What our customers are saying

Kim Bishop - Stamford

We hired a skip at short notice, the customer service was amazing from Tara. She went out of her way to find what we needed, and went over and above what we could have expected!

Gillian Patterson - Leeds

I was looking for a company to hire a skip from. I went through Google and phoned half a dozen companies. It wasn’t just about price, but availability too. On top of which I got a second week which really helped ,as both my husband and myself are disabled and was clearing out some cupboards and renovating some rooms. The lady I spoke to was helpful and spoke very nicely. It’s definitely a company I would use again and have already recommended.

Colin Pogson - Peterborough

Called TWBC as I was struggling to get the skip I wanted when I needed it from my usual supplier. They were great, sorted what I wanted for when I needed it and it was even a slightly better price than my usual supplier. Nice friendly people on the phone who confirmed everything and answered any questions. Will start to call them first in the future. Very happy customer.

Skip Hire Bedford Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for skip hire in Bedford?

A permit is needed for skips placed on Bedford roads or pavements. No permit is required for skips on private property. We handle the permit application with Bedford Council, which typically takes 2-3 working days to process. The council charges a fee for permits which varies based on location and duration. Skips on public roads need safety markings and lights as per local regulations. Some areas near Bedford town centre have specific restrictions on skip placement due to traffic management schemes.

What waste can't go in my Bedford skip?

Most household and garden waste is acceptable in our skips. Items we cannot take include hazardous materials (asbestos, chemicals), electrical equipment, plasterboard, tyres, gas bottles and batteries. Bedford Council's Barkers Lane recycling centre accepts these restricted items. We send waste to sorting facilities where about 80% is recycled. Construction waste from Bedford sites is processed separately to extract recyclable materials like metals, wood and rubble.

Which skip size suits my project in Bedford?

A 2-yard or 4-yard skip holds 25-55 bin bags and works for garden clearances or single-room renovations in Bedford homes. Kitchen or bathroom renovations usually need 6-yard or 8-yard skips (65-85 bin bags). Larger projects in Bedford properties often require 10-yard to 16-yard skips. Commercial sites in Bedford Business Park or Woburn Road Industrial Estate typically use 16-yard or 20-yard skips. Waste must not be loaded above the level top of the skip as this makes transport on Bedford roads unsafe and may lead to collection refusal.

How long can I keep a skip and what's the collection process?

The standard hire period is 7 days. You can fill the skip as needed during this time. Contact us when you're ready for collection, and we'll typically collect within 1-2 working days, depending on availability and road conditions in Bedford. For properties in Biddenham or Great Barford where access might be more limited, we schedule collections during off-peak traffic hours. Wait-and-load services are available for quick jobs, with a loading time of 30 minutes. Extended hire periods can be arranged when booking your skip.

What access do you need to deliver skips in Bedford?

Our delivery vehicles need 3 metres width and 4 metres height clearance. Narrow streets in older parts of Bedford like Castle Road area or parts of Clapham can present access challenges. For terraced houses with limited front access, road placement with permits is common. Driveways should be solid enough to support skip weight. Certain newer developments in Wixams and Great Barford have management restrictions on skip placement. If access is difficult, we can suggest alternatives like smaller skips or our man and van waste collection service, which might be more suitable for Bedford's tighter residential areas.
