 hours when skips are in stock.
Domestic Skip Hire in Newmarket
Our skip service for homeowners is straightforward. We deliver the skip to your address at an arranged time. If you're putting it on private land, check there's enough space for delivery access. For skips on public roads, we organise permits with West Suffolk Council, which typically take 2-3 working days to process.
Newmarket residents use our skips for various jobs. Garden clearances are typical in spring, while home renovations create mixed waste including plasterboard and old fixtures. Most domestic customers find 4 and 6 yard skips suitable for standard household clearances.

Why choose What Skip?
We've provided skip hire in Newmarket for several years. Our regular customers include local builders, racehorse trainers clearing stable waste, and homeowners doing renovations.
The process is simple: we deliver your skip, you fill it with waste up to the fill line, and then we collect it when you're done. Heavy items should go in first, with lighter waste on top. Our drivers can advise on proper loading if needed.
Weather sometimes affects delivery times, especially during winter when ice can make some roads difficult to access. We'll call to let you know if there will be delays.

Commercial Skip Hire in Newmarket
For businesses in Newmarket, we provide skips in various sizes with flexible hire periods. We handle permit applications for skips placed on public land, though most commercial premises have dedicated space for waste containers.
Local businesses around Studlands Park Industrial Estate often use our 8 yard skips for regular waste disposal. The equestrian facilities along Hamilton Road typically need larger skips during yard renovations. We also serve shops on the High Street, where space can be limited and timing matters due to delivery restrictions.
Skip Hire Newmarket Frequently Asked Questions
What waste can't go in skips in Newmarket?
Our skips take most household and building waste, but some items aren't allowed. You can't put in hazardous materials like asbestos, chemicals, or paint tins with wet paint. Other banned items include batteries, gas bottles, electrical things, tyres and plasterboard. Ring us if you're unsure about something before you put it in.
How soon can you deliver a skip to Newmarket?
We usually deliver within a day or two when skips are in stock. If you need one on the road rather than your property, allow extra time for the council permit - West Suffolk Council takes about 2-3 working days to process these. Skip availability can be limited at month end when local builders are finishing jobs. Deliveries run from 7am to 3pm on weekdays, with the driver calling about 30 minutes before arrival.
How long can I keep a skip in Newmarket?
Most customers keep skips for up to 14 days. You can have it longer if needed - just let us know before the collection date. Builders working on the new housing developments near Exning Road often book extensions when jobs take longer than expected. We collect skips Monday to Friday between 7am and 3pm. Collection days can be a bit muddy in winter, especially for skips placed on soft ground in villages like Cheveley and Moulton.
Do you offer wait-and-load services in Newmarket?
Yes, we do wait-and-load skips in Newmarket. The driver brings the skip and waits while you fill it, then takes it away the same day. This works well for shops on the High Street that have little space and can't keep a skip overnight. The driver normally waits up to 30 minutes. This service costs a bit more than standard skip hire but means you don't need a permit for road placement. We can't do wait-and-load services on market days due to traffic restrictions.
What happens to waste from Newmarket skips?
Waste from our skips goes to sorting facilities in Suffolk. Workers separate materials that can be reused. Metal, wood, soil and cardboard get pulled out for recycling. About 80% of skip waste avoids landfill this way. The process is fairly standard across Suffolk, though rates vary depending on the mix of materials. Council inspectors check the facilities regularly to make sure they follow the rules. If you need paperwork for commercial waste, ask when you book and we'll sort it out.
