Why choose What Skip?
What Skip? has provided waste removal services in South Yorkshire for several years. We work with the local recycling centres in Sheffield, with much of the collected waste going to the Bernard Road facility or the Beighton Household Waste Centre depending on type.
We aim to make skip hire straightforward. The skip gets delivered to your Sheffield address, you load your waste up to the fill line, then let us know when it's ready for collection. Our lorries usually operate from 7:30am to 5pm on weekdays, with some Saturday deliveries available in busier periods.

Commercial Skip Hire in Sheffield
Sheffield businesses often need larger waste containers. We deliver to commercial premises across the area including the industrial estates along Penistone Road, workshops in Attercliffe, and office blocks in the city centre. We handle the paperwork for skips placed on public land, making things straightforward. Our commercial skips serve small shops clearing stockrooms, offices replacing furniture, and building sites needing regular waste removal.
Skip Hire Sheffield Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for skip hire in Sheffield?
You need a permit for skips placed on Sheffield roads or pavements. These cost £35 and take 1-2 days to process through Sheffield Council. We sort the paperwork for you. Skips on private land like driveways don't need permits. Some streets in Sheffield have special rules, especially around Ecclesall Road and city centre parking zones.
What waste can't go in a skip?
Most household and building waste is fine, but certain items aren't allowed. Don't put asbestos, electrical equipment, batteries, tyres, gas bottles, liquid paint, chemicals or plasterboard in skips. The Bernard Road recycling facility rejects skips with these items. Council waste sites on Blackstock Road and at Beighton handle some of these materials separately. Ring us if you're unsure about something.
How do I pick the right skip size?
A 2-yard skip holds about 30 bin bags and fits in a car parking space. Kitchen renovations typically need 4-6 yard skips. House clearances work better with 8-yard skips. Remember that soil and rubble are heavy - a small skip fills quickly with dense materials. A standard Sheffield wheelie bin holds 4-5 bags, which helps with size estimates. Terraced houses on roads like Crookes Valley Road often have limited space, so smaller skips work better there.
How long can I keep the skip?
Skip hire usually runs for 7-14 days. We collect it when you ring us to say it's ready. Fill only to the level line marked on the skip. Our lorries operate 7:30am to 5pm weekdays with some Saturday collections in S1-S11 postcodes. If you need the skip longer, let us know before the collection date. The council permit covers a fixed period, so extending means paying for a new permit if it's on a road.
Where in Sheffield do you deliver skips?
We cover all Sheffield postcodes from S1-S35 including Hillsborough, Crookes, Meadowhead and Dore. We also serve Rotherham and north Derbyshire towns like Dronfield. Some narrow streets in older parts of Sheffield need smaller skips due to access. The steep roads around Walkley can be tricky for larger skips, especially in winter when ice is an issue. If you live on a hill with limited access, mention this when booking so we can send the right vehicle.
